By simulating tire behavior under stress, pressure, and road dynamics, our expert engineers optimize tire design, material selection, and overall performance.

This process reduces development costs, shortens time-to-market, and minimizes reliance on physical testing—supporting a greener approach to innovation.

With FEA, potential issues are identified and resolved early, ensuring precise solutions for more reliable, eco-friendly tires.

FEA Simulation Capabilities

Conduct simulations for static loading, inflation, and steady-state rolling dynamics.

Evaluate tire-road interaction, including stiffness, grip, and wear pattern uniformity under various conditions.

Assess heat generation due to rolling resistance, tread deformation, bead area deformation, and internal friction for high-speed or heavy-load applications.

To assess tire longevity, simulate long-term wear, predict failure modes, and identify potential failure locations.

Analyze the contribution of different components and design parameters to reduce rolling resistance, thereby improving fuel efficiency.

Examine tire behavior during braking, traction, and emergency handling scenarios.

FEA Q&A

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a simulation method engineers use to predict how a tire or other structure will perform under real-world loads and conditions.

Using FEA early in the design process helps identify and fix potential issues before production begins. This reduces the need for expensive physical prototypes, redesigns, and testing, saving both time and money.

FEA shows failure points, stresses, and deformation, helping manufacturers reduce waste, make products more durable, and create safer, sustainable tire designs.
