Numerical simulation of the metro route

Digital simulation

From the development of the test strategy to the final qualification phase of an equipment or system, Sopemea offers its expertise in test engineering supplemented by digital simulation in various industrial sectors.


Numerical simulation enables us to anticipate and verify the performance of equipment or systems exposed to mechanical, climatic or electromagnetic stresses.

Mechanical simulations are used to characterise the components of transport systems, particularly composite materials, before the testing phase.


Tooling design and validation:


Using numerical simulations, Sopemea's design office designs, validates and operates the tooling that is the interface (support) between your equipment and our test facilities. This step, carried out before the tests, is intended to optimise the neutrality of the tooling in relation to the seismic, vibration or shock test programme.


Measurements vs. calculations:

Sopemea performs the modal correlation between the numerical modes and the measured modes (MAC calculation)
Our services can also recalibrate numerical models from measured modes (Pseudo inverse method, Bayesian method).


Solutions provided by numerical simulation :


  • Modal analysis of equipment
  • Calculation of the mechanical strength of equipment subjected to a static, shock, vibration or white noise test programme.
  • Endurance calculation with the Eurocodes
  • Calculation of the earthquake resistance of equipment with the RCC M

 

Synthesising and comparing response spectra:

  • Calculation of transferred spectra by synthesising an accelerogram and calculating the response spectrum
  • Comparison in severity of response spectra
