挑战
达尔豪西大学是加拿大新斯科舍省的一所公立研究密集型机构，在保持其机械工程课程符合行业需求方面面临着挑战。这所非常注重研究和实际设计工作的大学收到了业界的反馈，称学生缺乏有限元分析 (FEA) 等基本工具的知识。虽然FEA被纳入课程中，但它只是最后一年的选修课，由少数学生选修，并在所有工作学期后完成。该大学认识到需要在早期阶段让每个机械工程专业的学生了解有限元分析的基础知识。此外，该大学需要确定最先进的工程工具，并为其在大型项目中的实施提供支持，同时管理预算限制。
关于客户
达尔豪西大学（Dalhousie University），俗称“Dal”，是一所位于加拿大新斯科舍省的公立研究密集型机构。它成立于1818年，是加拿大最古老的大学之一，被认为是加拿大顶尖大学之一。达尔在哈利法克斯的三个校区和圣经山的一个校区提供 180 多个国际认可的学位课程。该大学非常注重研究和实际设计工作，特别是在机械工程系。该系由 Darrel Doman 博士领导，拥有约 300 名本科生、60 名研究生和 17 名教授，计划年内增加到 22 名。达尔的机械工程课程以其以设计为中心的课程重点而闻名，机器设计类型的课程比全国平均水平要多。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，达尔豪斯大学决定将关键行业工具 HyperWorks 整合到其机械工程课程中。这一决定是由于需要从零成本的学生版解决方案转向行业使用的下一代软件工具。选择 HyperWorks 是因为它与行业的相关性以及部门对其的熟悉程度。现在，在该课程的第三年，每年有 120 名学生每周至少使用 HyperWorks 3 小时，作为他们现实世界设计作业的组成部分。这为每个学生提供了 50-60 小时的实践使用时间，许多学生在最后一年继续使用 HyperWorks 来完成他们的顶点设计项目。课程教学法也进行了更新，重点关注使用 FEA 的实际方面，教授学生最佳实践以及如何解释结果以改进他们的设计。

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.
