Accelerated Simulation Performance Through High Performance Computing For Advanced Sealing Applications

The automotive and heavy-duty industries are heavy users of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) for development, design and performance optimization of their products. As a technology driven company, the Sealing Products Group of Dana Holding Corporation utilizes this technology extensively, especially for metal Cylinder Head Gaskets (CHG) and exhaust gaskets, so called Multi-Layer-Steel (MLS) gaskets. Due to the widespread involvement of complex contact interactions in high fidelity sealing system analysis, high performance computing is essential to accelerating the design process, thus meeting aggressive time and cost to market requirements.
