KTM Sportmotorcycle's RC8 Superbike Gets Ready for the Street with Simulation Solutions from Dassault Systemes.Abaqus Unified FEA (Finite Element Analysis) A mathematical technique for analyzing stress, which breaks down a physical structure into substructures called "finite elements." The finite elements and their interrelationships are converted into equation form and solved mathematically. Software from SIMULIA Provides Realistic Insight into Engine Performance PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector.

Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) solutions, today announced that KTM KTM Kauppa- ja Teollisuusministeriö (Finnish: Ministry of Trade and Industry) KTM Keretapi Tanah Melayu (Malayan Railway, Malaysia) KTM Kauppatieteiden maisteri Sportmotorcycle AG, the premium brand in the off-road sport motorcycle market and second largest European motorcycle manufacturer, is improving the evaluation of product performance and reliability through the use of Abaqus Unified Finite Element Analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. (FEA) software from SIMULIA. "With our Ready-to-Race philosophy, it is critical that our street motorcycles meet the performance expectations of our customers, without weight or quality penalties," stated D.I. Gunther Hager, R&D Teamleader Engine Structural Analysis, KTM Sportmotorcycle AG. "For the launch of our new Superbike The term Superbike is used to describe sport bikes with displacement of around 1000cc. Superbikes have have lightweight frames and are powered by high performance engines. Their design is more focused on race track performance than rider comfort. RC8, which will be available to the market in the spring of 2008, we are using Abaqus software to evaluate thermal behavior, noise and vibration, structural performance of assemblies, and stress-based fatigue. This integrated simulation process gives us a better understanding of the physical behavior of our products during the design phase." KTM Sportmotorcycle AG is using Abaqus Unified FEA software for all applications in engine and chassis development. The software is used to analyze the stiffness and flexibility of vehicle frames and engine systems, including gaskets, pistons, and headblocks. KTM is also using AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) See mobile positioning. Excite, which leverages Abaqus technology to study crankshaft dynamics that influence noise and vibration. "Our Unified FEA solutions help high-performance companies like KTM Sportmotorcycle AG develop innovative and market-winning products," stated Ken Short, vice president SIMULIA strategy and marketing, Dassault Syst[c]mes. "The use of our realistic simulation technology to evaluate the full range of physical attributes ensures that our customers get the best performing products to market on time and on budget." SIMULIA's scalable suite of Unified FEA products allows users to collaborate seamlessly, sharing simulation data and approved methods across multidisciplinary workgroups.
