FEM simulation of infeed rotary swaging with structured tools

Non structured meshes for Cloth GPU simulation using FEM

We present a Finite Element Method (FEM) implementation for cloth simulation on the GPU. The advantages of FEM are twofold: the realism of cloth simulations using this method is improved compared with other methods like the widely used mass-spring one, and it has a wider application rank because it can be used for general triangulated cloth meshes. We are able to detect collisions between cloth...

FEM, and simulation tools in the manufacturing chain

Today’s businesses continually search for ways to increase productivity. To achieve this goal, shorter product development cycles and shorter manufacturing times are required. In both cases, problems that may arise during development must be identified much faster. In product development, this is done using virtual prototypes that can be easily duplicated and shared between everyone involved. I...

Dynamic Simulation of an Industrial Rotary Dryer

Evaluation and Ranking of Discrete Simulation Tools

In studying through simulation, choosing an appropriate tool/language would be a difficult task because many of them are available. On the other hand, few research works focus on evaluation of simulation tools/languages and their comparison. This paper makes a couple of evaluations and ranks more than fifty simulation tools that are currently available. The first evaluation and ranking is in th...

High Performance FEM Simulation

Processor technology is still dramatically advancing and promises further enormous improvements in processing data for the next decade. On the other hand, much lower advances in moving data are expected such that the efficiency of many numerical software tools for Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is restricted by the cost for memory access. In this article, we briefly discuss concepts for ...
