Operational Impact
The use of ANSYS Mechanical for the redesign of the wheeled-bobsled resulted in a smoother, safer ride for customers, enhancing the overall customer experience. The ability to virtually test hundreds of variations of the yoke shape and thickness in a short time frame allowed for a more efficient and effective design process. This not only resulted in a superior product but also demonstrated Apollo Engineering's ability to leverage technology to meet tight deadlines and deliver high-quality engineering solutions. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The project timeline was reduced from an estimated six months to just eight weeks, representing a time saving of approximately 75%. | |
The use of ANSYS Mechanical allowed for the virtual testing of hundreds of yoke variations within a week. | |
The approach led to an approximately 95% reduction in development time, resulting in significant cost savings in prototyping and testing. | |
