On April 7, 2022, we were happy to have Benjamin Abert from the FVA present at the 5th Wind & Drivetrain Conference 2022.
Benjamin Abert is currently Head of Consulting and Service at FVA GmbH. In this role, Benjamin supports customers in using the FVA Workbench, prioritizes customer requirements, and passes the requirements on to software development for implementation.
Benjamin started his career at FVA GmbH as a Calculation Engineer for plain and rolling bearings with a Master of Science degree from the Technical University of Clausthal. Academically, Benjamin worked on the simulation of hydrodynamic contacts.
In his presentation, he talked about REXS — The Standardized Interface for the Simple Exchange of Gearbox Data
Abstract:
Many modern transmission development tasks are digitized using simulation tools, which leads to building models in various tools across many development stages. These models all have in common that they operate with the same data, such as the number of teeth, center distance, etc.
The individual simulations' optimization must also be considered in the other simulation models, resulting in an enormous effort to synchronize model data. The time spent on data transfer increases with the number of tools used and risks data transfer errors or running simulations with outdated data.
The Reusable Engineering EXchange Standard (REXS), a parametric data model that enables all involved tools to export and read transmission model data, offers a solution to this problem. Eliminating the model structure of the individual tools prevents mistakes during data transfer and simplifies model management.
REXS is developed and maintained by the Research Association for Drive Technology under an open-source license.
