Operational Impact
The use of ANSYS Composite PrepPost not only allowed KTM Technologies to overcome the engineering complexities associated with the use of carbon composites but also enabled a simulation-driven development of the composites monocoque. This approach started with design concepts, included the influences of manufacturing, and allowed detailed evaluation of the monocoque. The ability to analyze different possible layups, fiber orientations, and composites materials, as well as the failure behavior of the composites design under different load scenarios, provided KTM Technologies with a comprehensive understanding of the project, leading to a successful development of the KTM X-Bow. | |
Quantitative Benefit
KTM Technologies was able to evaluate different design studies of the composites layup within a single day. | |
The weight of the composites monocoque was reduced by 20 percent using ANSYS simulations. | |
