Sweden's Trelleborg Selects nCode ICE-flow GlyphWorks
 PARIS,
France, Mar 4, 2008 - nCode International, a leading developer of data
analysis software, data acquisition systems and durability solutions, today
announced that Trelleborg Automotive, a global supplier of polymer systems
for vehicle applications, has selected nCode’s ICE-flow GlyphWorks software
for its pilot study for Road Load Data (RLD) analysis. Trelleborg is using
GlyphWorks as the foundation for key development processes; embedding
Trellborg’s own standards and methodologies into the software.
Trelleborgs’s major automotive customers, such as PSA Peugeot-Citroen,
Renault-Nissan, General Motors and VAG, are continually demanding shorter
development times, but this allows less time to test components in long life
applications. Trelleborg’s goal is to establish a new process for Road Load
Data analysis across the company that helps ensure product quality and
durability, while reducing time to market.
Working with GlyphWorks, Trelleborg engineers are developing a systematic
process that:
- Compares existing road test data sets with target usage profiles;
allowing the re-use of expensively acquired data
- Allows rapid test data editing – removing non-damaging signals and
thereby speeding up rig tests
- Reduces the number of validation test required, using well defined
specification envelopes
- Compares parts designed for different applications, potentially
allowing for part carry over between applications
The GlyphWorks analysis software includes all the features requires for
fatigue analysis and fatigue editing, and is equally suitable for metallic
and non-metallic test applications with very easy to define custom damage
laws. Analysis processes are simple to develop, automate and maintain,
delivering powerful methodologies that can be deployed to engineers around
the world.
The Trelleborg technical center in France is piloting this new
development approach. The standards and tools will be deployed to the other
technical centers in the group; in Germany, the United States and Korea.
