Predictive modelling technique helps TKA Tallent Chassis optimise automotive component design
Predictive modelling technique helps TKA Tallent Chassis optimise automotive component design10 Sep 2007
Corus has deployed its Forming to Strength (F2S®) predictive modelling technique to help TKA Tallent Chassis validate the strength of sub-assembly components. All manufacturing processes can change the physical properties of a material. It is therefore essential that component manufacturers and carmakers understand how steel will perform and behave as it is formed into shape. Corus has developed a number of modelling techniques that enable customers to include these changes in material properties in crash, fatigue or strength analyses as an integral part of the product development process.
