JoiningLab

Software for the Generation of Model Parameters for the Crash Simulation of Mechanical Joints

JoiningLab is a software for the analysis of material, joint and specimen data (LWF®-KS-2 test concept) of mechanical joints under crash loads in the automotive industry and system manufacturing. JoiningLab automatically determines the model parameters for the crash simulation (finite element model).

Highlights

  • Less time-intensive and expensive real measurements
  • Time-saving data setting of FE-equivalent models
  • Automated determination of joint properties and model parameters from experimentally determined data
  • Multivariate forecasting methods for the prediction of joint properties
