IPS Cable Simulation

Real-Time Simulation of Cables and Hoses for Design and Virtual Assembly Planning

The software package »IPS Cable Simulation« integrates newly developed methods and powerful algorithms that enable physically accurate simulation of cables and hoses in real time, thus facilitating interactive work

This technology is widely used in design, virtual assembly and digital validation.

Highlights

  • real-time simulation
  • structural mechanics model
  • high accuracy
  • all kinds of cable materials and cross sections
  • All types of cable fasteners (clips)
  • Wide range of analysis options (forces, moments, stresses, distances, etc.)
  • collision detection
  • contact handling (prevent penetration)

Technologies in Overview

 

Operational Simulations of Cables and Hoses

Virtual cable and hose analysis: The focus is on service life, oscillations, and »Noise, Vibration, and Harshness« (NVH).

 

Simulation of Flexible Flat Structures

There are many flexible flat structures in vehicles: from ribbon cables and bellows to interior trim. We develop simulations to optimize the design of these components.

 

Material Models and Parameterization for Cable Simulation

We not only provide the simulation method, but can also reliably determine the model parameters.
