Operational Impact
The use of ANSYS for simulation provided several operational benefits. It allowed for a reliable way of receiving stress feedback from the original CAD model, which was crucial in making necessary modifications to the design. The quick turnaround process enabled by ANSYS helped BNSFL deliver an on-time drawing package to the customer, ensuring customer satisfaction and maintaining the company's reputation for timely service. Additionally, the use of simulation as an alternative means of verification proved to be significantly more cost-effective than traditional hardware testing, leading to cost savings for both BNSFL and the customer. | |
