Methodology for Virtual Analysis of Dynamic Behavior of Flexible Tubes and Hoses Associated with Engine Displacement

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Through virtual dynamic simulations it is possible to gain quality, safety, reduce cost and development time. Eliminating prototypes components to avoid future problems with package and early degradation of automotive components.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">This article has the objective validate the simulation methodology linked with flexible tube and hoses that are under engine displacement action to increase the confidence level of the design.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">The methodology validation consists in compare scanned physical model and virtual simulation models. Using Simcenter 3D <i>Flexible Pipe</i> software as study base. As input parameters it was used geometrical, physical, and chemical data for the virtual model.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Finally, the environment can apply the dynamic movement of the powertrain set in the validation of the package and the evaluated component.</div></div>
