The transporters and their sheet metal parts need to withstand enormous mechanical loads in relation to their own sizes. The company runs a final simulation of the entire vehicle. “With one or two million nodes, this may be a calculation operation lasting several hours, but it leaves us with correct representations of all environmental conditions for later work on individual parts,” said Franz Plainer, project developer and designer. “As a result of the strength analysis of Femap, we were able, with only minor design modifications, to discontinue using high-tensile steel and change to a material that is much more cost-effective and also easier to work.”
