Case Study: ETA Green Power optimizes commercial lawnmower motor design with EDRMedeso and Ansys LS-Dyna

Using Simulation to Optimize Motor Design for Commercial-Grade Lawnmowers

ETA Green Power, a UK-based leader in electrification solutions, faced challenges in designing electric motors for commercial-grade lawnmowers that could withstand catastrophic shock loads, such as a blade striking debris. To address this and mitigate the risk of mechanical failure in their designs, they collaborated with the vendor EDRMedeso and utilized Ansys LS-Dyna simulation software.

EDRMedeso implemented a simulation solution that modeled a high-impact scenario to analyze system deformation and identify structural weaknesses. This process enabled ETA to propose proactive design changes, ensuring reliability and compliance with legislative tolerances. The use of simulation by EDRMedeso significantly reduced the need for physical testing, accelerating development cycles, lowering costs, and delivering a right-first-time design to the market.
