Ultrasim® – CAE Competence for Your Innovative Components

Ultrasim® is the versatile and flexible CAE competence for your innovations using BASF plastics. Our calculation of component concepts on a virtual basis starts with appropriate materials and adequate material models, ranging from the virtual prototype and ideal manufacturing process to the finished mass-produced component.

What is Ultrasim®?

With Ultrasim® you can tailor your components for specific requirements – for efficient, lightweight components subject to high levels of stress and for your long-term market success.

The Building Blocks of Ultrasim®

The modern calculation of thermoplastic components makes high demands on the developer. In the context of manufacturing process, part geometry and material only an integrated approach can lead to the ideal component.

Plastics reinforced with short glass fibers in particular have anisotropic properties depending on how the fibers perform in injection molding. Modern optimization methods support the part design and can improve it in every phase of its development. A completely new numerical material description can take into account the typical characteristics of the plastic in the simulation.

 

The Solution: Ultrasim®

With Ultrasim®, we offer you a unique combination of core CAE tools so that each phase in the development of a component can be monitored virtually.

Bei der Gestaltung der einteiligen, selbsttragenden Kunststoff-Sitzschale wurde das inzwischen universell einsetzbare Computersimulationsinstrument ULTRASIMTM der BASF SE eingesetzt. In der Entwicklungsphase wurde die Sitzschale aus dem Kunststoff Ultramid® mit Hilfe des Simulationsinstruments virtuell ausgelegt. Die BASF-Entwickler nutzten dies unter anderem zur Konstruktionsberechnung und zur Belastungssimulation der Sitzschale. Abdruck honorarfrei. Copyright by BASF. In the design of the one-piece, self-supporting plastic seat shell, use was made of what is now BASF’s universal computer simulation instrument ULTRASIMTM. In the development phase, the seat shell of the plastic Ultramid® was virtually designed by means of the simulation instrument. The BASF developers used this for example to calculate the construction and for the stress simulation of the seat shell. Print free of charge.
