Support tool to improve the efficiency of brake squeal analysis
Overview
ESTECH.Squeal is a pre/post-processing tool that supports brake squeal analysis using MSC.Nastran (SOL110: complex eigenvalue analysis)
Using this software significantly reduces the time required—from automatically creating contact models on sliding surfaces to clarify the squeal generation mechanism.
Features
Pre-processing
-
Automatic creation of spring elements for equivalent stiffness between parts (supports non-uniform meshes)
-
Automatic generation of “DMIG” cards for a friction-variation matrix between sliding surfaces
-
Improved squeal analysis prediction accuracy using an extended friction model (see publications)
Post-processing
-
Squeal mechanism analysis
-
Squeal index (instability intensity)
-
Contribution plot (complex eigenmode contribution)
-
Mode coupling indicator
-
System Requirements
-
Windows 10/11
