CAE refers to the use of computers to solve and analyze the structural mechanical properties of complex projects and products, as well as optimize structural performance, etc., to organically organize all aspects of engineering (production). The key is to integrate relevant information so that it is generated and exists throughout the entire life cycle of the project (product). CAE software can be used for static structural analysis, dynamic analysis; study linear and nonlinear problems; analyze structures (solids), fluids, electromagnetics, etc.
KONNRA, a pioneer in the field of connector manufacturing, has integrated CAE simulation and analysis technology into the product development process at an early stage with its forward-looking vision to optimize product design, accurately analyze plug-in and pull-out force parameters, and ensure excellent product performance.
Detailed explanation of CAE technology advantages
Discover potential problems in advance : CAE technology is like a “perspective lens” for products, which can detect hidden design defects and potential problems in the early stages of design, avoiding the high cost and time waste caused by later modifications. This not only improves the overall quality of the product, but also ensures a seamless connection from design to production.
Reduce test time and cost : Traditional methods require multiple physical tests to verify design parameters, while CAE technology can perform efficient and accurate simulations in a virtual environment, greatly reducing test time and cost. This “virtual testing” method not only improves test efficiency, but also reduces test costs, saving valuable resources for enterprises.
Reduce development and design costs : The use of CAE technology significantly reduces the number of physical prototypes and related material costs. Through virtual simulation, designers can iterate and optimize products multiple times without making physical prototypes, thereby reducing the overall cost of development and design.
Shorten the development cycle : CAE technology allows designers to quickly verify and modify design plans in a short time, significantly shortening the development cycle from conceptual design to final product. This ability to quickly respond to the market enables KONNRA to quickly launch new products that meet market demand and seize market opportunities.
Solve complex design problems
- Contact nonlinear analysis : Verify the stability and reliability of the connector under various force values to ensure the performance of the product in actual use.
- Material nonlinear analysis : In-depth understanding of material properties provides strong support for scientific material selection and ensures the durability of products in different environments.
- Motion simulation : simulate the motion process of the mechanism to verify the rationality of the design and the efficiency of the motion, and avoid performance degradation caused by design defects.
The plastic deformation of the metal needle has increased compared to before. After insertion, the cantilever has deformed 0.12mm in the vertical direction compared to the original model . The holding force of the metal needle is about 36N (friction coefficient 0.1)
- Thermal field analysis : Analyze the temperature rise of high-current products to ensure the stability and safety of products under high-load operation.
KONNRA Connectors has significantly strengthened the strength and innovation capabilities of its R&D team , injecting continuous strong power into the development of the company. This move not only improved product quality, but also gave customers deeper trust and recognition of its brand.
