Companies involved in R&D are under increasing pressure to produce complex, robust designs for less cost and in less time. Simulation is widely used as a primary design tool to help meet these demands. ANSYS, the world leader in simulation software, has developed the ANSYS Workbench Environment. 3D CAD data from all major CAD systems can be seamlessly imported and simulated in this virtual testing environment.
IDAC Ireland Ltd, CAE consultants and the ANSYS Channel Partner in Ireland, have the expertise to help you to exploit these advanced technologies to produce better products in less time. Contact us today to arrange a free consultation.
6. Why Use Simulation? “ Novate are developing an innovative vena cava filter for treatment of patients who are at risk of deep vein thrombosis. The device must conform closely to the vena cava wall, but still provide sufficient stiffness and fatigue strength. “ To help to achieve this design balance, Novate have used IDAC’s services at each design iteration, to simulate deployment of the device inside the vessel and calculate fatigue life. Novate plans to commence a clinical trial in 2009.” 'At Abbott, we use simulations from the concept stage of stent design right through to finalization. At the concept stage, it is used for feasibility studies, sensitivity studies and design optimization. These allow us to better understand the behavior of different stent geometries and rapidly provide us with the information needed to make sound design decisions early in the design process.' says Erik Eli, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara.
