Prototype Tow Bar

09 March 2004

Challenge

- Monoflex wanted to investigate more design alternatives within the same time frame without having to build new prototypes and to conduct more physical tests.
- Another challenge was to reduce the weight of the tow bars.

Solution

The integration of ANSYS DesignSpace into their current design environment and 3D-CAD system, SolidWorks from Dassault, gave Monoflex the possibility to quickly conduct several "what-if" analyses and thereby virtually test more design alternatives and configurations. Also ANSYS DesignSpace gave Monoflex the possibility to reduce material from the designs.

Benefits

- The benefits from the combined solution ANSYS DesignSpace integrated to the 3D-CAD system is that Monoflex now produce products with a higher product quality and performance than before.
- Using now less material their products are also more cost-effective.
- Time to market is a challenge that ANSYS DesignSpace helped them to control.
