R17 Software releases – Overview of new functionalities and features

New functionalities and features across our R17RomaxDESIGNER, CONCEPT, CAD FUSION and DynamicFUSION software releases help to reduce development time and streamline software usage.

New features include enhanced electro-mechanical design capabilities for total driveline engineering. There are also improved functionalities for advanced driveline analysis in NVH, efficiency, gear and bearing performance and process optimisation.

Electrification – for total driveline engineering

• Electro-mechanical design trade-offs at the concept design stage
• NVH powertrain response to gear and electrical machine excitation
• Multi-fidelity modelling for optimum simulation speed and insight

Pioneering technology – for advanced driveline analysis

• NVH: advanced planetary sideband dynamics
• Gears: detailed root stress analysis
• Efficiency: new FVA 345 calculation methods
• Bearings: journal bearings, and advanced analytical models for roller and roller rib contact

Integration – for process optimisation

• Enhanced batch execution capability for automated design and analysis processes
• Export structural response for acoustic analysis: Transfer housing vibration responses from RomaxDESIGNER into acoustic software packages, for faster prediction of radiated noise
