Taking into account non-linear geometrical behavior, TEA Pipe users can analyze the behavior of brake pipes from CATIA V5 environment. They can easily obtain the deformed shape, curvatures, stresses, collisions information for successive configurations. A variety of pipe details (Supports, Reinforcements, Spirals...) and kinematical description (Simple or Imported from DMU Kinematic) is available.
TEA Pipe provides you with a comprehensive and very powerful software for brake pipes analysis. It allows the use of a Pipe Manufacturer Database. The material behavior can also be defined in a Database. The brake pipe connectors, supports... can be defined on points and geometries from your current CATIA V5 models. Distance measurement between the deformed shape and the surrounding surfaces allows the user to detect possible collisions. A new pipe shape can be created from the analysis result. With a simple kinematical definition, the wheel rotation and translation can be taken into account. With the advanced kinematical definition, complex movements can be imported from DMU Kinematics. With TEA Pipe, the best length, the best connectors positions... can be found, while checking collisions or curvatures.
TEA Pipe is perfectly embedded in CATIA V5 for the modeling, the non-linear mechanical analysis and the post-processing pipes. Results are post-processed graphically in the form of isovalues or as animations.
TEA Pipe benefits of advanced visualization tools of CATIA V5, allowing very efficient and straightforward pre- and post-processing of non-linear mechanical analyses. The results that can be post-processed includes deformed mesh, nodal normal distance, curvature, force, moment and successive configurations. |
