关于客户
Elisava 赛车队于 2018 年在巴塞罗那 ELISAVA 设计与工程学院成立。该团队由应届毕业生组成，他们接受了设计和开发电动摩托车的挑战，以参加巴塞罗那智能摩托车挑战赛，这是一项每年在加泰罗尼亚举行的国际比赛。比赛的重点是可持续出行，来自世界各地的大学团队使用自行设计的电动摩托车参加越野赛。该团队通过使用 Altair 解决方案优化其摩托车的多个结构部件，取得了出色的比赛成绩。2019 年，该团队凭借电动摩托车“ERAY”赢得了五个奖项，并在 2020 年凭借摩托车“Dayna”继续取得成功。
挑战
Elisava Racing Team 是 ELISAVA 巴塞罗那设计与工程学院最后一年学生的一个项目，他们面临着设计和开发电动摩托车以参加巴塞罗那智能摩托车挑战赛的挑战。该团队已经优化了之前设计“ERAY”和“Dayna”的重要结构部分，但希望将他们的最新设计“Dayna EVO”更进一步。该团队的目标是打造一款具有物联网连接和医疗服务能力的 100% 电动越野摩托车。他们寻求提高自行车的安全性、舒适性和结构性能，目标是打造更轻、更简单的自行车。为了实现这一目标，他们需要仿真工具来生成形状、预测材料行为并优化全电动摩托车的制造工艺。
解决方案
该团队使用 Altair® Inspire™ 进行拓扑优化，优化多个结构部件的设计，同时实现最大程度的减重。他们首先分析了原始底盘的性能。对于铝制副车架，他们应用 Inspire 来最大程度地减少结构组件的重量，并使用 Altair® Inspire™ Print3D 来优化制造流程。为了设计自行车的摇臂，他们研究了三种主要负载情况，并使用 Inspire 进行了各种迭代，以生成具有最佳形状的几何形状。对于碳纤维车把，他们使用 Altair® HyperWorks® 通过修改层数来优化复合材料，以实现所需的性能。最后，他们使用 HyperWorks 模拟新零件和复杂组件，并评估它们在不同赛车场景中的性能。

Flow Robotics: Scaling Up Production and Accelerating Product Development with IoT
Flow Robotics, a Danish manufacturer, developed flowbot™ ONE pipetting robots to alleviate the strain on bioanalysts in life-science laboratories and hospitals across Europe. These robots were designed to automate part of the testing process, speeding up the time it takes to produce results and reducing pressure on staff. However, the company faced challenges in scaling up production and accelerating product development. High workloads and physically challenging conditions have long been an issue for laboratory professionals. Flow Robotics estimates that around half of medical lab technicians carry out the same arm movements for at least a quarter of their working day. The American Society for Clinical Pathology reported that 85% of laboratory professionals feel burnt out; 36% struggle with inadequate staffing; and 32% face a heavy workload and pressure to complete all testing on time.

Revolutionizing Aerospace Industry with 3D Printing: A 63% Lighter Titanium Part
GE Aviation, a renowned name in the aerospace industry, recognized the potential of 3D printing technology in transforming the sector. The primary challenge was to reduce the weight of the aerospace parts, which would directly impact the fuel costs. A lighter airplane would mean lower fuel consumption, leading to cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint. However, achieving this weight reduction without compromising the strength and functionality of the parts was a significant challenge. Traditional manufacturing methods were not able to provide the desired weight reduction while maintaining the required stiffness and strength of the parts. The challenge was to find a solution that could create strong, light, and functional aerospace parts.

Material Intelligence at Ethicon: Sustaining Medical Device Manufacturability and Improving Patient Care
Ethicon, a world-class medical devices company, faced several challenges in its operations. The rapid selection of manufacturing materials compliant in global markets was critical to assure patients, practitioners, and purchasing organizations of the biocompatibility of their medical devices. Ensuring supply chain continuity and minimizing risks of obsolescence for medical devices due to regulatory changes were also crucial in meeting Ethicon’s ongoing commitment to maintaining patient care. Furthermore, the engineers at Ethicon were developing the next generation of medical devices and needed to access historical material data to accelerate new product development. The process of centralizing and digitalizing its materials information was a significant challenge that Ethicon needed to overcome.

IWT's Transformation: Customizing with Efficiency in IoT
IWT, a company specializing in the design, manufacture, and installation of washing systems for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, faced a significant challenge in managing its wide product portfolio. The company manufactures 45 different models, 60% of which are customized to some degree. This high level of customization, combined with limited production quantities, necessitated a controlled process for managing the release of engineering changes. The goal was to achieve efficiency, reduce process time, and better coordinate production throughout the organization. The need for strict compliance in heavily regulated industries further complicated the situation. IWT's existing PLM journey with Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS for 3D CAD and Enovia for managing CAD data and Bills of Materials (BOMs) was proving inadequate. The system had limited part classification, no workflow, and no tool to ensure data consistency. The management of non-CAD documents was also a challenge, with information often difficult to find and access.
