Micro Abstract:
HILTI is the world market leader in fastening and demolition technology for construction professionals. We offer a highly differentiated product portfolio of over 70'000 different items to our customers in more than 120 countries. Efficient development at HILTI is based on consequent integration of existing and development of progressive simulation methodology. The particular challenge in this is to deal with various physical domains like powder or gas combustion in direct fastening tools, concrete interaction of anchoring products, battery behavior for power tools or the dispensing of high viscous mortars – many of them on the edge or beyond what standard commercial solvers are able to answer. In the lecture some representative examples from industry will be shown to illustrate possible simulation solutions with commercial/ in-house code or adapted open source software packages.
