挑战
Accuride Corporation 是全球领先的商用和乘用车零部件供应商,在产品开发过程中面临着重大挑战。创建实体六面体网格是开发卡车和客车车轮的关键步骤,是一项复杂且耗时的任务。此过程需要深入了解先进的网格划分技术和零部件质量标准。此外,该任务非常专业,以至于艾瑞德只有少数工程师可以处理,从而导致时间紧迫的项目可能出现延误。该公司还努力在部门界限之外分享这种网格划分知识,因此很难让每个人都参与到这个过程中,尤其是模拟初学者。
关于客户
艾瑞德公司是商用车和乘用车零部件供应和制造领域的全球领导者。他们的产品范围包括钢制和铝制车轮和轮端部件以及欧洲汽车和全球农业、建筑和工业设备市场的组件。 Accuride 总部位于密歇根州利沃尼亚,在北美、欧洲和亚洲设有工厂。该公司利用超过 125 年的经验和先进的工程分析方法来创建高效的设计并为客户创造价值。 Accuride 一直致力于在全公司范围内实施虚拟产品开发方法,以实现产品开发流程的民主化。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战,Accuride 与 Altair 合作开发了一种自动化解决方案,该解决方案显着减少了准备表面和元素所花费的时间,从而简化了整体开发工作。他们利用 AI 驱动的仿真解决方案 Altair® HyperWorks® 的模型构建和装配工具开发了一个流程,使工程师能够独立于有限元 (FE) 专家管理多种配置、网格变体和零件实例。 HyperWorks 解决方案通过定制的图形用户界面 (GUI),根据元素尺寸、实体网格密度等用户输入,自动创建卡车和客车车轮的六角网格。该解决方案使 Accuride 团队能够运行完整的分析并在更短的时间内提供可靠的结果。

Transformation for IoT Business Model in Connected Industrial Vehicles
CNH Industrial wanted to put IoT-enabled viechles onto the market. Whether monitoring a single machine or integrating an entire fleet, operators are able to track the status, speed, and movement of machines and their performance and also receive alerts on issues that may require service by a qualified technician to improve uptime and overall effectiveness of the vehicle.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
