Airflow Strength and Deformation Analyses
A vent component comprising a core and décor coating was analysed. The purpose was to ensure that airflows were achieved as required. Several options were considered for the core material, with due regard to the manufacturer’s strict requirements. The best material was quickly defined with numerical analyses only, which helped cut the client’s cost. Had we not been able to use the FEM tool, we would have had to manufacture costly prototypes.
