The Challenge
Energomash Group Enterprises, one of the largest manufacturers of power equipment in Russia, faced a significant challenge in their operations. The company, which is engaged in developing and manufacturing equipment for various types of power stations and pumps, as well as operating their own gas turbine plant and developing electric and thermal energy, needed to improve their mesh generation process. The requirements for this process included the construction of qualitative mesh structures that could be adapted for the specificity of the investigated process, integration with the CAD system, and a reduction in the time required for mesh structure construction for typical problems.
About The Customer
Energomash Group Enterprises is a leading manufacturer of power equipment in Russia. The company is involved in a wide range of activities, including the development and manufacturing of equipment for various types of power stations and pumps. In addition to this, Energomash operates its own gas turbine plant and is engaged in the development of electric and thermal energy. The company is known for its commitment to innovation and quality, constantly seeking ways to improve its processes and deliver better products and services to its customers. The challenge they faced in mesh generation was a testament to their commitment to continuous improvement and their willingness to adopt new technologies to enhance their operations.
The Solution
Energomash decided to use ANSYS ICEM CFD Hexa to address their challenges. This solution allowed them to apply completely hexahedral structures, adapted in actual areas. It also provided direct interfaces with the CAD system, which improved the accuracy and efficiency of the process. Furthermore, the use of the same block structures for geometrically different but topologically close models significantly reduced the time needed to create mesh structures for typical problems. This solution was a comprehensive approach to the challenges faced by Energomash, addressing each of their requirements and providing a more efficient and effective process for mesh generation.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
