Powertrain Mechanics
FEV provides a complete range of mechanical development tools and analysis, including simulation, design, testing and prototyping. The latest commercial and proprietary software is used to dramatically reduce the time spent resolving design issues. Every effort is made to ensure that potential design issues are identified and solved prior to prototype construction, representing a significant time and cost savings to our customers. FEV also conducts mechanical development testing to validate the design as well as to provide data for future benchmarking efforts. The links in this subsection offer a sampling of FEV's state-of-the-art capabilities. Please contact FEV directly for additional information.
The time and cost pressures placed on the modern product engineering and development market demands rapid analysis, advanced development capabilities and high levels of precision.
Mechanical development is a vital ingredient for creating a successful powertrain!
The proper function of an engine’s lubrication, ventilation and cooling system are fundamental issues for modern mechanical development.
FEV offers advanced Finite-Element-Analyses (FEA) of complex engine assemblies as well as comprehensive testing activities for thermomechanical development and troubleshooting.
Powertrain dynamics is the interaction of moving components and their structural mechanics, with both being investigated using measurement and simulation tools.
FEV offers comprehensive transmission development resources, CAE and testing activities for the development and troubleshooting of a variety of transmission types.
Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) has been proven to be a valuable asset in reducing both the time and cost for improving existing components and the virtual development of new engine technologies.
CAE and testing going hand in hand" is one of the basic rules for effective CAE validation and trouble shooting
Making our customers successful is more than a vision and requires more than simply supplying first class engineering support
Utilization of CAE has increased within the development process for combustion engines. However, the necessity of testing is required now and in the future.
Appropriate component testing provides a cost-effective verification of the results of the calculations and a capable validation of the engine’s subsystems.
All relevant engine subsystems have to pass functionality tests under fired conditions. FEV is able to conduct these investigations on test benches and in vehicles.
Due to reduced development times, an efficient method for testing the entire engine is necessary.
Customer satisfaction is a primary operating principle for an engineering service provider.
