Case Study: Schindler achieves faster, consistent lift simulation with MSC Software

Schindler Lifts automates its FE calculations with CAE tools from MSC Software

indler Group, a global market leader in the lift and escalator sector, faced the challenge of finding reliable and energy-efficient solutions that make the optimum use of materials for its complete lift systems. To address this, the company turned to vendor MSC Software and its CAE tools, SimXpert and MSC Nastran, for structural calculations.

MSC Software's solution enabled Schindler to automate its finite element calculations using SimXpert's template-based modeling. This allowed engineers to simulate wall fixings, carry out static and dynamic analyses, and model a greater number of design variants efficiently. The key, and a significant time savings that freed engineers to focus on design optimization, helping Schindler retain its competitive lead.
