FEATURE SPRINGS & SHOCK ABSORBERS INDUSTRIAL SHOCK ABSORBERS AS DIGITAL TWINS
ACE Stoßdämpfer now offers Functional Mockup Units (FMUs), offering the possibility to integrate physical models of industrial shock absorbers into the customer’s own simulation models
“The advantage is
twins for easier integration into virtual models. According to the company, it is the first supplier of industrial shock absorbers to provide customers with Functional Mockup Units (FMUs). This, the company explains, offers the possibility to integrate physical models of a supplier product – in this case industrial shock absorbers – into the customer’s own simulation models. The advantage is particularly evident with

customised industrial dampers, as ACE is able to quickly provide prototypes as digital twins.
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING Upon request, ACE can also extract data for all standard industrial shock absorbers from its product catalogue and provide this to customers.
n addition to sizing software, as well as CAD data and simulations, ACE Stoßdämpfer is now offering engineers data from digital

The FMUs are equipped with the physical behaviour of hydraulics, thermals and mechanics of ACE’s industrial shock absorbers. This makes it possible, for example, to calculate the exact influence of the input temperature on the damping behaviour of the industrial

shock absorber and to examine its effect on the overall design in advance. These, and other properties, make ACE’s
digital twins an essential component for virtual prototyping and for dimensioning construction designs on the customer side. In addition to time and cost savings, there are also sustainability benefits of this approach, as fewer physical samples are needed to complete the development of a construction. If customers want to use ACE’s FMUs, they need simulation software that includes an FMI (Functional Mockup Interface). Common programs that integrate ACE’s FMUs include Simulink and Adams.
