关于客户
本案的客户是空客集团的全资子公司Airbus APWorks GmbH。 APWorks 代表利用重新设计、材料优化和 3D 打印三位一体来开发全新的组件和产品。该公司的目标是节省重量和成本，减少装配时间，并在零部件中集成新的和附加的功能。 APWorks 致力于仿真驱动的设计流程，提供创新、可靠的设计结果。该公司的工程师在使用 HyperWorks 套件方面拥有丰富的经验，并且信赖 Altair 产品提供的结果。
挑战
面临的挑战是使用增材制造或 3D 打印来制造轻质、高性能的产品。航空航天工业一直是该领域的先驱，汽车工业等其他行业也在效仿。目标是利用增材制造的优势，例如减轻重量和创建复杂几何形状的能力，来创造创新产品。该产品是空客 APWorks Light Rider，世界上第一款 3D 打印摩托车原型。轻骑士复杂的分支中空结构无法通过焊接或铣削等传统制造方法来实现。面临的挑战是使用拓扑优化和空中客车公司内部开发的新材料来创建这种创新设计。
解决方案
该解决方案涉及使用拓扑优化和 HyperWorks 的仿真驱动设计流程。 Light Rider 是由 APWorks 开发的一项设计研究，旨在向现有和潜在客户展示金属 3D 打印的多种机会。电动摩托车的车架设计基于受自然原理启发的结构优化。除了拓扑优化之外，空中客车公司开发的高性能铝合金材料 Scalmalloy® 也是一个成功因素。该材料不仅耐腐蚀，而且结合了铝的轻质和几乎钛的比强度。对于框架设计，APWorks 工程师使用了 Altair HyperWorks Suite 中的各种仿真工具。工程师必须克服三大挑战：根据给定边界条件创建最佳形状、从优化结果推导几何形状以及处理 3D 打印特定的制造约束。

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
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).
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.
