Design and analysis

More than a thousand product developments have built a comprehensive design library managed on shared platforms, keeping performance high while controlling cost. Development follows a three-generation principle — produce one generation, reserve one, develop one — to sustain continuous innovation.

In-house CAE covers field-of-view analysis, electro-thermal analysis, modal analysis and light-distribution analysis, plus mold-flow and strength analysis for mirrors and steering columns. Radiator and intercooler performance is modeled with one-dimensional CFD simulation, from base data import through product data setup, calculation and result output.
