关于客户
Rolo Bikes 是一家由 Adam Wais 和 Anders Annerstedt 创立的公司,总部位于瑞典。创始人认为自行车行业正在变得陈旧,市场上没有任何真正令人兴奋的东西。他们发现了一系列超高性能自行车的市场空白,这些自行车是根据每个骑手的个人需求量身定制的。通过将对自行车运动的热情与在其他行业获得的独特设计和业务专业知识相结合,该团队创立了 Rolo Bikes,旨在开发性能最佳的自行车。该公司现在能够基于这项工作向自行车行业的其他公司提供咨询服务。
挑战
Rolo Bikes 是一家由 Adam Wais 和 Anders Annerstedt 创立的公司,旨在填补针对个人骑手需求定制的超高性能自行车的市场空白。我们面临的挑战是开发一种高性能、超轻量的复合材料自行车车架,该车架具有世界领先的强度和刚度属性,同时将重量保持在绝对最低限度。 Rolo 的设计团队希望优化结构,找到理想的碳纤维布局,不使用任何不必要的材料。然而,该团队缺乏准确分析和优化框架所需的内部计算机辅助工程 (CAE) 专业知识。目标是在重量、刚度和舒适度方面实现世界领先的性能,并开发高效且经济高效的虚拟测试流程来分析未来自行车车架的性能。
解决方案
Rolo Bikes 之所以选择 Altair ProductDesign,是因为 Altair ProductDesign 熟悉 HyperWorks 套件,并且在应用 CAE 技术来优化碳纤维结构方面拥有专业知识。 Altair ProductDesign 采用三步方法来优化碳纤维框架。对每层复合材料的形状、厚度、方向和位置进行微调,直到达到最佳解决方案。每个阶段均使用 HyperWorks 的结构分析求解器 OptiStruct 执行。这些阶段包括自由尺寸优化、尺寸优化和随机优化。在此过程结束时,再次利用 HyperWorks 根据 CEN 和 Zedler 测试分析和验证优化后的车架,并评估疲劳性能。由此产生的复合材料“叠层”创建了一个可用于 Rolo 欧洲制造中心采用的精细手工叠层施工工艺制造的组件,所有这些都在成本目标之内。

Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
Case Study
Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.
Case Study
Developing Smart Tools for the Airbus Factory
Manufacturing and assembly of aircraft, which involves tens of thousands of steps that must be followed by the operators, and a single mistake in the process could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix, makes the room for error very small.

Accelerate Production for Spirit AeroSystems
The manufacture and assembly of massive fuselage assemblies and other large structures generates a river of data. In fact, the bill of materials for a single fuselage alone can be millions of rows of data. In-house production processes and testing, as well as other manufacturers and customers created data flows that overwhelmed previous processes and information systems. Spirit’s customer base had grown substantially since their 2005 divestiture from Boeing, resulting in a $41 billion backlog of orders to fill. To address this backlog, meet increased customer demands and minimize additional capital investment, the company needed a way to improve throughput in the existing operational footprint. Spirit had a requirement from customers to increase fuselage production by 30%. To accomplish this goal, Spirit needed real-time information on its value chain and workflow. However, the two terabytes of data being pulled from their SAP ECC was unmanageable and overloaded their business warehouse. It had become time-consuming and difficult to pull aggregate data, disaggregate it for the needed information and then reassemble to create a report. During the 6-8 hours it took to build a report, another work shift (they run three per day) would have already taken place, thus the report content was out-of-date before it was ever delivered. As a result, supervisors often had to rely on manual efforts to provide charts, reports and analysis.
