VirtualPaintShop - A Virtual Process Chain for Body in White Painting
VirtualPaintShop is a software system for simulation of most aspects of the body in white painting process. With VPS, the results of a body in white painting based on the design can be analyzed, before a physical prototype is available. Moreover, proposed modifications of the painting process can be simulated in order to improve quality and efficiency. Using computer simulation instead of costly and time-consuming trial and error methods can result in impressive cost savings.
VirtualPaintShop consists of the following modules
- VPS/DIP (Immersion) Calculation of the remaining air during the dipping process Calculation of the remaining fluid after dipping process
- VPS/EDC (Electro Deposition Coating) Calculation of the film thickness during EDC process
- VPS/DRY (Drying) Calculation of the temperature profiles during oven process
- VPS/CATIA Toolkit Creation of a CAD geometry and mesh required for DIP and EDC simulation
Other modules are available on demand, such as VPS/ESC (Electro Static Coating) or VPS/UV (Ultraviolet Curing). With VPS/ESC you are able to analyze the film thickness resulting from the process of spraying paint, with the module VPS/UV (Ultraviolet Curing) you can calculate the exposure profiles in the UV curing process.
