Traditionally simulation was employed to validate the design of a product or process immediately before testing or for troubleshooting following non-conformance or failure. With fast software and hardware solutions, FEA and CFD technology is now becoming a powerful tool for developing and optimising concept design as a ‘Simulation Driven’ process.
When the performance of the design, in terms of cost, weight, reliability or other specification, depends on a number of variables or parameters, a systematic approach is still required. A range of methodologies are available to assess the relationship between these parameters and their effect on performance.
For both virtual (FEA/CFD) and physical (prototype / shop trial) testing, Wilde offers dedicated software and services to assist the design optimisation process. ANSYS’ CAD-integrated and parametrically driven Workbench environment and DesignXplorer module is ideal for structural, thermal, fluid dynamics and even electromagnetic problems. Some of our other software products, including Autodesk Moldflow and PLAXIS, also have built-in capabilities to facilitate optimisation and parameter sensitivity studies.
