OLEO 2DOleo 2D is a multi-body dynamic simulation software in which detailed threedimensional models of vehicles are created, including geometric details of keycomponents, suspension characteristics and energy management elements such ascouplers, buffers, anti-climbers and crush zones. Oleo’s 2D Rail can create models,including vehicle misalignment, to simulate the vertical movement to analyse vehicleoverriding tendencies, this analysis of vertical movement gives us the seconddimension to our simulation results that cannot be achieved in Oleo 1D, but thiscomes at a cost of increased complexity, and of course it’s not web based.
TESTING & SIMULATION
Oleo Test TowerTo test our elevator buffers webuilt a 33 metre tall testing towerat our head quarters in Coventry.Visible for miles around it is thetallest such facility in the world
Oleo 2D has been developed as proprietary plug in modules for Adams, a wellestablished platform for Multi Body Dynamics (MBD) simulation for rail applications.Research is currently on-going to bring 3D modelling to our web based solutions.
Oleo has a long history of testing and simulating the performance of its gas hydraulicunits for rail and industrial applications and has been involved in the testing of fullsize buffers and hydraulic energy absorbers for over forty years. A full size indoorimpact rig called the “Titan Rig”, designed and built by Oleo at our factory inCoventry, is used to assist in validating the mathematical models we use in oursimulation products. Two 30 tonne vehicles fitted with energy absorption devicesimpact at up to 20km/h. Typically impact velocity, impact force and energy absorberdisplacement are measured and the data is captured using high speed dataacquisition equipment. In addition Oleo has endurance rigs to test the longevity ofunits and sub-systems, an environmental chamber for testing buffers at temperaturesdown to -60 degrees C and an accelerated corrosion testing facility.
The benefits of working with Oleo

THE FUTURE AND YOU
Oleo is seeking a graduate software engineer with an inquisitive mind and attention to detail. Someone who can balance therequirements of working in a research focus company with the discipline required from a professional software developer.This is an opportunity for a graduate engineer to gain invaluable experience and have an opportunity to increase their skillswhilst at the same time helping us build innovate web apps. We will provide an experienced mentor and full support has thegraduate gradually develops and takes on more responsibility for their own projects.
