CAE Services

Automotive OEMs and Tier1s continue to meet carbon emission regulations and targets by developing lightweight hybrid and electric vehicles. As design cycles for vehicle applications are getting shorter and targets keep moving, there is not enough time or resources to determine the influence of all the potential failure modes via real world prototyping and testing. 

CAE services and light weighting to the safe limit with predictive technologies

  • Save time by understanding how to get more functionality out of a part based on our knowledge and understanding of our materials solutions’ capabilities—we advise you on how they will carry over into your designs with less prototyping.
  • Save costs by designing closer to the limit design, helping you save weight with less prototyping.
  • Lower the ecological footprint by advice on how our materials carry over into your designs, enabling you to obtain more functionality out of a part. 

As automotive OEMs and Tier1s evolve to meet carbon emission regulations and targets, they are developing lightweight hybrid and electric vehicles. As the design cycles for vehicle applications are getting shorter and targets keep moving, there is not enough time, nor resources, to determine the influence of all the potential failure modes via real world prototyping and testing.

Team up with Envalior—we are committed to supporting customers through every step of their design and manufacturing processes. Besides offering a broad portfolio of material grades for many lightweight applications, we offer predictive technologies (CAE) services in which we can run simulations and tests, offering our customers advice and support. Plus, our in-depth analyses on the alignment and position of fiber in materials will give you an additional layer of data to achieve the maximum strength and durability of the material being used in these parts.

We know our material solutions capabilities in which we can advise you on how they will carry over into your designs. Envalior can help you get more functionality out of a part, save weight, be closer to the design limit, a lower ecological footprint—all with less prototyping—giving you a competitive advantage over peers. We offer all of this expertise in order to advise, mitigate and save customers' time.

  • Downsizing & Miniaturization

    As our economy places more focus on efficiency, industry is responding by creating products that are thinner, lighter, and smaller – with the same or more functionality.

  • Cost reduction & simplification

    Plastics offer a solution that is lighter in weight than metal and rubber. In addition, plastics enable the production of parts with complex geometries, meaning its possible to convert a number of components into a single, simplified part.

  • Degradation & Stability

    One of the most challenging environments we work in is under the hood of a car. The parts used in these applications are subjected to high temperatures, broad temperature ranges and corrosive chemicals.

  • Noise, vibration & harshness

    Today’s cars are 90% quieter than cars from the 1970s, when vehicle noise first began to be legislated. OEMs are also increasingly focused on improving the driving experience.

  • Wear & Friction

    As car manufacturers seek to meet more strict legislation on tailgate emissions, a key area of focus is the reduction of wear and friction in the engine and transmission.

  • Haptics & Aesthetics

    In some consumer electronics applications, key characteristics of the plastic material are haptics and aesthetics – how they look and feel.

  • Flame retardancy

    The engineering plastics used in various electronics parts have to comply with strict flame retardancy requirements and more environmentally friendly solutions

  • Processing & shaping

    Designing an innovative part is only one step in the process. Once you have the part design and the material grade selected, and you have successfully manufactured the part in the lab, you need to roll it out for commercial production.

  • Welding & glueing

    New part designs made from engineering plastics are often able to bypass or reduce the number of secondary processing steps.

  • Painting & printing

    While many new parts designed to be manufactured from engineering plastics can bypass or reduce the number of secondary processing steps, some parts still require operations such as painting and printing.

  • Life cycle assessment

    When we talk about Imagine the Future, one of the core ideas we’re expressing is our concern for sustainability. That’s why we have integrated green design into our business.
