Optimization of Passenger Car Brake Systems by Stress
Analysis
Rolf Klamann, Continental Teves
The topic mechatronic simulation is cross-sector gaining
more and more significant. What constitutes
a successful and innovative mechatronic product, namely the
synergetic integration
of mechanics, electrics/electronics and software,
presents itself as a big challenge in the development.
Especially in the Automotive environment the
development of security parts like brake
systems the analyse and optimization of each
component has a very
high importance.
Weight reduction of brake systems with parallel
increase of car weight and speed is the challenge
we must solve today.
The second aspect is the reduction of real
tests to save money as much as possible.
The simulation results are as state-of-the-art
mandatory of the product release process.
Continental is since a lot of years in
front of using simulation tools in this
area to manage and optimize best-in-class products
before SOP and during production.
This will guarantee the future of one of
the key supplier in the automotive industry.
