SMT

Smart Manufacturing Technology (‘SMT’ for short) is a globally integrated leader in mechanical transmission engineering services and CAE software development. SMT’s headquarter is located in Nottingham, the United Kingdom. Its advanced CAE software (MASTA), TE/NVH solution (MEASA), extraordinary engineering project services and unique experience transfer make it an international company serving all fields of the transmission development industry. MASTA, which developed by SMT, is an advanced CAE solution for mechanical transmission systems. It has all functions which are needed for the concept design, the detail design and the simulation for manufactures; it can solve most design challenges for EV and HEV gear boxes from the system level; it can calculate and analyze the high speed gear boxes and the excitation of motors. The motor coupling module for NVH response in MASTA can build a module with the motor, which helps design and analyze works, especially for the dynamic response caused by the excitation of motors. In addition to advanced CAE software solutions, SMT has also cooperated with a number of well-known world leading new energy auto companies, the projects are especially in the NVH, design and analysis of pure electric SUV, pure electric vehicles. SMT can accurately locate the root cause of the NVH problem of the entire transmission and drivetrain chain. In the project, SMT has capacities to fully modeling and analyzing the system, the finite element stiffness analysis and modal analysis of the differential and housing, redesign the macro geometry and micro geometry of all the gears, improved the design of the housing, and proposed a preliminary solution within short times. The noise reduction index exceeded the contractual agreement and the customers' expectations, and the improved design was successfully put into mass production.
