3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation can help SOLIDWORKS designers validate designs and make informed decisions throughout the product development process, even in the earliest design stages.

一家装运箱制造商利用 SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD 和 SIMULIA 仿真解决方案来缩短设计周期、减少材料成本并提高产品性能。
需要准确回复客户关于产品载荷和性能方面的询问,而无需承担高额成本去制作物理原型,同时节省时间和资金,提高产品性能,并提供可带来收入的验证服务。
将用于基本仿真的 SOLIDWORKS Simulation 专业版分析软件和用于高级仿真的 3DEXPERIENCE Works/SIMULIA Structural Mechanics Engineer 角色添加到其现有的 SOLIDWORKS 设计方案中。
自 1976 年以来,Wilson Case, Inc. 致力于开发装运箱和保护箱,用以保护各种创新产品 (从价值数百万美元的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜的精密镜面到计算机、医疗设备、科学仪器、军事装备等)。作为 ATA-300 (I 类) 装运箱领域出色的制造商,该公司可以设计和制造可重复使用的定制装运箱,以在运输过程中为物品提供保护。凭借其行业经验、定制工程以及对质量的承诺,Wilson Case 从众多竞争对手中脱颖而出。

近年来,客户对单个箱子的性能及能力的要求越来越高。比如说:箱内物品能否在极端温度下保存?箱子的最小安全系数能否达到 2?箱子能否堆叠在一起?箱子堆叠的数量是否有限制?箱子如何保护我的这个敏感设备免受振动?如果箱子从卡车后方跌落,我的产品会受到什么影响?

有些客户希望通过仿真来推动产品开发,但这种方法往往需要进行多次仿真。例如,一个复杂的产品可能需要进行五次连续跌落测试,随后还要进行压缩测试、静态分析、频率分析和随机振动分析。借助 SOLIDWORKS 和 SIMULIA 仿真工具,我们得以成立一个部门来验证和提高产品性能,同时承担最具挑战性的复杂项目并创造额外收入。”

仿真工程师 David Daou 解释说,截至 2022 年,Wilson Case 一直在通过添加材料来加固箱子。“由于对单个箱子和载荷条件进行物理测试在经济上并不可行,因此我们的设计师在许多情况下都会尽量将箱子设计得完美,以满足客户的特定需求。这种方法不仅会延长开发周期,还会增加成本。”
为满足客户的设计要求,Wilson Case 管理层决定对包括 SOLIDWORKS®、ANSYS®、COMSOL Multiphysics® 和 Simscale® 软件在内的出色的仿真解决方案进行评估。他们于 2022 年初选择使用 SOLIDWORKS Simulation 专业版来满足客户的设计需求,除了易于使用、可与现有的 SOLIDWORKS 设计工具集成之外,还因为该软件能够在不进行文件转换的情况下执行线性应力和频率分析。
为进行跌落测试冲击、热仿真和振动仿真等更复杂的分析,该公司于 2023 年初从 3DEXPERIENCE Works 解决方案产品组合中新增了 Structural Mechanics Engineer。它提供的集成工作流程可以解决更高级的问题,同时使客户能够重用他们的 SOLIDWORKS 几何图形、载荷、约束和材料。

仿真解决方案使 Wilson Case 能够在无需过度设计产品的情况下满足客户要求。“利用 SOLIDWORKS Simulation 专业版快速高效地进行仿真对我们内部大有助益,因为获取这些见解可以缩短开发时间并优化材料使用,”Daou 强调道。他又补充说:“在客户需要验证产品性能的作业中,仿真可以取代物理原型制作。”“但是,即使在客户不需要仿真运行的项目中,向客户提供仿真结果也代表着增值,这有助于提高客户满意度。”

Wilson Case 致力于提升装运箱工程技术,帮助客户更快、更有信心地找到他们的装运箱解决方案,缘于 Wilson Case 提供的是高度工程化的自定义装运箱解决方案。Daou 解释说:“有些客户希望通过仿真来推动产品开发,但这种方法往往需要进行多次仿真。”“例如,一个复杂的产品可能需要进行五次连续跌落测试,随后还要进行压缩测试、静态分析、频率分析和随机振动分析。”
他总结道:“借助 SOLIDWORKS 和 3DEXPERIENCE Works 仿真工具,我们得以成立一个部门来验证和提高产品性能,同时承担最具挑战性的复杂项目并创造额外收入。”
Connect your SOLIDWORKS CAD to the cloud to enhance collaboration and accelerate product development

Great ideas can come from many places. Product developers must find ways to bring their best people together so they can effectively collaborate as an ongoing part of development process, but must do this without incurring the cost of bringing everyone to a single location, installing more software, or purchasing additional hardware.To make collaboration more effective in generating innovation, product developers must be able to connect and collaborate without negatively impacting development cycles. They simply need to work smarter, not harder, and collaborate more, not less.This eBook shows how two companies used tools on the Extended SOLIDWORKS Portfolio to:Boost productivity and foster innovation with cloud-based toolsTake advantage of built-in data management capabilities with zero IT overheadConnect and gather feedback in a way that doesn’t delay development cyclesSafely collaborate on designs in real time with colleagues, partners, and suppliersLeverage SOLIDWORKS design tools to connect design teams any time, from anywhere and on any deviceDownload the eBook to discover the benefits of adopting a cloud-based approach to product design.

Nearly half (44%) of manufacturers say design decisions have become more difficult. If engineering wasn’t hard enough, economic fallout from COVID-19 will likely result in more responsibility falling on engineers who have fewer resources at their disposal. Business must go on; and for engineers to complete their work effectively, they need to be empowered with powerful tools to solve problems faster. As this report details, simulation, particularly cloud-enabled analysis, is a must-have tool. Here’s what cloud simulation users are reporting: 71% more computing power/faster solver 50% frees up engineers’ computers 42% easier access to experts 42% easier collaboration 42% lowers hardware cost of ownership and maintenance
