Engineering Goals
Performance and reliability: Night vision cameras must function in varied lighting across residential, automotive, and military settings.
Safe design: Ensuring the system's efficiency by predicting potential weak points in the design.
This allows for proactive design modifications to prevent case failures during operation and ensure the quality of the camera
Image quality: Optimizing optical performance by simulating infrared transmission through lenses for clear low-light imaging.
Solution
Multi-physics Simulation: Modeling the interactions between different physical phenomena within the camera system with coupled Ansys solutions:
Structural analysis to assess the camera's response to vibrations and shocks.
Thermal analysis to simulate heat transfer and temperature distribution.
Optical simulation to analyze image formation and performance.
Coupled simulations (e.g., thermo-mechanical) allow us understand how temperature and other factors affect the entire design.
Operational Dynamics: Simulating camera behavior with moving parts and environmental factors in real conditions.
Benefits
Enhanced Design: Design improvements that lead to better system performance, higher image quality, and increased reliability.
