Optimisation of brake systems by the implementation of pneumatic simulation

Knorr-Bremse SfS is a system supplier for pneumatic brake systems with various kinds of applications, inchoate at metros up to high-velocity-trains or locomotives. Due to a high pressure of costs, time and quality new ways for developing and configurating pneumatic brake systems should be adopted. With a pneumatic simulation more precise predictions about characteristic values of the system like braking and release times, influence and demand for cross-section of the piping and the functional devices could be made. It supports engineers and sales managers especially in the early phases of the development process. Altogether an optimisation of the system is possible.     «
