ETA Successfully Implements the ACP Process on WorldAutoSteel's ...

Troy, MI (PRWEB) June 24, 2011

WorldAutoSteel announced the success of Phase 2 of its FutureSteelVehicle (FSV) Program, a project aimed at establishing techniques to help automakers optimize steel body structures for electrified vehicles, at the 2011 Great Designs in Steel Conference on May 18th. A key enabler for results achieved by FSV was the Accelerated Concept to Product Process, developed by Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. The ACP Process™ is a seamlessly integrated product development process based on design optimization, has been developing over a number of years and was matured during the FSV Program.

“In nature, energy and its resource efficiency have a high premium that results in structures that are optimal for their created purpose,” said Jody Shaw, chairman, FSV program and director of technical marketing and product research at United States Steel Corporation. “The design optimization process used to develop structures for FSV has an energy and resource-efficiency objective that mirrors what happens in nature, creating radically different, non-intuitive architectures never before seen in automotive structures and completely optimized for the structure’s function within the total system.”

The program allowed the employment of design innovations that exploit steel’s versatility and strength. Other key achievements include a 35% reduction of mass for the BEV body structure compared to benchmark ICE vehicle, as well as a 70% reduction in total lifetime emissions compared to ICEg at no cost penalty. Also noteworthy, the design concept uses 97% High-Strength (HSS) and Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS), of which nearly 50% is over the 1000 [MPa] strength steels. Perhaps the biggest achievement was that these efficiencies were made without sacrificing performance. The resulting concept boasts 5-star safety ratings.

“We would like to thank the WorldAutoSteel Organization, American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the AutoSteel Partnership (A/SP) and the other partners for their support and efforts in carrying out the implementation of the ACP Process™ in the FSV program,” stated ETA’s CEO, Abraham Keisoglou. He continued, “This program has been an enormous success not only for the Steel industry, but for the entire product design and development community.

Are you a structural engineer in the civil engineering field and want to improve your efficiency? GRAITEC has developed a global CAD / Analysis & Design platform that allows you to verify and optimize your structures, and rapidly create all the necessary drawings, without having to re-input data. Discover the latest versions of Advance Design, Advance Concrete and Advance Steel, and make a productivity leap! Advance Concrete: Automated creation of construction and reinforcement drawings in AutoCAD?. Advance Design: Analysis & Design of Reinforced Concrete / Steel structures and automated creation of design reports. Advance Steel: Automated creation of construction and general arrangement drawings in AutoCAD?. Advance Concrete

Advance Concrete is specifically designed for engineers and structural draftsmen looking for a complete and easy to use software completely integrated into AutoCAD?. Advance Concrete automates the creation of formwork plans, reinforcement drawings, bill of materials and NC files.

100% dedicated to reinforced concrete construction Perfectly integrated into AutoCAD?, Advance Concrete significantly accelerates the initial design phase of buildings by offering detailers and engineers a library of drag and drop structural elements (slabs, beams, columns, walls, foundations), openings (doors, windows, depressions, openings, niches), bars (straight bars, point bars, frames, pin bars, stirrups), materials and standard sections.

Once the model is complete, Advance Concrete generates all construction drawings using a large selection of view production tools, dimensions, locations, symbols and automatic layout functions.

Structural Modeling All the necessary tools are provided for fast and efficient modeling. Initial creation of a precise model is important since Advance Concrete will subsequently create all structural and reinforcement drawings from this model. Advance Concrete provides all the specialized functionalities required for the creation of reinforced concrete structures:

Complete library of structural elements (slabs, beams, columns, walls, foundations) Levels management tools

Parametric Reinforcement: Advance Concrete enables assignment of parametric reinforcement attributes for each object (beam, column, openings). Reinforcement drawings are then automatically created! The user can also create custom reinforcement templates and associate them to structural elements.
