The Advanced Engineering Show concluded last Thursday, closing on two days of lively networking with the wider Engineering industry. We represented the best of topology optimisation and advanced simulation with a few of our projects, including: the Robot Bike Co R130 rocker component; the ULTRAN Rear Drive Unit (RDU) developed
Advanced Simulation Methods for Light-weighting within a Passenger Car Powertrain Demonstrating the optimisation capabilities of Advanced Simulation, the presentation delivers a useful insight into the combined benefits of Advanced Simulation and GENESIS Link Below Click to load presentation in pdf viewer
Design optimisation has now become a necessary process for generating new designs, eliminating design issues, and minimising component mass. For a long time this has been done manually, and by many design engineers it still is, but generative design programs can provide better results in a significantly reduced timescale. We
GRM is a rapidly expanding provider of CAE services, engineering consultancy and software solutions. Since its beginning in 2003, GRM has grown every year to stand out as a leading organisation in its field. Due to continued expansion of its consultancy activities GRM seeks a CAE Project Engineer to support
HVD have been GRM Consulting’s partners in Japan since June 2016. HVD are based in Miyoshi, Aichi, Japan with their main areas of expertise being in vehicle interior parts design, seat design, wiring harnesses and exterior trim design including door handles/locks, grilles and spoilers. HVD joined GRM as partners to
Ford Motor Company, in collaboration with WMG, University of Warwick, Gestamp, and GRM Consulting have developed a lightweight composite rear suspension knuckle for a C-segment vehicle with the support of Innovate UK. A combination of unique carbon fibre deployment, GRM’s advanced optimisation techniques, and a bespoke manufacturing process, have resulted
Academy Racing win the F1 in schools UK championship and are looking for even more success at the World Finals in Kuala Lumpur later this year. After successfully finishing in second place in their regional championship, where Academy Racing were awarded prizes for Best R&D and Best Team Identity, the
Simulation-based optimisation techniques have been continually developing within the industrial environment for over 25 years. They have, however, remained a relatively under-utilised technique when compared to other CAE techniques such as the Finite Element Method. In more recent years, legislative requirements such as C02 emissions in the Automotive sector have
Composite optimisation in motorsport and the consideration of practical manufacturing Summary The application of composite materials in Motorsport has become understandably commonplace thanks to the stuctural performance benefits they provide. This couples with the suitability of the low volume production techniques that are commonplace thanks to the structural performance benefits
With the support of Innovate UK, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) are leading a 3 year collaborative research project titled ULTRAN (Ultra Lightweight TRansmission and Driveline), with the aim of developing complimentary lightweight technologies in order to provide a step-change in powertrain weight. Through the use of next generation materials, novel
