Software Solutions for Fatigue Strength and Powertrain Simulation

For more than 30 years, we have been a reliable partner to the industry when it comes to computational fatigue life predictions, strength analyses and the simulation of complex powertrains.

The development of new types of vehicle drives and vehicle components presents the automotive industry with numerous challenges. Powertrain simulation plays a decisive role in this dynamic environment. By accurately predicting fuel consumption and emissions, we contribute to innovative solutions with our winEVA software.

The calculation of fatigue strength is crucial for predicting the fatigue life of components under real loads. The analyses with winLIFE ensure reliability and safety in a wide range of industries, from the automotive industry to wind turbines.

Realistic driving cycles are essential for predicting fatigue life, emissions and fuel consumption. The winADAM measurement data acquisition system was developed for this purpose. Installed in every vehicle in just one minute, winADAM records extensive data without additional sensors.

Further Development of E-Bikes with winEVA

We support Aalen University in the further development of E-bikes.
With our winEVA software, we simulate the non-uniformity of the powertrain torque via the pedals and implement typical electric motor control and rider shifting behaviour of a pedelec in winEVA. The measured data from various pedelec rides are used as the route.

Fatigue Life Analysis with winLIFE

Using computational prediction, we analyse the fatigue life of a wide range of components from vehicles to wind turbines.
We design and calculate new types of vehicle components using FE methods and fatigue life prediction. Structural analyses with regard to fatigue life are carried out using FEM and MBS systems in order to find the optimum solution from a wide range of options.
We have developed the winLIFE software tool for these services, which is successfully used by our customers.
We advise and support our customers from the purchase of the winLIFE software to the realisation of their projects. We also analyse damage analysis issues.

Realistic Driving Cycles with winADAM

Realistic driving cycles are of great importance for the prediction of fatigue life, emissions and fuel consumption. The winADAM data acquisition system has been specially developed for this purpose and records video and position data in addition to various driving dynamics and mechanical parameters. A special measurement vehicle (MB EQA 250) is available for driving tests.
