SIMULIA Brand Update & Highlight
SIMULIA is a Simulation brand within Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE company. We provide technology for simulation in each domain – covering Structures, Fluids, Electromagnetics, Multibody, Vibro-acoustics, and Automation & Optimization. This presentation offers a brief overview of these technologies and illustrates that you are using the same technology (per domain) whether you are a standalone product user or are a 3DEXPERIENCE platform user. We then highlight multidisciplinary and multiscale solutions of select industry processes and workflows. We also introduce a new unified licensing model that provides access to all solvers from the same license pool. The new model includes a cost-effective approach to encourage simulation-based design exploration. The presentation concludes with a peek into the remainder of the RUM agenda, including deep-dive sessions in each domain.

Fullwave Simulation and Analysis of Portable Transmitter Immunity Testing
Performing virtual prototyping to understand and solve EMC problems is becoming a norm in a typical product cycle. There are various forms of EMC simulations that can be performed. Of the many types, immunity simulation is one the most beneficial as the results obtained through measurements are difficult and almost impossible to quantify due to potential risks of equipment damage and human safety concerns associated with it.
In this presentation, 3D EM simulation is applied to model and analyze the impact of the field coupling to the DUT. Systematic analysis through gradual inclusion and impact of each individual component, such as the mobile transmitter antenna, PCB, TFT display, and metallic housing will be discussed. Through the use of 2D field plots and 3D field animations, it was possible to focus on the root cause of the problem. Having identified the source, virtual prototyping was applied to improve the robustness of the design.

Design of Cost-Effective Metasurfaces for Efficient Broadband Polarization Conversion
In this talk, we will present two novel cost-effective metasurface designs which can achieve broadband polarization conversion. The designs are optimized in CST Microwave Studio Suite to obtain the set of parameters that gives the highest polarization conversion ratio (PCR) for the largest frequency range. We fabricated two prototypes. The first prototype achieved a PCR>0.9 between 8.9 and 12.2 GHz. The second prototype achieved a PCR>0.9 between 8 and 17.85 GHz.

Batteries and electric drives: Multiphysics-multiscale-driven design
An overview of the Dassault Systemes battery modeling capabilities from atoms to system. Focus in this presentation is placed on 3D modeling aspects from parametrized designs to engineering KPIs: a) 3D Cell engineering including thermo-electrochemistry in charge/discharge applications and associated swelling, short circuit, and thermal runaway; and b) Module/Pack Engineering focusing on durability, thermal management, and safety applications.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform can be used to facilitate collaboration across entire organizations and functions. In this example, we will demonstrate how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can be used to facilitate the design of an e-drive motor from requirements and test planning to conceptual design, and all the way to detailed design and performance analysis.

Practical Simulation of Wave-structural Response of a Novel Gravity-Based Offshore Platform Using a Coupled FSI Analysis
Worley’s team has had the opportunity to design a unique, novel gravity-based offshore platform in the Caspian Sea. The platform’s substructure is a four-legged semi-submersible intended to sit on the seabed while withstanding harsh environmental loadings of the region. As one of the first platforms of its type, the design process is met with challenges that requires solutions outside of the design code conventions. The hydrodynamic load is a key design component that is addressed typically using Morison’s Equation for slender structures. Yet, the geometry of the substructure falls outside of the equation’s validity range, and thus requires an alternative, more detailed approach. The power of SIMULIA’s XFlow enables a coupled fluid-structure interaction analysis that address the need for hydrodynamic loading. The mapped hydrodynamic pressure represents a realistic wave actions, and when combined with the ice actions and soil-structure interaction modelled in Abaqus, they enable the design team to achieve robust and optimum design even for concepts that is outside of the industry standards.
