Case Study: AUDI Hungaria Zrt achieves faster, more efficient simulation workflows with Cadence ANSA model reduction

AUDI Hungaria Zrt reduces simulation overhead by 20%–30% with Cadence

a major automotive manufacturer faced challenges in efficiently simulating the mechanical durability of components, particularly for battery electric vehicles. The process of optimizing a test frame using complex shell structures was computationally slow and time-consuming, adding significant overhead to their development cycle. They partnered with Cadence Design Systems to utilize the ANSA software for model reduction.

Cadence Design Systems implemented a streamlined process using ANSA's Beamify tool and a custom script to replace detailed shell structures with simplified beam elements. This solution preserved structural fidelity while drastically reducing computational time. The optimization workflow was significantly accelerated, eliminating the 20-30% time overhead previously caused by the complex shell models and enabling a more efficient development process.
