Tire Model Building Made Easy with Coreform Cubit
2026-01-16 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Toronto)
Tire modelling: Accurate. Easy. Fast.
Join us to see it happen in real time.
Endurica and Coreform are teaming up to showcase a new, streamlined workflow for building analysis-ready tire cross section meshes in Coreform Cubit. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the Coreform Cubit Tire Cross-Section Toolbar, an open-source plugin that helps you go from 2D line geometry to a clean, solver-ready, axi-symmetric mesh with the right groupings, cut lines, and element quality controls.
Watch the tool in the Cubit workspace:

convert curves into a surface model
assign element groups (sets) for materials and regions
apply cut-lines that improve mesh structure and element quality
create the mesh (including rebar elements)
and automatically clean up poorly shaped triangles
…all before export to Abaqus or other analysis codes.

Tire geometry is notoriously complex, and a real time sink for FEA teams. This tool promises to break the bottleneck.

Integrating Simulation and Testing with Coesfeld instruments and Endurica simulation software
2026-03-20 10:00 - 11:00
Rubber compound ranking and selection has long relied on legacy lab tests that too often miss real‑world physics that are key to product performance. The result? Misinformed decisions, slower development cycles, increased risk, and costly redos.
In this webinar, you’ll discover a smarter, faster path: integrating materials testing with product simulation to measure what truly matters and predict performance with confidence. Learn how Endurica and Coesfeld have teamed up to combine targeted material characterization with realistic, physics‑based modeling to cut through uncertainty, accelerate development cycles, and consistently choose the right compounds the first time. If you’re ready to modernize your materials and product development workflows—and gain a competitive edge—this session is for you. We will review workflows featuring the following Coesfeld instruments:

ISA – Intrinsic Strength Analyser for measuring fatigue threshold and tear strength
TFA – Tear and Fatigue Analyser for measuring fatigue crack growth rate behavior
ICCA – Instrumented Cut and Chip Analyser for measuring surface damage development
HBUA – Heat Build Up Analyser for measuring viscoelasticity and self-heating
LFT – Linear Friction Tester for measuring friction during controlled sliding
