挑战

Plantool Oy 是北欧国家领先的生产自动化公司，其运营面临着重大挑战。该公司专注于为金属行业量身定制特种机器、标准圆锯、系统解决方案和生产线。然而，他们的机器的定制性质不允许原型。每个新订单都会带来重大风险，因为最初的创作必须是最终产品，因此需要从一开始就进行完美的设计。此外，这些特殊机器通常必须从头开始设计，需要灵活的设计和模拟过程。使用现有 3D 模型进行模拟至关重要，但该公司缺乏有效的系统来实现这一点。

关于客户

Plantool Oy 是一家总部位于芬兰的公司，在生产自动化行业拥有 30 年的经验。该公司销售和制造用于金属行业的定制专用机器、标准圆锯、系统解决方案和生产线。 Plantool Oy 位于芬兰塞伊奈约基，被公认为北欧国家领先的生产自动化公司之一。该公司的业务特点是生产定制机器，这在设计和风险管理方面提出了独特的挑战。

解决方案

为了克服这些挑战，Plantool Oy 采用了 ANSYS DesignSpace，并将其与 Autodesk Inventor 3D 设计工具集成。这使得该公司能够在设计过程的早期阶段分析机器零件和结构性能。该解决方案支持虚拟原型设计，这有助于设计更好的定制特殊机器。对大型装配体进行了分析，并对模型进行了轻微破坏，并研究了各种具有成本效益的替代方案。 ANSYS DesignSpace 与 Autodesk Inventor 的集成意味着用于分析的几何建模可以使用 Plantool 设计人员已经熟悉的程序来完成，从而无需学习新软件。

运营影响

The implementation of ANSYS DesignSpace brought about significant operational improvements for Plantool Oy. The software's easy-to-use simulation allowed designers to conceptualize, design, and validate their designs without the need for advanced analysis knowledge. This not only streamlined the design process but also enhanced the quality of the final products. The ability to analyze large assemblies with minor defeaturing of the model also improved the efficiency of the design process. Furthermore, the integration of ANSYS DesignSpace with Autodesk Inventor, a program the designers were already familiar with, eliminated the need for additional training, further enhancing operational efficiency.

数量效益
