OptiY® is a latest technology to qualify the virtual product development process faster, better and more cost-effective.

Based on the system specifications, the product characteristics can be analyzed and improved fitting to the requirements from development, manufacturing, customer, services etc. Within, the extremely high cost for product changing during the field test, manufacturing and usage can be saved. The time from the idea to the market-ready product will be reduced considerable. A high quality and reliability of the product is assured. Brochure

Global variance-based sensitivity analysis validated (22 April 2010)

TU Darmstadt in cooperation with Fraunhofer-Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF, German leading institution for applied research, has taken measurements of the variance-based sensitivity analysis on adaptive oil pan. The results of an experimental and simulation-based sensitivities (Sobol index) are compared and validated. It is published on:

 "Comparison of an Experimental and Numeric Sensitivity Analysis of an Adaptive Oil Pan". The third DVM-Conference "Reliability of Mechatronic and Adaptive Systems", 14-15 April 2010, Darmstadt, pp. 21-30 (ISSN 1862-4685) PDF.

The sensitivity analysis is very important for reliability assessment and design of technical systems. It is used to reduce the complexity and to explain the cause-and-effect relationship. Within, dominant design parameters or environment factors can be identified. There are different meanings of local and global sensitivity. OptiY focus on the variance-based sensitivity analysis as Sobol-index, which is applicable for global and nonlinear design space.

Success Story

Stabilus GmbH uses OptiY to design gas spring. It is a complex mechatronic product modeling by different simulation systems. Within, magnetic forces, power losses and dynamic behavior of the electro-magnetic actuator are improved systematically and fast. More
