Operational Impact
The use of solidThinking Inspire in the development process resulted in several operational benefits. The software's user-friendly interface and accurate analysis results made it a quick tool to learn and easy to work with. This allowed designers, civil engineers, and architects, who are not yet that familiar with optimization and simulation technology, to also use it. The software helped to reduce the weight of the profile by roughly 20 percent, and considering that the material used in this project is aluminum, it is a significant cost reduction. On a linear meter, which weighs around 7 kilos before the optimization, Faraone could save around 1.5 kg. Even if only counting the material saving, Inspire has already paid off with the first project we used it for. The software also helped the engineers to come to a testable product much quicker than before. | |
