Calculations - Support

Software - Support

Calculations form an integral part of development. Their purpose is to confirm that the proposed construction design will meet the required parameters or to suggest where there is a need for change for achievement of compliance with the required parameters.

The company performs a large number of different calculations as part of the development process. The calculations can be classified as follows:

• Strength calculations:
  
  
  • Complex calculations of railway vehicles and their components based
    on European standards, UIC decrees and customer requierements,
  • Optimisation of constructions and failure analyses,
  • Assessment of constructions for fatigue of material and operation strength pursuant to valid standards,
  • Linear calculations (FEM, assessment of permanent strength),
  • Non-linear calculations (FEM - material and geometric non-linearity, contact tasks),
  • Crash calculations.
• Simulations of riding properties of railway vehicles:
  
  
  • Traffic safety,
  • Impact on the rail,
  • Stability,
  • Comfort, vibrations,
  • Safety and protection against derailement on a twisted track rail.
• Running gear design and optimisation:
  
  
  • Suspension calculations,
  • Shock absorption calculations.
    
    
• Rolling stock construction gauge calculations.
• Design and optimisation of traction systems.
• Design and optimisation of braking systems:
  • Braking calculations pursuant to UIC.
    
    
• Thermal calculations:
  • Ventilation,
  • Heating,
  • Air conditioning.
