Case Study: Wafangdian Bearing Group Corporation (ZWZ) verifies wind pitch bearings faster with Hexagon Romax Wind

Wafangdian Bearing Group Corporation (ZWZ) - Customer Case Study

Wafangdian Bearing Group Corporation (ZWZ), one of the largest bearing companies in China, faced a challenge in supplying pitch bearings to a major global wind turbine OEM. The OEM required strict digital design verification through simulation, a complex task for which ZWZ lacked a robust methodology and for which physical testing was limited.

Hexagon implemented a solution using its Romax Wind software and advanced CAE methods to model and analyze the pitch bearing design. This approach reduced modeling time by 80% compared to general FE software and enabled ZWZ to complete all digital verification within two months, winning the deal with the OEM. Hexagon also provided technology transfer, allowing ZWZ to develop its own simulation platform and enhance its team's capabilities.
