The end result of this project is a electrically actuated glass fixation called the E-Push. The redesign, inspired by Topology Optimisation resulted in a weight reduction of nearly 50%. Extensive Finite Element Analysis has been executed to ensure achieving the required performance before physical testing took place.
An inloader equipped with 12 redesigned fixation sytems has been tested at a closed testtrack. The new concept design withstood the extreme loading conditions successfully. It has also received TÜV certification.
