  • Patent number: 11663380
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transferring a stress state of an FE simulation result to a new FE mesh geometry of a simulated construction system, such as a component for motor vehicles that has a 3-D shape, in a simulation chain of production operations, comprising: a) providing a first data set, which describes the FE simulation result with a stress state of the FE simulation of the construction system or component of a first production operation, b) creating the new FE mesh geometry of the simulated construction system or component, which new FE mesh geometry is associated with a second production operation, c) transferring the stress state of the provided first data set to the new FE mesh geometry of the construction system or component, d) performing an equilibrium calculation by using the stress tensor in the FE mesh geometry, wherein deformation of the construction system or component results, which deformation differs from the deformation in the FE mesh by a shape alteration u>tolerance val

  • Patent number: 10870174
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a plastic-metal hybrid component, in which, in order to improve the adhesion of a metal surface, provided with a corrosion protection layer, of a base body made from metal and at least one plastic component, the corrosion protection layer of the metal surface of the base body is provided with a surface structure having undercuts. In order to avoid damage to the corrosion protection layer a filler material that binds well with the corrosion protection layer is applied on the corrosion protection layer in a specific and limited manner, in the form of successive, preferably metal elements having geometrically determined and/or geometrically indeterminate shape, via relative movement with respect to same.

  • Patent number: 10278237
    Abstract: A method for producing a heating system on a 3D plastic window, such as a car window. The heating system having an electric heat conductor structure with at least two bus bars and a grid line pattern with a plurality of grid lines. The method having: a step in which the two bus bars, made of a first electrically conductive paste are screen-printed onto the window by a displaceable squeegee; a step in which the grid line pattern is applied onto the window such that it respectively overlaps the two bus bars with at least one second electrically conductive paste which has a greater electrical resistance than the first electrically conductive paste, and a final step in which the two bus bars and the grid lines overlapping these bus bars are at the respective overlapping points electrically connected into the electric heat conductor structure by means of electrical connectors.
