Thanks to everyone who attended the eighth live webinar<\/a> in our series, Getting Started with 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE<\/em>\u00ae Works: <\/em>What is the Life of my e-Bike?<\/em> We appreciate your participation. Please keep the feedback coming so we can keep creating webinars to best suit your needs. We value your insights and invite you to share your thoughts on how we can enhance our future webinars.<\/p>\n

Working Together<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this live webinar, you will see how utilizing SOLIDWORKS\u00ae<\/a> with 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works Simulation<\/a> can help you catch structural problems, such as excessive strain and fatigue, earlier in the process, preventing potential downstream costs and delays.<\/p>\n

We will cover various topics, including the reasons to use durability testing instead of only a stress analysis, base metal fatigue and weld fatigue differences, and a brief history of fatigue analysis and why strain-based analysis is now preferred.<\/p>\n

SOLIDWORKS enables you to create detailed and accurate models, while 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works Simulation can analyze the durability of your SOLIDWORKS designs. The design and simulation combination (MODSIM) enables quicker detection of design flaws and potential product failures. Integrating 3D CAD and FEA technologies is a comprehensive, cost-effective, and efficient approach to optimizing your designs.<\/p>\n

Understanding Structural Integrity and Durability Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing structural integrity issues in the mechanical design phase is crucial for ensuring safety, durability, and performance.<\/p>\n

Utilizing the right materials can add more strength and durability to your designs. The frame, including the front fork and suspension, should be designed to handle the additional weight and stress from the battery and motor, not to mention the forces introduced by increased speeds. You may need to consider using thicker materials, stronger joints, and enhanced shock absorbers.<\/p>\n

3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works Simulation will allow you to quickly analyze the e-bike model using a variety of materials and design approaches under different load conditions to identify potential failure points. By iterating designs, while leveraging simulation, you can optimize the structure of the model to be both lightweight and strong.<\/p>\n

Staying on top of structural integrity issues throughout the entire design process will enhance the product’s overall safety and longevity and help you reach your cost and time-to-market targets.<\/p>\n

Learn More<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you will see in the webinar, the cloud-based 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform<\/a> enables you to easily share your designs with others in real time with a web-based viewer\u2014no CAD or simulation software required. Collaboration with team members, including suppliers and customers, is simplified. Therefore, decision-making is streamlined as all stakeholders can participate by accessing SOLIDWORKS files from the office, at home, or anywhere with an internet connection.<\/p>\n

You can experience seamless collaboration with the cloud-based 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform, accessing it from any location with an internet connection. On the platform, your designs and simulation studies are just a few clicks away, fostering efficient teamwork and faster innovation.<\/p>\n
