Optimized Design using High Quality Assurance CAE: Example of the Automotive Transaxle Oil Seal Leakage

摘要

Technical problems where the structure of the problem is unknown are a cause for concern in the automotive manufacturing industry. One such problem is an automotive transaxle oil seal leakage problem, which the authors solved using a "problem identification - visualization experiments - logical reasoning - CAE analysis - design" process. The authors proposed optimized design using High Quality Assurance CAE as a series of processes to identify design factors and facilitate improvements in design quality, and have yielded significant results by applying the method to the oil leakage problem.
