Virtual prototyping and system analysis, such as that delivered by PreonLab, offers enormous potential for shortening development cycles using innovative simulation methods. Short turnaround times and modern post-processing enable the efficient and confident evaluation of behaviors, such as oil within the gearbox. This also convinced Schaeffler and therefore this experience should now be part of the general public.
By simulating gearbox oil flow with PreonLab in a variety of different system concepts, Schaeffler is able to gain an in-depth understanding of different systems and create the optimal design while saving time and money.
