ANSYS DesignSpace; Grünbeck Wasseraufbereitung GmbH, Germany
Activity
Water is the center of activity at Grünbeck. The core competencies of whom are research, development, production, and marketing water treatment technologies, methods, and products. The highly qualified staff and an innovative, scientific approach to technology enable them to guarantee the quality of their most important element - water. Innovative approaches to research and development are a philosophy of life at Grünbeck. Numerous patents demonstrate that the company has deservedly earned the reputation of being an “Innovation Engine”.
Testimonial
“The biggest benefit we gained from using ANSYS DesignSpace was that we can now check designs in the shortest time possible to find out which one is most suitable. Combined with topological optimization, DesignSpace finds new design solutions, which we would not have thought of.
Even though we are primarily using DesignSpace for analyzing plastic components with fiber-glass fillings (nonlinear structural behavior), we found it was comprehensive enough to use to predict whether parts would fail over time due to fatigue.
Overall, we can say that without DesignSpace we couldn't possibly meet the development requirements quickly enough.”
