Case Study: INDAR accelerates generator design and improves simulation accuracy with ANSYS and EDRMedeso

INDAR - Customer Case Study

EDRMedeso's customer, INDAR, a manufacturer of custom hydroelectric generators, faced the challenge of optimizing energy output and preventing damaging hot spots in their complex, non-standard designs. Relying on simulation over costly physical prototypes, their existing workflow was time-consuming, taking over a week to preprocess and solve a single design variation, which made meeting tight delivery deadlines difficult.

Through a solution leveraging ANSYS software, including Fluent with Mosaic meshing technology, EDRMedeso provided INDAR with a vastly improved workflow. This new automated and parametric approach slashed preprocessing time from six-to-eight days to just four hours and reduced solver time by 30%. These dramatic efficiency gains allowed INDAR engineers to explore more design options, scale production, and accelerate their path to market while ensuring their generators perform with great accuracy.
