Chennai, India – Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), the developer of the industry-leading CAE platform, MeshWorks, and AVL, a global leader in mobility technologies, announced a strategic partnership to deliver a toolchain featuring AVL EXCITE™ and MeshWorks to optimize the propulsion design cycle. AVL will serve as an authorized distributor of MeshWorks to mobility companies across the United States and Europe.
The toolchain allows CAE engineers to create finite element models from CAD data, parameterize them, and perform shape and topology optimization for use within the AVL EXCITE™ for dynamic and acoustic simulations. Ultimately, this accelerates design cycles through rapid CAE iterations without the need for CAD to be in the loop. AVL and DEP’s technologies can be used in a variety of areas including light duty and heavy-duty vehicles to marine and aerospace applications.
“We are very excited to partner with AVL, their expertise and global reach make them an ideal partner to deliver MeshWorks’ advanced parametric optimization capabilities,” said Radha Krishnan, President & Founder, DEP. “We are confident this collaboration will create significant value for CAE professionals across the United States and Europe.”
Mick Winship, Executive Director for Advanced Simulation Technologies at AVL, commented, “Our partnership with DEP allows engineers to integrate MeshWorks with AVL tools to enhance their existing workflows. The integrated toolchain provides the simulation products and process needed to efficiently optimize performance, weight, and ultimately cost associated with the development process.”
