Automotive

ONATUS is an engineering office of which origins are based on the automotive industry and developing solutions for mainly defense and material manufacturers in parallel with the needs of industry. With increasing competitive pressure in the automotive sector and the ever-decreasing tolerances and renewed regulations, the experimental and test studies in the field are replaced by a methodology based on the digitalization of products and processes in the direction of zero error principle and the prediction of possible errors before the related processes realized. In this context, ONATUS carries out digital test & simulation based software integration and project based engineering studies directly to vehicle systems manufacturers in Turkish automotive sector and in continental Europe and USA.

Sheet Metal Process and Mold Design

ONATUS is Turkey’s leading engineering office that makes a difference with its experience-based competencies in AutoForm, Pam- Stamp, Catia and IcemSurf package software in the fields of metal forming simulations, sheet metal mold and process design, A Class Surface Modeling, Springback Compensation Calculations.

It has undertaken more than 100 projects to date with companies such as Ford, Fiyat, Magna, Çoşkunöz and TOGG.

Forge NxT

Today, competition is not in the end product, but in the design and development processes leading to the end product. In this context, it is an inevitable necessity for the automotive industry to continuously innovate and realize projects in this field in order to reduce product weight, fuel consumption and improve product performance. In hot-cold forming processes, Forge NxT software simulates 32 different production processes such as forging, extrusion, rolling, heat treatment, super plastic forming, machining under a single roof and offers significant convenience to R&D and P&D engineers working in the automotive industry in planned improvement projects. With its 30 years of background, Forge NxT has been integrated into the R&D activities of many main industry companies. Production simulations of connecting rods, crankshafts, camshafts, drive shafts, steering knuckles, suspension arms and dozens of different vehicle components can be realized with Forge NxT.

Visualweld

In automotive applications, welded assembly is used as the main production method, in this context, Onatus Prediction Technologies, reducing correction labor costs by simulating possible welding-based distortions in computer environment, creating the necessary resource plans for robot planning in the transition processes from manual welding workmanship to robotic lines, It establishes software infrastructures, provides project-based engineering services and organizes consultancy activities for the Turkish automotive sector with Visualweld numerical modeling software, establishes software infrastructures, provides project-based engineering services and organizes consultancy activities for the Turkish automotive sector with Visualweld numerical modeling software in order to determine the mechanical properties of the relevant parts after heat treatment by performing heat treatment simulations on parts subjected to preheating or direct heat treatment, determining residual stresses in welding-based processes and improving fatigue and residual stress-induced out-of-service conditions of parts.

Thermo-Calc

Thermo-Calc is the most widely used computational materials engineering solution used in automotive industry projects, especially in process-based material development applications to create phase diagrams, increase the corrosion resistance of parts and materials, and analyze coating-based problems through numerical models.

VA One

VA One is the most comprehensive numerical modeling software preferred in the automotive industry for the development of vehicle acoustic performance by creating vehicle acoustic cabin models using different modeling techniques such as FEA; SEA; BEM; FMM… in the range of 0-40,000 Hz, i.e. in the entire frequency band. Dozens of vehicle systems manufacturers such as Tofaş-Fiat, Anadolu Isuzu, Ford Otosan, Renault…known in our country use VA One software to solve their acoustic-based problems. Onatus Foresight Technologies makes significant contributions to the automotive industry in our country by extracting the acoustic properties of porous materials in the acoustic modeling laboratory in GOSB Teknopark and simultaneously integrating them into numerical modeling software. Today, acoustics is used not only in terms of performance, but also as a sales and marketing tool. The emergence of new areas such as “…have you ever heard such a door sound?..” or “…the world’s quietest working air conditioning system…” in the visual media brings the importance of acoustic projects in the automotive industry to the top.

VPS

With Digital Performance Software VPS, you can perform integrated simulations in a single software environment in dozens of different areas from structural analysis, finite element analysis, acoustic analysis, crash and strength analysis in a multi-physics environment. VPS is frequently used in many main and sub-industry companies in the automotive industry, especially Volkswagen and Renault. With water flow simulation in VPS, you can do all the necessary work to prevent all water-based problems in electric and autonomous vehicles before they occur. In a similar framework, you can also identify leakage risk zones and implement improvement activities.

VSS

ESI Virtual Seat Solution (VSS) seat design software is a software solution dedicated to virtual prototyping of seats. With VSS, OEMs and seat suppliers can design, manufacture, test, develop and validate virtually any design process, seat prototypes, without the need for costly physical prototypes.

In a standard design process, real prototypes are built, test runs are conducted, refined and iteratively tested. This time period is often the step where problems and areas to be addressed are discovered, but this happens at the end of the development cycle. At this point, it may be too late or too expensive to change your sofa design.

However, thanks to the Virtual Seat Solution seat manufacturing simulation, you can test the performance of your seat before the design is frozen and anticipate any production issues. This allows for more innovation and refinement early in the development cycle. You can evaluate all performance domains (safety, H-Point prediction, static and dynamic comfort, thermal comfort, etc.) using a single core model. This allows seat designers, seat engineers and seat specialists to work simultaneously and efficiently. Using a single model, you can quickly evaluate trade-offs between different design options to develop your virtual prototype.

In addition, the Virtual Seat Solution provides a highly accurate prediction of seat performance as it takes into account the effects of production. Thanks to specialized applications and human models, users can evaluate performance by accurately reflecting the interaction between seat and passengers.

A Class Surface Modelling

A Class surface modelling” is among the engineering fields where ONATUS makes a difference. ONATUS provides project and training services to major industrial corporations such as Tofaş-Fiat, Ford Otosan, Temsa-Global and Hexagon-Studio on A Class surface modelling technique. Also, Onatus is incorporates Turkey’s most competent and experienced personnel in this area.

With our CAD Surface Modeling software, it is possible to create a model from scratch on A-class surfaces and distort it quickly and flexibly while preserving the A-Class feature. With the software, existing geometry can be deformed and updated, and the effects of these changes can be quickly visualized.
