关于客户
F.tech R&D North America 总部位于日本，在全球设有分支机构，是一家一级汽车系统供应商。该公司向原始设备制造商 (OEM) 提供副车架、悬架控制臂和踏板等各种汽车零部件。 F.tech 北美研发中心位于俄亥俄州特洛伊，拥有完整的设计、计算机辅助工程 (CAE)、原型设计和测试内部研发能力。该团队采用虚拟设计验证，广泛使用仿真工具，包括 Altair 的 HyperWorks™ 软件套件。
挑战
F.tech R&D North America 是一家一级汽车系统供应商，在通过网格划分和不同类型的焊接创建自动化来标准化其模型构建流程方面面临着挑战。车辆设计和开发的复杂性，包括原型成本、安全标准合规性和排放，给工程师带来了许多挑战。 F.tech 北美研发中心的计算机辅助工程 (CAE) 团队正在努力应对与焊接创建的模型构建和几何准备相关的繁琐任务。显然，我们需要一种能够简化这些流程、消除人为错误、提高分析数据的准确性并节省宝贵的开发时间的解决方案。
解决方案
Altair 为 F.tech 北美研发中心开发了一款定制解决方案，称为 F.tech–PAS（F.tech - 预处理自动化解决方案）。该解决方案是使用 Altair 的 Model Mesher Director (MMD) PSO（打包解决方案产品）开发的。 F.tech-PAS 是一个简化的工具集，可帮助 F.tech 工程师进行从 CAD 到解算器平台的 CAE 网格划分和装配。它包括一些关键功能，例如从 Altair HyperMesh™ 启动工具、捕获最佳模型构建实践以及自动化网格划分和焊接过程中的不同步骤。导入模型文件后，通过几何清理和网格划分、创建焊缝和垫圈来简化模型文件。工程师现在能够有效地简化和取消几何图形的特征，加速网格划分和焊缝创建过程，并自动分配材料和属性。模型完成后，即可使用 Altair OptiStruct™ 或备用求解器进行分析。

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
