Picobello Thermoplastic Elastomer

Elastomers such as rubber require special treatment due to material non-linear behaviour. SolidWorks Simulation provides a rich set of resources for accurately modelling real-world problems involving high geometric and material non-linearities. Applications of Cosmos in non-linear domain are wide ranging. Some of the functionalities include:

Seal behaviour subjected to pre-stress due to assembly and operational loading
Inflation of tyres with steel/ nylon chord reinforcements
Assembly and operational strains in boots, bellows, gaskets, door-seals, bushings, mounts and other visco-elastic materials
On-road condition simulation of wheel-tyre assembly, for contact patch calculations and wheel radial fatigue life.
Contact stress analysis of seals subjected to pressure, temperature and frictional effects
