The aim of the current ZIM project is to develop a robust and cost-effective approach to determine consistent material data on mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break, for both welding and crash simulation. Weld structure simulation allows the calculation of the microstructure after welding. The crash simulation cannot use the multiphase heterogeneous material structure after welding so far.
MoKat stands for innovation in welding technology. A publicly funded research project for the development of damage models for cold crack, load and crash simulation for automation and digitalisation in welding technology.
Dr. Loose GmbH is a globally operating engineering services company for welding simulation, manufacturing simulation, thermal simulation and welding consulting.
Our expertise is particularly in demand for automotive customers from all over the world in the special field of numerical manufacturing simulation for welded and heat-treated components.
Our engineering services are built upon more than 20 years of experience.
By using manufacturing simulation and welding simulation, we can support our customers in the product development process from the early stages of planning with our know-how for solving manufacturing-specific challenges.
We are happy to numerically validate your welding assembly before the first arc is ignited.
Our engineers look forward to your challenge and offer you support in finding precise numerical solutions for your assemblies.
We are your competent partner for welding technology consulting,
numerical analysis, welding, heat treatment and assembly simulation.
