Address crucial structural integrity issues in the mechanical design phase to ensure safety, durability, and performance.
Utilizing the right materials can add more strength and durability to your designs. For example, an e-bike frame, including the front fork and suspension, should be designed to handle the additional weight and stress from the battery and motor, not to mention the forces introduced by increased speed. You may need to consider thicker materials, stronger joints, and enhanced shock absorbers.
3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation enables you to quickly analyze an e-bike model using a variety of materials and designs under different load conditions to identify potential failure points. By leveraging simulation while iterating designs you can optimize a model to be both lightweight and strong.
Staying on top of structural integrity issues from the start of the design process will enhance a product's overall safety and longevity and help you reach your cost and time-to-market targets.
