挑战
Wagon Automotive 是一家总部位于德国的系统和模块供应商，为主要汽车制造商提供零部件，该公司面临着加快产品开发、降低原型设计成本、同时保持高质量的挑战。该公司在一个要求严格、时间敏感的市场中运营，为众多客户提供零部件，其中包括大众、奥迪、通用汽车、丰田、梅赛德斯、本田、沃尔沃、福特、捷豹和保时捷。 Wagon Automotive 的开发和生产基地位于欧洲、亚洲和北美，共有 7,600 名员工从事零部件的设计、测试和制造，这些零部件必须满足精确的生产期限。全球行业快速变化的本质要求 Wagon Automotive 工程师不断缩短产品开发周期。为了维持其强大的竞争地位并让客户满意，Wagon Automotive 正在寻找加快产品开发速度并降低不断增长的原型制作成本的方法。
关于客户
Wagon Automotive 是一家总部位于德国的系统和模块供应商，为主要汽车制造商提供零部件。该公司为大众、奥迪、通用汽车、丰田、梅赛德斯、本田、沃尔沃、福特、捷豹和保时捷等众多客户开发和制造系统和模块——门、结构件、窗户系统和其他重要部件。 。在欧洲、亚洲和北美的开发和生产基地，7,600 名 Wagon Automotive 员工正忙于设计、测试和制造组件，这些组件必须运抵装配厂以满足精确的生产期限。产品必须根据客户的需求量身定制。全球行业快速变化的本质要求 Wagon Automotive 工程师不断缩短产品开发周期。
解决方案
Wagon Automotive 在 Altair HyperWorks（一套先进的 CAE 工具）中找到了解决方案。经过对各种 CAE 软件包进行为期三个月的密集基准测试后，该公司于 2000 年获得了 50 个 HyperWorks 许可单位。如今，Wagon Automotive GmbH 的所有 CAE 流程（从建模到优化）都是使用 HyperWorks 工具完成的：HyperView、HyperStudy、HyperMesh、OptiStruct 和 HyperForm。这些先进的工具承载预处理和后处理以及模拟负载，特别是线性静力学计算、碰撞分析和结构优化。 Wagon Automotive 使用 HyperWorks 创建车门和承载模块（例如 IP 横梁）的仿真模型，以及进行振动和尺寸计算。工程师还设计了用于修复负载情况和高速条件的前后碰撞管理系统。大多数模型都很小，但它们可能会在一天内重新计算多次。

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.
