Challenge	The Oil and Gas sector is a complex industry that requires intricate and efficient design processes. Traditional CAD design methods often result in heavy, costly, and time-consuming conceptual designs. The industry is constantly seeking ways to reduce material costs, save weight, and expedite the conceptual design process. Furthermore, there is a need to understand different manufacturing techniques better and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the part/assembly. The challenge lies in finding a solution that can address these issues while being easy to use and compatible with existing CAD systems. Read More
About Customer	The customer in this case study is the Oil and Gas sector. This industry is characterized by its complexity and the need for efficient and effective design processes. The sector is constantly seeking ways to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and expedite processes. The industry also requires a deep understanding of different manufacturing techniques and a comprehensive understanding of the part/assembly. The Oil and Gas sector is likely to benefit significantly from a solution like Inspire, which promises to address these needs and challenges. Read More
Solution	Inspire, a CAE-driven design tool, offers a revolutionary solution to these challenges. The process begins with the original CAD design, from which package space and load cases are created. The Inspire Concept Shape is then developed, allowing for the exploration of different designs and shapes. The concept shape is validated, and the results are integrated back into the CAD system. The new design, as a result, is 25% lighter than the original. Inspire 2014 offers several benefits, including lower material cost, weight savings, less time spent on conceptual design, the ability to generate more concepts in a shorter time, a better understanding of different manufacturing techniques, and a more comprehensive understanding of the part/assembly. It is also easy to use and features a new analysis feature and export for CAD. Read More Log in to view content
