New Comet Gearbox Initiative Delivering Integrated and Automated Workflow
December 1, 2016
Comet Solutions, Inc. has announced a program in support of Gearbox design and manufacturing. The Comet Gearbox solution will consist of a comprehensive suite of solution-specific SimApps designed to integrate the tools used throughout Gearbox development: CAD, FEA, Multibody Dynamics, Gear/Bearing Simulation and CFD. "These SimApps will provide an automated solution allowing manufacturers to predict and optimize performance in the areas of Acoustics/Vibration/Dynamics, Durability/Reliability, Efficiency, and Cost/Weight management," said a company spokesperson. Developed in cooperation with Advanced Drivetrain Engineering and Technology (ADET), web-deployable Comet Gearbox SimApps are currently available for Durability and Gears/Bearings.
"Traditionally, companies have expertise in various drivetrain component disciplines, such as gears, bearings, shafts and housings," said ADET President and CEO, Brian Wilson. "Balancing the component requirements into the drivetrain system integration process can be challenging. Even more concerning, as companies expand their global engineering footprint drivetrain systems, work is often performed in multiple locations, with the component expertise diluted or unavailable. Comet promotes a systems-level engineering approach by allowing engineers to run simulations that span across various disciplines without the need to have a local component or system expert supervise the analysis work. Capturing and extending expert design guides and criteria empowers the entire global organization by aligning to predetermined quality standards for drivetrain system performance. Based on my experience, this will have significant ramifications throughout the industry; and Comet is uniquely positioned to provide the automation platform to support this."
"American Axle Manufacturing and other manufacturers are reporting measurable improvements from the implementation of our drivetrain SimApp solutions," said Comet President and CEO, Dan Meyer. Earlier we announced partnerships with ADET, Romax Technology, Ltd. and Smart Manufacturing Technology (SMT). As the Comet gearbox initiative advances, we will be announcing new strategic partnerships, solution-specific gearbox simulation applications and related services."
