挑战
BOTTPOWER 是一家西班牙赛车运动工程公司，其任务是为其摩托车设计一款能够承受主要负载和空气动力负载的轻型支撑支架。目标是找到最佳的重量和刚度比，以减轻重量，同时确保安全措施。我们面临的挑战是快速完成这项任务，以便在西班牙最重要的 3D 打印展会 Addit3D 上展示这辆自行车。团队中的两名工程师拥有 Altair 的使用经验，因此他们选择 Altair HyperWorks™ 进行有限元分析 (FEA)、Altair Virtual Wind Tunnel (VWT) 进行计算流体动力学 (CFD) 以及 Altair Inspire™ 进行拓扑优化。
关于客户
BOTTPOWER 是一家位于巴伦西亚的西班牙赛车运动工程公司。他们专门设计和制造用于赛车和街道使用的定制摩托车。此外，他们还为其他公司设计和制造零件、系统和原型。该公司由机械工程师 David Sánchez 管理，他在机械设计和摩托车比赛方面拥有丰富的经验。目前，他已在 CEV（西班牙锦标赛）、Moto2 世界锦标赛和 WEC（世界耐力锦标赛）等锦标赛中担任数据和比赛工程师，这是他的第 14 个赛季。
解决方案
该团队首先使用 VWT 中的简单 CFD 模型来计算空气动力载荷。他们创建了一个虚拟隧道，并将挡风玻璃放置在自行车上的确切位置，以计算自行车在 300 公里/小时行驶时的空气动力载荷。使用早期的草图，他们创建了一个以最大外部体积作为设计空间的绘图。然后，他们在 Altair Inspire 的设计空间上引入了计算出的空气动力载荷，使软件能够根据需要去除尽可能多的材料，以实现最佳的重量和刚度比。工程师使用 Altair HyperMesh™ 建立 FEA 模型来研究零件的应力水平、变形和安全系数。小部件的网格划分是使用 Altair SimLab™ 完成的，它主要用于使用四面体或六面体等几何形状设计实体模型。

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.
