Fatigue Local Stress The casting part was evaluated to understand how operational loading generated local stress amplification around junctions, thickness transitions, and geometry features inherent to the casting process. The review concentrated on locating stress levels that could influence fatigue performance, particularly at casting radii, draft transitions, and regions shaped by manufacturing constraints. A nonlinear analysis was conducted with mesh refinement in high-cu

Client: Global OEM (confidential) | Scope: Nonlinear structural–thermal analysis + LCF post-processing Tool: ANSYS Mechanical Public case study – client and proprietary identifiers removed Challenge Approach Outcome Validate redesigned rotor lead geometry against an updated operating duty cycle and confirm fatigue robustness at known hotspot regions. Full nonlinear structural–thermal re-analysis with contact and plasticity, followed by Goodman- based LCF utilization evaluati

Executive Summary We assessed bulk flow through the transfer chute between the feed and receiving conveyors using a Simulation model. Inputs reflected the liner materials in service and a 10 mm iron-ore lump assumption for the base run. We reviewed velocity, trajectory, wall loading, preliminary wear, and adhesion indicators. The outcome was a short list of geometry and liner zoning actions to stabilize placement on the receiving belt and reduce peak wall demand. Scope and Ob

In the fast-paced world of mining, the integration of automation is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. Mining operations are leveraging advanced tools to streamline processes, cut costs, and boost productivity. For instance, one mining leader recently reported a staggering 50% reduction in unplanned downtimes after implementing upgraded PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, along with enhanced remote monitoring ca

BLDC Motor - Thermal Analysis A production grade BLDC motor required verification of temperature rise during duty cycles; The motor was newly manufactured, and the objective was to verify potential thermal loads that could develop in the windings and magnets, assess insulation life margins, evaluate possible bearing temperature drift, and determine how heat conducts through the housing and interface paths. Core objectives were to quantify transient temperature fields, verify

The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. This change is not just about new technologies but also about being more efficient in design and manufacturing. At the center of this change is the use of simulation-driven methods like Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Advanced simulations make a big difference by reducing prototype costs by up to 40%. This shift allows for a smoother design process and a more competitive edge f

In the fast-paced world of metals processing, boosting production efficiency is essential for companies that want to succeed. A prime example of this focus on improvement is ValBrid, a forward-thinking company in the industry. By using a co-sourced model, ValBrid achieved a striking 30% increase in throughput at its plate mill. This case shows how teamwork and smart resource use can close productivity gaps and drive success. Understanding the Co-sourced Model A co-sourced mo
