关于客户
联合利华是一家拥有 120 多年开发消费品经验的公司，是世界上最知名的公司之一。该公司的目标是通过帮助人们感觉良好、看起来漂亮并享受更多生活的品牌来满足人们对营养、卫生和个人护理的日常需求。如今，联合利华生产 400 多个专注于健康和福祉的品牌，从食品到肥皂和其他家庭护理产品。联合利华的全球包装设计集团位于康涅狄格州特朗布尔，为 Dove、Suave、Caress、Axe、Degree、Ponds、Lux 等品牌以及其他护发、皮肤和除臭剂产品开发硬塑料容器。该团队与外部设计机构合作开发封装概念，然后将这些想法引入 3D 建模环境，以确保能够制造初始设计。
挑战
联合利华的全球包装设计团队面临着在设计过程早期识别潜在包装问题的挑战。制造开始后发现问题可能会导致代价高昂的影响，有时需要对生产过程中使用的工具进行修改。这使得设计过程非常耗时，因为设计人员必须考虑各种可能的问题。该小组使用模拟来验证潜在的设计并确保它们可以生产。然而，考虑了外包模拟工作，这平均需要两个月的时间来开发和进行适当的测试。
解决方案
Unilever 采用 Altair HyperWorks 计算机辅助工程工具套件来减少仿真所需的时间并显着降低成本。 HyperWorks 使联合利华能够自动化网格划分过程以及载荷和边界约束的设置。设计人员可以输入基于 CAD 的模型，然后只需选择一组准备好的参数即可。 Unilever 还使用其他 HyperWorks 工具，包括 RADIOSS 求解器、HyperStudy 和 OptiStruct 进行拓扑和形貌优化。这些工具帮助联合利华确保新设计比它们所取代的设计使用更少的材料并且更加优化，而不会影响其结构。

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.
