Finite Element Analysis (FEA) at STÜKEN
STÜKEN offers digital solutions in tool design and toolmaking
As part of the increasing digitalization, deep drawing specialist STÜKEN is expanding its expertise to include digital solutions in tool design and toolmaking. Customers benefit from a higher development speed and improved information gathering for decision-making.
Innovative companies aim to launch new products as quickly as possible - keyword "time to market". This requires an extremely fast development and manufacturing process. This in turn makes it necessary to obtain design feedback even before the first physical prototypes are created. This is where STÜKEN can support with a broad portfolio of digital solutions.
"In the recent past, STÜKEN observed three main trends," says Nils Petersohn, Managing Director at STÜKEN. "First, our customers' demand for deep drawing design support in the development phase has increased. Second, 'virtual try-outs' or testing in the early development phase have become more important. Third, we see an increasing need for functional validation." To meet these trends, STÜKEN supports its customers with data generated using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). With geometry data, we make virtual testing in the customer's CAD assembly possible. Forming data can provide the customer with information on which raw material is best suited for the component. During product development, STÜKEN supports its customers with FEA prototypes during design. The load on a component can also be simulated using FEA for different materials and designs. This provides customers with information on how to optimize their component design.
Together with our customers, we develop optimum components in terms of function, production and cost -contact us for further discussions!
