Case Study: Dinex achieves 25% reduction in time-to-market with Rescale's ScaleX platform

Dinex Reduces Time to Market of Exhaust Systems by 25%

Dinex, a Danish designer and manufacturer of exhaust and emissions systems, faced a tight deadline to deliver a China 5 SCR exhaust system while relying on large CFD and FEA models (4–5M cells) run with AVL FIRE and ANSYS Mechanical that took weeks on a 32‑core in‑house server. To meet the schedule they turned to Rescale and its ScaleX platform for cloud-based big compute.

Rescale provided a turnkey, pay‑per‑use HPC platform and workflow that let Dinex run six design optimizations (two AVL FIRE simulations in parallel at ~100 cores each) and scale out horizontally. Using Rescale, individual simulations dropped from ~3 weeks to ~3 days and overall optimization turnaround (including mesh and setup) fell from four weeks to one week (75% reduction), cutting 18 weeks of simulation time and accelerating time‑to‑market by 25% (18 → 13.5 months); Dinex also gained higher project throughput, revenue potential, and engineering productivity.
