Simulating and minimizing stresses
In order to integrate electrical conductivity into parts serving as housings, conducting paths are inserted into injection moulds and encapsulated by a plastic material. With a new computing procedure, it is possible to compute loads and deformations of the conducting paths. A simulation permits the study and evaluation of measures for the elimination of mechanical failure quickly and efficiently.
