关于客户
Prodrive 是世界上最大、最成功的赛车运动和技术企业之一,拥有超过 29 年为阿斯顿·马丁、宝马和 MINI 等一些知名运动品牌举办比赛和拉力项目的经验。 Prodrive 自 2004 年起一直负责阿斯顿·马丁赛车计划,处理该计划的各个方面,从 GT 赛车系列的设计和开发,到管理世界各地跑车系列赛的工厂团队。该公司以致力于优化赛车的重量、性能、可靠性和效率而闻名,这一过程涉及多项工程任务。
挑战
Prodrive 是一家领先的赛车运动和技术企业,面临着在压缩的时间内优化赛车发动机性能的挑战。主要目标是分析和改善阿斯顿·马丁赛车发动机水套内的流体流动,并快速获得可靠的结果。由于需要解决具有复杂几何形状的模型的多次迭代,该任务变得很复杂,并且这项工作是由相对缺乏经验的用户完成的。由于发动机盖和气缸体内部铸件的空腔,模型的复杂性和细节水平增加了挑战。此外,Prodrive 的仿真能力受到计算机硬件的限制,因此需要一种能够在不增加许可成本的情况下最大化处理能力的解决方案。
解决方案
Prodrive 采用了 AcuSolve,这是一款领先的通用计算流体动力学 (CFD) 流动求解器,以其稳健性、速度和准确性而闻名。使用 AcuSolve 生成了一个自动化流程,可以轻松实现重复性并简化新几何形状的分析。这使得 CAE 工程师能够为发动机开发小组生成报告以进行分析和结果解释。此过程中的第一个模型是 V8 发动机水套。经过快速的消除过程后,模拟可以在几分钟内加载到求解器上。 Altair 的令牌许可系统在最大化 Prodrive 处理能力方面发挥了至关重要的作用,使 CAE 工程师能够根据需要充分利用 Hyperworks 软件套件,而无需处理增加的许可成本。 Prodrive 还计划通过充分利用 Altair Hyperworks Suite 中的其他功能(例如共轭传热分析和进一步的后处理自动化)来增强模型。

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

IoT Data Analytics Case Study - Packaging Films Manufacturer
The company manufactures packaging films on made to order or configure to order basis. Every order has a different set of requirements from the product characteristics perspective and hence requires machine’s settings to be adjusted accordingly. If the film quality does not meet the required standards, the degraded quality impacts customer delivery causes customer dissatisfaction and results in lower margins. The biggest challenge was to identify the real root cause and devise a remedy for that.
