Case Study: Invernizzi Presse achieves greater precision, safety, and time savings with Hexagon MSC.Marc and MSC.Patran

Solving a Pressing Problem Invernizzi Presse Gains Precision and Safety with VPD Tools

Invernizzi Presse, an Italian manufacturer of mechanical presses, sought to improve the precision and safety of its press designs while reducing development time. Their traditional mathematical calculation methods were time-consuming and limited the number of design variants they could test. They turned to vendor Hexagon's MSC Software and its products, MSC.Marc and MSC.Patran, to implement a virtual product development approach for complex contact and thermomechanical analysis.

The solution from Hexagon allowed engineers to perform accurate finite element analyses on press assemblies, studying contact points, safety structures, and gear systems. This led to significant time savings, more precise calculations, and the ability to optimize materials, which reduced production costs. Invernizzi could also convincingly demonstrate press performance to customers with analysis images, eliminating the need for costly physical prototypes and enhancing sales.
