One Model. One Software Suite.
Exa has proven over and again, that partnering with our customers results in better engineered products for all involved. Ten years ago, we offered only solutions for external aerodynamic simulations, but quickly learned, along with our customers, that so many simulation results depend on a multitude of factors. When companies gather simulation data from all over a model and collaborate on engineering decisions, the best products are made we know because we see our customers do it every day. Today Exa offers extensive solutions for not only aerodynamics, but thermal management and aeroacoustics as well. To have one software suite that can simulate and generate data for many applications is the key to inter-departmental, collaborative engineering simulation and design optimization.
With this common goal in mind, Exa has a mission to provide TotalANALYSIS, for our customers. Software and solutions that fit into real-world environments...seamlessly.
TotalANALYSIS Goals:
- Simulations that provide results for designers and engineers throughout all stages of the development process
- Tailored software solutions for all areas of simulation need....not retrofitted solutions
- Enhance engineering communication and collaboration of results among all departments
- Validated physics for all areas of simulation
- Further enhancement and expansion of Exa's supporting suite of products to enable faster simulation setup and maximize resources
- Offering a solid solution suite of products that address a majority of needs, eliminating the expense of multiple software packages and expensive annual licenses
TotalANALYSIS Applications for Ground Transportation
Design teams have to engineer products that consumers want (styling, comfort, fuel efficiency) before the competition, within or below regulation standards and within budget. Ground vehicles are traditionally heavily engineered by many departments, using various of software packages. Exa's goal is to continue to design software to help engineers meet their goals, using one software suite that provides insight into many engineering areas of interest. Some examples of applications below that Exa's one suite can address...
Aeroacoustics:
- Sideglass: Wall Pressure Fluctuations(WPF) on greenhouse patterns; A-pillar vortex, side mirror wakes
- Underbody: WPF on floor panels due to wheel wells & underbody flow
- Roof: WFP generated by sunroof deflectors
- Appendages: Crossbars, roof racks, antennas, wipers and others that can generate noise
Thermal Management:
- Underhood/underbody flows
- Climate control
- Heat shield analysis
- HVAC design
- Brakes & clutches
- Exhaust Systems
- Heat exchangers
Aerodynamics: (some examples)
- Lift & drag prediction
- Flow field visualization
- Soiling
- Underhood/underbody flows
- Suspension/brakes/rotating wheels
- Exhaust/intake manifolds
- Wiper/side mirror assemblies
- intake ports
- many...many more!
