Software ESTECH.Squeal

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
