Engineers who work with AltaSim Technologies bring their products to market more rapidly, at a lower cost, and with an optimized design by leveraging our guidance for implementing multiphysics simulations. To illustrate the impact AltaSim has on our clients, we have put together a brief case study of a recent project using a unique solution from our simulation experts.
Problem:
One of AltaSim’s clients produces bulk materials used by high-tech industries, where heat treatment represents a critical step in their process. To produce functioning materials, the temperature of the material must be maintained within a narrow band. The heat treatment of our client’s designs could not maintain the needed material temperature and resulted in an 80% scrap rate.
Solution:
AltaSim confirmed that temperatures varied throughout the material during heat treatment after simulating the current heat treatment process. Our team modified the simulation to produce the desired temperature distribution, and we shared the conditions necessary for our client to obtain their desired heat treatment. Our client used our recommendations to modify their heat treatment process.
Results:
After investing $60,000 in working with AltaSim, our team provided data to our client's engineers on how to modify their heat treatment process. This reduced their scrap rate by 80% and saved them $100,000 per month. Thus, our client had a return on investment after only a few weeks of production.
AltaSim partners with companies to provide simulations that increase the knowledge and understanding of our clients’ engineering staff. Through these simulations, we work with our clients to develop actionable plans to solve their engineering challenges. To better understand our simulation services, visit our website for an overview.
