挑战
Bioana是一家致力于医疗技术设计和开发的公司,在生物医学工程领域面临着巨大的挑战。在将医疗设备植入患者体内之前,必须进行大量测试以确定其使用寿命、最佳制造材料以及必须承受的应力。例如,假肢的设计必须能够承受身体运动和重量产生的负载,而不会出现故障或明显变形。同样,血管支架需要以预定的流速提供最佳的血容量。评估这些和许多其他医疗设备的性能至关重要,而仿真是此过程中的关键工具。然而,传统的测试方法既耗时又昂贵。
关于客户
Bioana 是一家致力于医疗技术设计和开发的公司。该公司的创新源于对真实医疗需求的认识以及利用模拟软件在心脏病学、诊断和骨科领域创造新技术。 Bioana 与其他公司和机构密切合作,利用资源、机器和人员来推进墨西哥的医疗设备。该公司对创新和协作的承诺使其成为墨西哥医疗技术行业的领导者。
解决方案
Bioana 采用一套 ANSYS 软件作为其生物医学设计流程的一部分。使用ANSYS CFX软件再现动脉血流的流动条件,并分析血管植入物产生的涡度、剪切应力、血流速度和压力。该软件的建模工具和方程使 Bioana 能够定义血液特性,从而轻松创建生物材料和复合材料等新材料。静态结构模块提供了多种工具来建立适当的边界条件,以便在新假肢设计上准确再现负载。还可以构建几何形状和/或人体部位内的交互和接触,从而创建高度预测的模拟模型和结果。这种方法使 Bioana 能够同时测试多个设备,并在材料和形状方面对其进行改进,以创建优化的解决方案。

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.
