About the Steinbeis Transfer Center for Simulation in Mechanical Engineering
The Steinbeis Transfer Center for Simulation in Mechanical Engineering is part of the internationally active Steinbeis network and is located on the Horb campus of the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW Stuttgart). Its focus is technology transfer for small and medium-sized enterprises in mechanical engineering as well as in precision engineering and tooling technology. Its offering includes training, consulting, expert reports, applied contract and cooperative research as well as product and process development with focuses in drive and gear technology, manufacturing and tooling technology, tribology, and noise and vibration investigations. For tests and investigations, prototypes are manufactured and checked on coordinate measuring machines for manufacturing accuracy; functional tests are carried out on the center's own gearbox test rigs. In addition, in-house developed calculation and simulation software for gear and gearbox technology as well as manufacturing simulation is available.
