The client asked to check the strength of the construction of the Eanos 438W type coal wagon in terms of meeting the requirements of the PN EN 12663 2: 2010 standard and to optimize the structure in terms of strength in the event of failure to meet the criteria of immediate and operational strength together with welds.

Project description

The client asked to check the strength of the construction of the Eanos 438W type coal wagon in terms of meeting the requirements of the PN EN 12663 2: 2010 standard and to optimize the structure in terms of strength in the event of failure to meet the criteria of immediate and operational strength together with welds.

Solution

Create a complete calculation model and evaluate the structure with reinforcement proposals approved on an ongoing basis with the Employer. Together with the team of Tabor Dębica, for several weeks, the CAE team developed and strengthened the structure in order to meet the strength and technological requirements.

The result

Durable and load-resistant structure, tested by Endego engineers, will ensure safe operational durability for many years of operation.

Bus accessibility begins with the design – how have accessibility requirements changed vehicle architecture? 

Bus accessibility is not an afterthought but a set of requirements that influence the layout of the floor, suspension, and passenger compartment. A low entry height, space for a wheelchair, or the ability to lower the vehicle at a stop all stem from specific dimensional and functional requirements. That is why accessibility should be considered as early as the vehicle concept stage, rather than only during interior design.

How Rolling Stock OEMs Can Reduce Prototype Risk with CAE 

Rolling stock OEMs can reduce prototype risk by defining the validation scope early, connecting design with FEM analysis, checking critical joints and interfaces, and preparing traceable evidence before manufacturing begins. Simulation does not remove the need for physical testing. It helps make the prototype a confirmation of a mature design rather than the first place where major structural weaknesses are discovered.
