挑战
国家复合材料中心 (NCC) 是一家英国非营利机构，其任务是使用复合材料开发先进技术演示器 Sit-ski。 Sit-ski 是一种供下肢受限人士在山坡上进行运动的设备，其设计需要能够展示中心的能力，同时还能提高滑雪者的表现。面临的挑战是了解现有坐式滑雪板的性能，建立悬架行为的运动学模型，并设计一个更轻、更高效的系统。设计过程需要考虑在架构/系统级别使用复合结构，以及产品开发过程中成本和可制造性的重要性。
关于客户
国家复合材料中心 (NCC) 是一个开放式、工业规模、最先进的非营利性英国设施，致力于先进复合材料制造的技术开发。 NCC 由布里斯托大学建立，旨在通过帮助设计和制造企业提供复合材料应用的成功解决方案来加速英国工业产出的增长。自 2011 年 8 月投入使用以来，该设施的规模扩大了一倍，成为英国主要的复合材料弹射设施，自 2009 年 11 月政府启动复合材料战略以来，在英国复合材料计划中发挥着不可或缺的作用。
解决方案
NCC 与制造技术中心 (MTC)、先进制造研究中心 (AMRC) 和华威大学 (WMG) 合作，在制造任何组件之前使用仿真驱动设计来评估性能和结构可靠性。在整个开发过程中都使用了 Altair HyperWorks™ 套件。 Altair MotionSolve™ 用于对现有卷绕式悬架系统的运动学行为进行建模，并与新的复合材料板簧和阻尼器概念进行比较。 Altair HyperStudy™ 与 Altair MotionSolve 结合使用，优化运动学行为并评估各种结构和悬架元件的位置和尺寸。 Altair OptiStruct™ 用于对弹簧和底盘元件中的层压板进行详细尺寸调整，并使用 Altair HyperMesh™ 中的变形功能来优化几何形状。 Altair Inspire™ 和 Altair Evolve™ 用于可视化整个装配并生成用于报告和演示的图像。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

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.
