Simulation and Evaluation

Properly Simulated is Half Tested

Product development supported by simulation makes it possible to design computer generated variations of a product and test their suitability without the need to manufacture them. This shortens the development time, allows you to modify your product in the early stages of development.  


We set up virtual prototype tests in places where they can become the basis of an optimised  development process; these will significantly reduce the expenditure on creating working samples.

 

Specifically, what this means for you is fast and proven results, early quality assurance and reduced development costs.

 

We are your Partner for

We specialise in

  • Complex design calculations
  • Mechanical simulation, structure analysis, linear and non-linear deformation and strength analysis, multiple component simulation and kinetics.
  • Optical simulation
  • Multi-physics simulation
  • Hardware-in-the-loop evaluation using Matlab Simulink - realisation of the simulation results
Project examples
Optical barcode scanner for miniaturised measuring device
Using new technologies, Zühlke developed an integrated optical sensor for recognizing barcodes on consumables used in medical equipment. Functionality was substantially improved while the product footprint was reduced. More...
Model-Based Design for pressure sensors
Precise high-vacuum pressure sensors are complex systems. In this project to improve these types of sensors, Zühlke modelled and simulated their behaviour using MATLAB & Simulink. The code for the firmware was to be created from the iteratively optimized model. More...
FEM simulation: component subject to thermal loading
Zühlke used a FEM simulation tool to test CAD models of a design variation for behaviour at high temperatures and for strength at varying temperatures. The customer did not need any infrastructure of its own for this project. More...
