MAHLE used ANSYS FLUENT and ANSYS Mechanical

In developing an air intake manifold , MAHLE used ANSYS FLUENT and ANSYS Mechanical software to guarantee pressure losses, flow distribution, structural strength and dynamic behavior that met or exceeded customer expectations.

During a component's lifetime, several phenomena act simultaneously. An air intake manifold should present reasonable flow restrictions, resistance to internal pressure loads and stability under dynamic solicitations. All is considered when looking for the final global performance.

Use of software from ANSYS plays a vital role at MAHLE, verifying all those influences for better component design, faster than ever. Also, the virtual models allow engineers to save costs, since fewer prototypes are required throughout the several phases of development.

The company brand is improving since MAHLE is recognized by customers not just as supplier but as a a smarter technological partner, prepared to face new challenges that others cannot even imagine.
