Bremar Automotion

Bremar Automotion Significantly improve every step of your product development cycle, creating optimised products faster and more efficiently while significantly reducing costs.

At Bremar Automotion, we are passionate, hands on engineers with over 40 years’ combined experience across a range of industries such as automotive, truck & trailer, mining, industrial equipment and motorsport. Our team has gained their knowledge and experience working at global companies such as GM Holden, Toyota, HSV, Tata Motors and John Deere and our ultimate day is using our knowledge and too

ls to achieve big savings and great design solutions for our clients. We firmly believe in the benefits Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) can provide and in the importance of making these tools accessible to businesses both big and small. Using the same high-end software as major automotive and aerospace companies, we have validated our computer modelling with extensive physical testing. We save our clients time and money by shortening their development cycle and reducing reliance on physical testing and prototypes by validating their designs “virtually” on computer using the latest CAE software. Using these methods early in the design process can dramatically improve your development cycle, product result and consumer experience. We are confident we can use our knowledge and tools to add value to your next project, so contact us now for a one-on-one discussion about your requirements.

We had a great day at the Melbourne 4x4 Show last week, catching up with clients and seeing some of the projects we’ve been involved with come together in the real world.
 
It’s always a great change of pace for the team to step away from the computer, attend an event and see the end result of the engineering work that happens behind the scenes.
 
Our top picks of the day were the Fekete Fabrications PRF-1 prerunner and Marks4WD Ranger Super Duty on portals. 
 
We also loved seeing the creativity, innovation and engineering that goes into the incredible range of builds on display.

It was a great day out and a reminder of why we love what we do.

What happens when extreme impact loads meet engineering simulation?
 
In one of our case studies, we investigated the impact of a high-velocity material load on a large industrial hopper.
 
The challenge was to understand how the structure would respond to an extreme impact and determine whether the design could withstand the resulting forces.
 
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Siemens Radioss, combined with Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), we were able to simulate the interaction between the material and the structure.
 
SPH is particularly useful for modelling materials that behave like fluids or granular materials, allowing their movement and interaction with a structure to be analysed during an impact event.
 
The simulation provided insight into:
• Impact behaviour and load transfer
• Structural stresses and deformation
• Areas requiring additional strength
• Potential design improvements

Importantly, the analysis also helped develop a simpler approximation of the impact loads that could be used for future designs, reducing the need for complex simulations every time.
 
Simulation isn’t just about understanding what happens. It’s about using that information to make better engineering decisions.

VSB14 Suspension Assessment
 
How do you know a modified suspension system can handle the loads it will experience on the road?
 
VSB14 provides guidelines for assessing suspension, steering and related components, including the loads they need to withstand and how suspension geometry should behave throughout its range of movement.
 
At Bremar Automotion, we can use a combination of FEA and Multibody Dynamics (MBD) to assess these systems virtually.

Our analysis can include:
• Bump, braking and cornering loads
• Component stresses and strength
• Full suspension and steering travel
• Camber and toe changes
• Bump steer and roll steer
• Springs, bumpstops and flexible bushes

This allows us to assess both component strength and suspension behaviour before committing to physical testing or new hardware.

Simulation also gives us the opportunity to test different design and material options, helping identify potential issues and refine a system early in the development process.
 
VSB14 compliance is about more than making sure components are strong. It is also about understanding how the suspension behaves.

Our additive manufacturing team has been keeping the printers running around the clock, producing everything from metal components to Onyx jigs and fixtures, along with food-grade dies, tooling and custom manufacturing solutions.

Every print is different, but the goal is the same: helping our clients solve problems, reduce lead times and bring ideas to life.

That's the beauty of additive manufacturing. It's not just about printing parts, it's about delivering smarter engineering solutions.

Ever wondered how you safely double the reach of a 100-tonne excavator?
 
When RK Findlay Engineering needed to extend a Komatsu excavator arm from 14m to 29m for underwater profiling work at Port Kembla’s outer harbour, they partnered with us to validate the design before it hit the field.
 
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we assessed stress, displacement and structural performance across a range of load cases, ensuring the modified boom and dipper arm were ready for the job.
 
With a solid design from RK Findlay Engineering and engineering refinements guided by FEA, the final solution met every performance target.
 
This is where Virtual Engineering delivers real value, helping reduce risk, optimise designs and build confidence before fabrication and testing even begin.

Virtual testing. Real engineering insights.
 
Before a prototype ever hits the road, we can evaluate how a vehicle will behave using Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) simulation.
 
By modelling every suspension link, steering component and tyre interaction, we’re able to:
• Predict vehicle handling characteristics
• Analyse forces throughout the suspension system
• Optimise designs before manufacturing
• Reduce costly physical testing and development time
 
At Bremar Automotion, we don’t just use these tools ourselves. As a Siemens software partner, we can also help your business access industry-leading simulation software and provide guidance on Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) applications.
 
Whether you need engineering support, software licensing or both, we’re here to help.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our industrial 3D printers producing parts in Onyx – a high-strength carbon fibre reinforced nylon designed for functional prototypes, manufacturing aids and end-use parts.
 
From one-off components to production-ready solutions, additive manufacturing allows us to produce complex parts faster, reduce lead times and keep projects moving.
 
Every layer brings another engineering solution to life.

Suspension doing what suspension does best... going up and down. 😁
 
This animation started with a 3D scan to capture the suspension hardpoints, followed by a multibody dynamics simulation in Siemens MotionSolve to analyse the kinematics. We then brought it all to life with a photo-realistic render in Inspire Studio.
From real-world data to engineering simulation and stunning visuals.

It’s important to stay hydrated…

For the past 7 months, you’ve mostly seen Brett in front of the camera sharing insights into Bremar, our projects, and the work we do.

But Bremar is much more than one person. Behind every simulation, 3D print, design, scan, test report and customer project is a small team of talented people who make it all happen. While Brett is usually happy to talk engineering, the rest of the team are a little more comfortable behind the scenes.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing the people behind Bremar, sharing their stories, their roles, and the many hats they wear in our business.

Stay tuned as we shine a light on the team that helps bring Bremar’s ideas, services and projects to life.
