Operational Impact
By using FEA during product development, TenCate can simulate the effects of the artificial athlete tests on their turf models. This allows them to evaluate the performance of different combinations of turf fiber, infill and backing, and make modifications that will optimize the turf’s performance in the outdoor tests. | |
A ball-bounce analysis is set up using an FEA shell model of a ball full of gas at the correct pressure. For comparison, a real ball is bounced off a surface and the rebound results are then factored into the simulation of the synthetic turf response and used to make product modifications as needed. | |
