FATXML Durchgängigkeit von Daten im CAE Prozess CAD->Pre(HM)->Solver(OS/Radioss)->Post(HV) Allows Suppliers to better integrate into OEMs processes. Part Names, Part Revision, Creator, Date, Material Name, is kept through the whole process. No loss of information when leaving OEMs PLM environment FATXML is a Standard -> Tool independent. Suppliers can choose their own (only one maybe HM) toolset. FATXML Durchgängigkeit von Daten im CAE Prozess 14

Consolidate Information and Create Design Concept Post Calculation Normal Modes Stiffness Crash (e.g roof load > 20 to. instead of required 15 to.) Durability Weight: Required Mass Reduction Fulfilled Winners of the EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM AWARD 2010 Company: Farsund Aluminium Casting / Porsche Country: Norway / Germany Product Name: Porsche Panamera Rear Subframe Category Industrial Products Automotive & Transport Light-weight car subframe for safety functional application with high requirements in strength and stiffness. Cast as one piece in hollow design using only one sand core. With a size of 1200 by 710 by 335 mm and wall thickness down to 3,5 mm it expands the dimensions of usual aluminium castings for chassis application. The concept substitutes usual multi-part solutions and allows a high degree of functional integration. The true value of the Porsche Panamera rear subframe is that is has expanded the boundaries of what is possible in both casting and automotive design. As an alternative to the traditional welded steel sheet design concept, this ultra light weight hollow core aluminium casting is an all round winner. Its weight of 16 kg has a significantly positive impact on the environment with saving of at least 4 kg per car compared to steel. The one-piece concept with a high degree of functional integration also means less efforts during axle assembly as well as the reduction of investments. From the Jury To produce a complex thin-walled shape with no defects requires a fully controlled casting process including feeding and thermal control. 24
