Process reliability through simulation and calculation
Digital engineering, ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK's digital development approach, makes it possible to safeguard critical factors of bolted joints at an early stage through simulation, calculation and precise forecasts.
The demands placed on modern joining technologies are constantly increasing. The increasing complexity of components, materials and production processes requires innovative solutions that ensure maximum process reliability right from the development phase.
Indeed, the success of a product begins in the development phase. Through the targeted use of digital tools such as finite element simulation (Ansys), Fast Designer tools and regulatory-compliant verifications, companies can evaluate and optimise the performance of their connections even before production.
Our customers are faced with the challenge of developing ever lighter, more efficient and more durable products. With Digital Engineering, we offer a solution that enables resilient validation of screw connections and components - long before the first physical component is produced, explains Dr. Stefan Ziegler, Application Sales Engineer at ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK.
Simulation, calculation and analysis for maximum performance
By combining simulation, calculation and compliance with recognised regulations such as the VDI 2230 guideline, Digital Engineering enables precise prediction of the behaviour of connections under real operating conditions.
The advantages include optimisation of component design and bolted connections through early identification of critical load conditions, reduction of failure risks through detailed predictions of assembly and operational behaviour, and increased sustainability and cost efficiency, as faults are detected at an early stage and design changes are possible without cost-intensive prototypes.
Digital engineering is used in numerous industries - from the automotive and aerospace sectors to electronics and medical technology. Companies that rely on predictive engineering benefit from shorter development times, higher product quality and increased process reliability. ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK's digital solutions make fastening technology more efficient, safer and more sustainable - thus creating the basis for tomorrow's requirements.
