Case Study: Oticon achieves 75% designer-led validation and boosts engineering productivity with ANSYS

Increasing Engineering Productivity through Smart Deployment of Simulation

Oticon, a William Demant business unit that designs hearing aids, faced growing product complexity, tighter medical regulation and the need to speed innovation without adding costly late-stage fixes. To address this, Oticon democratized simulation across its organization by adopting ANSYS technology—specifically the ANSYS Application Customization Toolkit (ACT)—to bring simulation into early design stages and into the hands of designers.

Using ANSYS and ACT, Oticon customized workflows, validated system-level models and secured executive support so non-expert designers could run advanced simulations. The deployment shifted 75% of work traditionally done by CAE experts to designers, freeing engineers to pursue system-level trade-offs, improve product reliability and reduce late-stage troubleshooting—accelerating time to market and enabling more innovative hearing-aid designs.
