Simulation and Virtual Reality

SIMULATION

CAE Simulations

Analysis for the prediction of structural and kinematical behaviour of CAD designed pieces using Finite Element programs (CAE), which permit the optimization of piece thickness and check which is the most suitable material, depending on the function the piece.

Virtual Studies on safety testing

Tests can be simulated that follow safety regulations, especially those for toys. They enable us to predict if the physical product, from CAD design, will comply with safety regulations, even before it is manufactured.

In addition, you can analyse the movement and position of the person to verify the ergonomics of the product.

VIRTUAL REALITY

Study of design proposals

In most cases, at the conceptualisation and design stage of a new product, several people should make decisions on the appearance the product is to have, with regards to the shape, size and colour as well. Visualisation and creation of personalised menus where you can vary the properties of the product allow a fast, clear and real means of assessing the different proposals that are presented.

Development of virtual catalogues and new product presentations

This technology allows you to analyse the product and make it available to the customer, both at the design & product development stage and at that of marketing as well. All possible variants are available as well as a complete description of its physical and aesthetic characteristics, well before launching it onto the production line.

The use of interactive presentations is aimed at the product marketing stage, by creating personalised menus that can continually vary the properties of the models, the simulation of movements, sounds, lights, etc.

These presentations are very useful for conferences, trade fairs and stands.

In addition, these catalogues or virtual product representations can be run on the Web. The virtual product representations through the Internet offer a high level of product realism and reliability, and allow the user to know the product possibilities by interacting with it.

Development of interactive assembly manuals and instructions for the use of products

The development of interactive manuals represents an after sales service for the user, besides adding extra value to the product. It is a very realistic representation that greatly helps the end user, especially for products that require complex assembly, specific user maintenance, or complex usage.

These manuals are an interactive evolution of the written manuals that must be incorporated in many products. However, now these manuals can be included in an electronic form (the standard is on CD or DVD) where the user can easily understand how to assemble a certain product or how to use it.

Virtual recreations of product representations

When our product needs a representation of its usage within a specific environment it can be achieved through virtual animated recreations, where a specific product can be introduced in order to create a more authentic atmosphere for the representation of the models in CAD.
