Development, calculation and validation
Design and validation are entirely performed internally at the Miribel R&D centre.
Our calculation centre provides:
- IDEAS / IDEAS-VIBRO vibro-acoustic calculation
- Rheological calculation Moldflow
- Flow calculation with the FLUENT simulation software
- Simulation of high speed impacts (crash)
- ANSYS structure calculation
