Case Studies: Structural mechanics

Civil Engineering / Farming Machineries

FARESIN, Italy; ANSYS DesignSpace

Activity

FARESIN is a well established market leader, producing products for the building industry as well as civil engineering across Europe. They have recently started to market new products for the farming industry, and are moving from a traditional design process to an enhanced one integrating 3D CAD and upfront simulation. FARESIN continues to always look for new technologies and ways to improve its design process.

Testimonial

“Today, all our new design projects start from virtual simulations. We design in 3D with Solid Edge all the products’ parts, continuously analyzing various configurations with DesignSpace.
DesignSpace allows designers to understand if they are designing right.
Enhancing our design process, the time to develop a new machine is only 2 months, when typically 1 year were needed with a traditional approach“

Luca Manea R&D Manager, FARESIN

Challenge

• Market new products for a new sectors
• Establish quickly the leadership and get fast return on investment
• Move from a 2D CAD environment to a fully 3D CAD system integrating upfront analysis

Solution

Deploy DesignSpace associated to Solid Edge:

• To avoid the traditional and expensive “Try and Fail” loop, reducing the number of prototypes,
• To control the structural performance at the earlier stage of the design
• For its easy learning and ease of use

Benefits

• Increase the innovation capacity
• Following standardized rules, simulation is performed on whole products
• Valuable information for feasibility and prototyping
  - First prototype is the right one
  - Consolidated and secured decisions
• Time savings for overall project time, only 2 months to design and validate a new machine
