History

The engineering services company MORPHOTEC was founded in the year 1995 by Dr.-Ing. Stefan Henschen as a spin-off of the institute for mathematical modelling in material science at the technical university of Aachen. Head of the institute is Prof. Dr.-Ing. J. Betten.

The institute for mathematical modelling in material science has strong theoretical knowledge in the fields of Finite-Element-Simulation and CFD-Simulation as well as Material Modelling. Company formation objective was the use of this strong theoretical knowledge in industrial practice and furthermore the practical application of the most up-to-date theoretical knowledge in simulation.

This company objective has been fully achieved with the most successful completion of over 4500 CAE-Projects (2020) for well-known customers coming from the automotive industry, the aircraft industry, the mechanical engineering industry and other industries.

Some representative projects conducted by MORPHOTEC’s engineering team are:

Durability Analyses of combustion engines (Passenger Car, Light and Heavy Trucks) under quasi-static and dynamic loading.
Development of rubber, plastic and composite parts using finite element stress and deformation analysis (e.g. flexible clutch disk, door seals, ventilator cowl, loudspeaker housings, plastic seats, fuselages) under consideration of different material models.
FE-Simulation and stress analysis of the full vehicle body considering measured load spectra.
Crash-Simulation of partial or complete vehicles according to US EU and JP Standards.
Simulation of flow processes (Pressure lost, flow separation, near-wall heat transfer etc.) of exhaust gas systems and cooling circuits.
Topology optimization of various components within combustion engines (main bearing cap, conrod, crank case etc.) satisfying inequality and / or equality constraints (e.g. stress limits, usable material ratio and limits for deformation).

Analyses are conducted by applying software tools like NASTRAN, Open Foam, LS-Dyna and Pam Crash. In terms of pre- and postprocesing Medina, I-DEAS and others are applied.
