The software ALSIM, a simulation tool for the dynamical dip painting process, is setting new standards in the simulation for manufacturing.

ALSIM allows the simulation and optimization of the Electro Coating Process.

Customers want high quality, persistent, non corroding vehicles. Therefore expensive prototypes are cut open after the dip painting process to find unpainted areas. As the dip painting process is one of the ultimate steps in automotive industry, design errors in this step slow down the whole development process.

For the dip in process and during the dive it visualizes emerging and wandering gas bubbles and therefore recognizes uncoated areas. While dipping out of the bath, ALSIM computes the formation of puddles. These might carry over to the next bath or cause boiling vessels in the drying chamber.

With ALSIM the design can be modified early in the development process to optimize the dip painting process.
