挑战
福特的电池核心团队在与车辆开发协同工作时面临着挑战。汽车电气化工程团队需要一个非常详细的电池阵列 CAE 模型,包括设计中考虑的每个电池和各种封装配置。这个详细的模型对于使用 CAE 模拟预测电池结构的鲁棒性是必要的。然而,当数据传递给整车团队时,详细的模型可能会增长到数百万个元素,需要大大简化。详细的电池模型与整车模型的复杂性相结合,显着减慢了周期时间,并阻碍了两个团队进行优化和设计探索的能力。
关于客户
本案例研究的客户是福特的电池核心团队。该团队与车辆开发团队合作,负责创建电池阵列的详细 CAE 模型。这些模型包括设计中考虑的每个电池和各种封装配置。该团队的目标是使用 CAE 仿真来预测电池结构的稳健性。然而,在将数据传递给整车团队时,他们还需要简化这些模型,这是一个重大挑战。
解决方案
为了解决相互冲突的要求,福特的电池核心小组在 RADIOSS 中采用了切割方法(子建模选项)。在选择包含并包围电池结构的区域作为子模型后,他们进行了整车模拟。该区域还包含完整车辆模型的通用接口。使用电池的通用简化表示来模拟整车分析,这提供了快速的周转时间。将位移和力历史施加到子模型边界上,然后在先前选择的公共接口处提取历史数据。随后对更详细的电池模型的分析使用接口文件作为子模型分析产生的输入。

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).

IoT Data Analytics Case Study - Packaging Films Manufacturer
The company manufactures packaging films on made to order or configure to order basis. Every order has a different set of requirements from the product characteristics perspective and hence requires machine’s settings to be adjusted accordingly. If the film quality does not meet the required standards, the degraded quality impacts customer delivery causes customer dissatisfaction and results in lower margins. The biggest challenge was to identify the real root cause and devise a remedy for that.
