In order to reduce weight and improve fuel economy, automotive manufacturers are increasingly replacing metal parts with plastic parts that are reinforced with long glass fibers. The orientation of the glass fibers is critical to the overall performance, shape, and dimensions of the plastic parts. Thus, simulation is an invaluable tool in allowing designers to optimize their designs to maximize the benefits of using long glass fibers. Autodesk developed the industry’s first capability to predict the orientation of long fibers in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the US Department of Energy on the prestigious FreedomCAR program. Autodesk® Moldflow® 2012 software helps to more accurately predict the orientation of short and long glass fibers, which are critical to the overall performance, shape, strength, and weight of plastic parts. Accurate fiber orientations help improve the prediction of process-induced mechanical properties and subsequent shrinkage and warpage predictions. Perform amazing simulations with Autodesk® Moldflow® 2012 software.

Sorry for the audio swap (there was a bug in the original audio so I had to replace it) feel free to mute obviously. Anyway, the main thing being shown here is my model of a .45 fullsize, created using a Kimber Classic Stainless as a base. The video also shows the process carried out in making the grip safety component, which was definitely the most time consuming component outside of the frame/slide. The screen capture was sped up twice as fast to keep the video length down.

At Thogus, innovation is all about visibility. New employees are trained on identifying areas for improvement by watching a video of how the shop floor is set up or how a certain job is processed. Then they’re asked to identify: Why is this inefficient? What’s good? What’s bad? “As they see what the problem is, the ah-ha light comes on,” says Hlavin, who revamped his shop floor with employee input. To maintain that open environment after orientation, employees will be able to use an iPad at each machine to access YouTube videos of Thogus’s processes and leave comments. They can also jot ideas on the office walls, most of which Hlavin has coated in dry erase paint. That way, even if an idea isn’t acted on, it’s visible. “If you want to keep an open innovative culture, you have to see the ideas,” Hlavin says. “They may not have a great idea today, but that idea — two, three years from now — becomes pertinent.”

Autodesk® Simulation software, part of the Autodesk® solution for Digital Prototyping, provides a range of mechanical simulation tools to help designers, engineers, and analysts make decisions earlier in the engineering design process. With these tools, you can predict the real‐world performance of your product, helping to save the time and money required to build multiple physical prototypes. Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical and Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics software includes tools for static stress and linear dynamic simulations—helping you study stress, strain, displacement, shear, and axial forces resulting from structural loading—including forces, moments, pressures, gravity, and displacements. Autodesk® Simulation software also helps you determine a part’s natural frequencies and mode shapes in order to avoid frequencies that are disruptive or harmful to your design. In addition, it helps you avoid structural failure by determining the amount of load that would cause a structure to buckle—letting you review the predicted buckling shape so you can then add supports and stiffeners to your design. Autodesk® Simulation software includes support for steady-state and transient heat transfer simulations—helping to predict changes in a product’s temperature profile in order to reveal potential failure. Study linear and nonlinear thermal effects by considering …
