SIMSYSTEMS

BUILD IT TO LAST - SIMULATE FIRST

Designing a robust, durable and efficient hydraulic hose system for heavy equipment or demanding industrial
environments is a challenge. Simply put, there are just too many variables and unknowns at play.
The traditional trial-and-error process to test a hydraulic system before deploying it in the field
is both a time- and cost-consuming endeavor.

Not anymore.

HydraSpecma SimSystems will get your hose routing optimised from day one.

THIS IS HOW YOU SIMULATE FIRST

Together we discuss the hydraulic hose system and set objectives, scope and parameters
for the project.

You provide design specifications, models and choice of components in
the hydraulic hose system.

We measure the mechanical characteristics of your components in our test lab.

Using your component characteristics and specifications we simulate your system.

We provide you with a report and recommendations for optimisation.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SIMSYSTEMS?

Any OEMs using hydraulic/fluid/air conveyance products will benefit from our comprehensive hydraulic hose simulating system. Especially OEMs that have:

a need of world class R&D support and prototyping.
a need of optimising life span of their hydraulic hose system.
a need of increasing pressure rates for higher efficiency.
increasing internal fluid and ambient temperatures.
a need for more compact routing solutions.
leakage problems in their current product program.

HYDRASPECMA TEST CENTRE

HydraSpecma Test Centre; where our experienced engineers test component characteristics through
our advanced testing equipment, mathematical calculations and analysis. The testing equipment is designed and created for the soul purpose to measure bending stiffness and torsional stiffness in flexible segments.
That means SimSystems can offer you exclusive know-how information about your own hose system
which you did not know before.

Through testing we expand and increase our knowledge of hose segment behavior.
For example, the characteristic difference between pressurised and non-pressurised hose segment,
and what type of forces emerges in motion trajectories.

HydraSpecma Test Centre offers a wide range of testing:

Pressure testing: ISO 1402
Flex impulse testing: ISO 8032
Impulse testing: ISO 6803
Corrosion testing: ISO 9227

Through close co-operation with external laboratories we can also offer advanced testing e.g. cold testing.
Having this knowledge in-house enables us to evaluate and develop components and deliver to our customers high expectations.

ABOUT SIMSYSTEMS

SimSystems; where experienced simulation engineers use component, characteristics measured by our test centre, to perform accurate simulations of the hydraulic hose systems.
This simulation will evaluate if current/proposed installation is shortening lifespan of the hose system.

After a simulation there is a lot of important information to act upon e.g. how much space
the hose needs during motion, what’s the best angular relationship between two angled couplings and what’s the optimal hose length.

All this information is summarised into a technical report containing graphs, illustrations
and recommendation for possible optimisations to be done. We give further technical guidance
to guarantee a scenario where our customer maximizes their advantage with the information gathered.

The first simulation concludes that changes are necessary to maximize hose system life length. We work together on a possible solution and test out different ideas that you want to test.
When we find the best solution for the hose routing, we simulate and optimize it fully with hoses, couplings, pressure and generate a final technical report.

ADVANTAGES BY PERFORMING SIMULATION:

Shorter time-to-market
Test of several ideas before prototyping
Reduced cost for prototyping
Increased environmental responsibility
Increased customer goodwill

EXTENDED ADVANTAGES:

Geometrical space needed for hose to move safely
(Exported as geometry to be implemented in your model)
Relative coupling construction angle
Optimal type of coupling
Hose routing in 3-D with minimised risk of twisting the hose
Optimal hose length for specific application
Mapping of occurring minimum bending radius over motion path

ALL THESE ADVANTAGES

These advantages will guide and assist you, in ensuring that your application performs at its best,
with maximum hose system life length.

We at HydraSpecma SimSystems have listened and attended to our customers’ needs.
Our collaborative way of working leaves our customers with enhanced knowledge about their own hose system.
