Innovation corner

Our R&D team has worked hard to make PreonLab 5.1 real. It is packed with entirely new options for the most prominent simulation challenges solved with PreonLab. New physical models broaden the scope of possible applications. Numerical improvements shorten computation times even further. On top of that, we have thoroughly revised and extended how PreonLab handles statistic data to enhance the usability, once more. Stay tuned for more insights of this release in November 2021 & register to be part of the release event and be one of the firsts to get to know the new and enhanced features!

The simulation of a gearbox represents one of the most challenging topics in classical CFD, since the complex geometries, the free surface of the oil and the dynamics of the system can only be solved with the very highest effort for classical CFD methods. Especially for electric axle systems, a robust oiling concept is a very important milestone in the development due to the high number of revolutions, which is usually validated quite late on the test bench.

Vehicle soiling phenomena can be a major safety hazard due to obstructed driver’s visibility of the road or abnormal operation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In this webinar you will learn how to address both challenges in a virtual testing environment early in the vehicle development process.    

Get ready for the »NEXT LEVEL«. Join us to celebrate the release of PreonLab 5.0 and be the first to learn about the new features.

Vehicle water wading and rain water management are two of the main liquid-dominated vehicle body problems which, instead of performing high cost real-life experiments, can be simulated in a virtual environment. Addressing these challenges in a virtual environment requires in-depth engineering expertise and a powerful yet efficient computational tool. Virtual development provides additional insights and makes design variants possible early in the design cycle. During this webinar you will discover what makes AVL’s solution ideal for these kinds of engineering challenges, and how simulations can be a real alternative to testing.  

Do you want to develop your gearboxes faster and more cost-efficiently? Do you need to avoid unnecessary losses caused by the oil sump, optimize the lubrication of the bearings and improve the cooling concept? Then don’t miss this webinar.  

Efficient and safe water management is an important aspect in the vehicle development process. Virtual prototyping greatly contributes in terms of design variations, shape optimization and wetting prevention.  

Does this sound familiar to you – are you looking to optimize the design of the vehicle for water passage? Or would you like to optimize rain water evacuation in order to prevent corrosion and icing?
