Operational Impact
The implementation of the creep subroutine in ANSYS MAPDL led to significant operational improvements for ISGEC Hitachi Zosen Limited. The company was able to optimize the weight of their equipment by maximizing the material capacity at high temperatures, ensuring that any creep damage was within the acceptable code limit. This not only improved the efficiency of their designs but also enhanced their cost-effectiveness. The time required for calculation and post-processing of creep strain and creep damage results was drastically reduced, leading to faster turnaround times for projects. Furthermore, the elimination of human error common in manual spreadsheet calculations led to more accurate results, reducing the risk of over-estimating creep damage and improving the overall reliability of their products. | |
