Competences

Asso Werke has developed over the years a unique expertise in fluid dynamics and thermomechanics, combined with an in-depth knowledge of materials (aluminum, steel and cast iron).
The availability of a fully equipped metrology room and laboratories with sophisticated equipment for metallurgical and chemical tests guarantee the design and development of innovative products.

Vertical integration has always been one of Asso Werke's strengths: every single aspect of the supply chain is managed within the company, from Design and Engineering, to Prototyping and Testing, to Process Design and Implementation, to Manufacturing.

Engineering Software

Technical competences and experience need to be integrated with state of the art tools for design, calculation, modelling and testing, to provide in short time reliable proposals. The main software used by the Engineering Department are shown below.

MODELING SOFTWARE:

PTC Creo Parametric ®
used to create, analyze, view and share designs downstream using 2D and 3D CAD

 

 

FATIGUE AND DURABILITY ANALYSIS:

SIMULIA FE-SAFE ®
used to simulate durability and fatigue damage accumulation with finite/infinite life prediction

STATE OF THE ART SOFTWARE FOR DESIGN, CALCULATION, MODELLING AND TESTING

THERMOSTRUCTURAL SIMULATION:

SIMULIA ABAQUS UNIFIED FEA ®
used to simulate thermal and mechanical stress and strain on piston and pin with nonlinear contacts and material properties, Multibody analyses

Product performances

Continuous innovation and accurate testing guarantee products able to satisfy the most stringent requirements in all conditions, with superior characteristics such as:

  • Lightweight design
  • Excellent combustion
  • State of the art coatings and surface treatments
  • Low fuel and oil consumption
  • Minimum blowby
  • Strong reliability
