[ASU/V-Struct Implementation Case] Kawanishi Industrial Co., Ltd.

Technical data presentation in progress! Practical application of simulation technology for improving the automotive headlining molding process.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the structural analysis software 'ASU/V-Struct' at Kawanishi Industrial Co., Ltd., a global comprehensive manufacturer. At the company, due to the viscoelastic nature of the headlining (ceiling material) molding, it was difficult to make predictions through simulations, resulting in significant time and costs for evaluations using actual parts, which posed challenges to development speed. After the implementation, factors related to moldability were identified, and pre-simulation evaluations became possible, leading to a significant improvement in production stability, with almost no need for rework after molding. Details of the expected effects of CAE and the development overview can be found in the PDF document, so please take a look. [Challenges] ■ Significant time and costs incurred for evaluations using actual parts ■ Increased demand for further improvement in development speed *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information

**Effects** - The stability of production has significantly improved, and rework after molding is almost unnecessary. - The number of personnel involved in molding trials has been reduced by about 20% compared to before the adoption of CAE, contributing to a shorter lead time. - The quality of prototypes for new products has improved, greatly pleasing our clients. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
