Overview

CAE； Computer Aided Engineering

For example ...
Prior to manufacturing actual products, computer simulations are done to verify whether the designed equipment specifications clear customer requirements or not.

Benefits of CAE

• Shorter development/design periods
• Lower costs for prototyping/testing
• Better design quality
• Visualization of physical phenomena

We use CAE in more than 100 projects a year. It is helping us to build the best quality into products and please customers.

Analytical fields we handle

JTEKT Thermo Systems Corporation is versed in thermal fluid analysis, structural analysis, heat treatment analysis and induction heating analysis, but also conducts cooperative/coupled analyses that combine these fields. The ultimate objective is to simulate the entire heat treatment process from equipment configuration to estimating the heat treatment quality of products processed by that equipment.

Moreover, tests are conducted by the same personnel placed in charge of analyses in order that we can corroborate analytical results.
Ex.: Measuring flowrates, temperatures, waveforms, distortion, etc.

Examples by product category

	Thermal Fluid	Structure	Heat Treatment	Induction Heating
Industrial Heat Treatment	Rotary Drum Type Continuous Carburizing Furnace	Mesh Belt Type Sintering Furnace	Smart FLEC Carburizing Furnace	Induction hardening, Tempering furnace
