PTC in Automotive BOSCH use Mathcad extensively to increase speed and quality of calculations With 260, 000 employees and sales of € 44 billion, Bosch is one of the worlds leading system suppliers for the automotive industry. Products include Gasoline Systems, Diesel Systems, Chassis Systems Brakes, Chassis Systems Control, Electrical Drives, Car Multimedia and Automotive Electronics BUSINESS INITIATIVE BOSCH need to speed the development process for complex systems whilst at the same time increasing quality, and ensuring that product specifications are filled under a wide range of operating conditions PTC SOLUTION • BOSCH use ca. 1, 500 licenses of Math. CAD in many divisions including gasoline and diesel systems, chassis, automotive electronics amongst others • Math. CAD used in R&D to execute complex calculations, for example in chassis electronic control systems, with between 200 and 500 parameters • Used for tolerance, durability, temperature and worst-case calculations, amongst others, based on data parameters from the product specifications • Math. CAD used to definitively document the calculation for legal purposes and archiving • Key calculation results such as noise levels are depicted graphically RESULTS • Calculations documented in a reusable fashion, also suitable for archiving • Reuse of calculations saves development time, and ensures calculations are of high quality and are standardized • Math. CAD significantly increases the level of confidence that the designed product will meet specification under all operating conditions 3

PTC in Automotive & Industry SKF use Mathcad in bearing design & manufacture SKF is a leading global supplier of products and services in rolling bearings, seals, Mechatronic components and lubrication products. BUSINESS INITIATIVE Having identified an inefficient design process, SKF needed a far more flexible solution for determining design variants using different data sources and documenting results to ensure quality. PTC SOLUTION • SKF use Math. CAD globally for automotive and industrial product development. • Math. CAD is used heavily for calculation and documentation purposes within the Roller Bearings division. • Key use: determine critical design parameters such as dimensions, size, load carrying capacity, tolerances and material compositions. Then used to perform multiple what-if scenarios and analyses of bearings. • Results are saved centrally and posted on the web. • Math. CAD Calculation Server used to deploy pre-defined templates for reuse by manufacturing and visitors to SKF Product Catalogue. RESULTS • Math. CAD is seen as best practice solution within SKF • The revolutionary CARB® Toroidal Roller Bearing was designed entirely using Math. CAD. • SKF have used Math. CAD to efficiently design hundreds of toroidal bearing designs ranging from 50 mm to 2 M. • Complete documentation for every bearing designed. 4

PTC in Automotive Delphi have standardised on Mathcad to help drive productivity and quality With 171, 000 and global sales of € 26. 4 billion, Delphi is a world leader in mobile electronics, transportation components and systems engineering. Products include powertrain, safety & security systems, steering and in-car electronics. BUSINESS INITIATIVE DELPHI need to increase productivity, engineer communication globally and quality in the product development process whilst decreasing IT spend and speeding up regulatory compliance and reach Six Sigma goals. PTC SOLUTION • DELPHI have standardized on Math. CAD for calculation and documentation. • Replaced Excel, Word and Power. Point. • For example, Math. CAD is used in electromechanical actuator design to determine factors that influence actuator performance. • Used to capture all of the complex equations and parameters such as temperature peaks, fall times, linear dynamic inductance and to visualize results RESULTS • • • 5 Math. CAD is a best practice 4 -7 time improvements in calculation and documentation Standardizing has lead to improved to global communication and re-use Math. CAD has significantly raised the quality Aided Delphi in their Six Sigma goals ‘to reduce waste and add value’

PTC in Automotive ZF use Mathcad to drive product development and analysis ZF is a leading supplier of chassis and driveline technology systems to the automotive and transportation industry. Products include axles, gears, steering, powertrain, suspension and automotive test equipment. BUSINESS INITIATIVE ZF strive to increase design integrity and productivity. PTC SOLUTION • ZF have around 200 engineers using for Math. CAD within Advanced Engineering, Concept Development, R&D, Mechanical and Electrical Design, Quality and Testing. • For example, Math. CAD is used in central R&D for concept development, design layout and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies. • Math. CAD is used for pressure and dynamic-related calculations and analysis using input parameters such as CAD data, engine handbooks and test data. • In automotive test equipment, Math. CAD is used in design as an accompaniment to CAD/FEA tools for design layout, dynamics and for strength analysis of machine components and parts. RESULTS • Math. CAD is an important solution for simplifying design calculation, analysis and documentation. • Improved efficiency in ‘what if’ analysis of different design variants • Increased re-use and provides a safe-revision of calculation methods • Math. CAD has increased design productivity and quality in all-related projects 6

PTC in Automotive Getrag use Mathcad to drive product development Getrag is an automotive systems supplier and integration partner with primary focus on transmission and drivetrain components. BUSINESS INITIATIVE Getrag need to speed up the development and analysis process, improve communication and quality. PTC SOLUTION • Getrag use Math. CAD for calculation, analysis and documentation within R & D, Advanced Engineering, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering. • Main area of use is in R&D for conceptual design, design verification, model behavior, component design and performance analysis • Parameters are sourced from CAD/FEA and other calculation data and passed to Mathcad for result verification, extensive graphical analysis and documentation. • This is then saved into their documentation management system for re-use. RESULTS • Getrag have found an easier means to calculate, analyze and document results. The analysis process has been significantly speeded-up. • Adoption has lead to improved communication between engineers and raised product quality through clearer documentation. 7

Reference Statements “As Britain’s largest defence contractor, we need the best tools available such as Mathcad for our engineers. Anything less would be unacceptable. — Mark Conlin, Analysis Development Group Leader “I depend on Mathcad to be my tool for everything I do during the design process, from planning and executing our technical calculations to reporting… We conduct all team calculation work and reporting with Mathcad. It makes the process so streamlined that I can't imagine work without it. ” — Michael Ekholm “Mathcad provides me a standardized way to communicate. We have manufacturing in Mexico & key vendors in China. We're doing a field trial in Korea. We need to be able to share documents that all these people will understand. The one Language that's universal is mathematics. " — Mark Beigert 8

Reference Statements “No sane person would happily manipulate equations that are 10 pages wide. Mathcad allows us to develop concepts and do explorations that would be too painful to otherwise consider. ” — Tom Kotowski, VP Electronics Engineering “Mathcad wird bei uns schon seit vielen Jahren eingesetzt. Zum Einsatz gehören u. a. dynamische Simulationsberechnungen von Schiffen aber auch Nachweisberechnungen für Schiffs Klassifikationsgesellschaften” — Claus Brinckmann, Research & Development Ship Stabilisation “Mathcad is our global calculation solution for electronic design verification ” —Research & Development Engineer – Valeo Wischersysteme 9
