🚜🦾🪨🔗 I share this blog post about the “ #Excavator closed-loop #simulator: From #fuel to #soil ”. Combining different #Siemens products from #1D (#Systems) with #Simcenter #Amesim 🎨⏱️ and #3D approaches with #Simcenter #Motionsolve (#MBS), #Opstistruct (#FEA) and #EDEM, all coupled together. 👁️blog post : https://lnkd.in/eyj253Qa ⛽ Can you improve excavator productivity without increasing fuel consumption or mechanical failures? 📐 Why traditional development approaches fall short ⏱️ A new paradigm: the excavator closed-loop simulator 💡 1. Building the foundation: from CAD to realistic machine behavior 💧 2. Bringing the machine to life with Simcenter Amesim 🪨 3. Replacing assumptions with real soil interaction 🧩 4. Closing the loop: capturing the full system behavior 🎯 From engineering challenge to competitive advantage 💻 Explore what’s possible 📌 Some extracts:   “This integrated approach fundamentally transforms excavator development. Instead of relying on sequential validation and costly testing cycles, OEMs can explore design alternatives in a fully virtual environment.”   “What enables this transformation is the connection between disciplines. Multibody simulation, system simulation, bulk material modeling, and structural analysis are no longer separate tools, but part of a continuous digital thread.”   “This digital continuity ensures that information flows seamlessly from one domain to another, enabling a holistic understanding of machine performance.”   🤝 It’s always nice to see synergies 🔗 between #Siemens products 🛠️ to go some steps further in the analysis 🎯. #Simcenter #SystemSimulation #Amesim #heavyequipment #excavators #construction #offhighway #hydraulics #bucket #digging #MBS #multibody #FEA #FiniteElements #DEM #DiscreteElements #performances #controls #fuelconsumption #energysaving #sustainability #durability #digitaltwin #EngineerInnovation
