Case Study: Crestline Coach achieves faster, safer ambulance design with SimScale

Crestline Coach cuts simulation pre-processing time by 90% with SimScale

Crestline Coach, a manufacturer of custom ambulances, faced significant challenges with its traditional design process. Long development cycles, high costs from multiple physical prototypes, and limited performance insight from physical tests were hindering progress. Their legacy simulation software created bottlenecks with failed meshes and corruption. To build safer vehicles faster, they adopted SimScale's cloud-native CFD and FEA platform.

By implementing SimScale, Crestline Coach transitioned to a simulation-driven design approach. The solution enabled rapid virtual testing, reducing their overall design cycle by 30% and cutting physical prototyping costs by 60%. Engineers achieved a 90% reduction in simulation setup time and could provide simulation-backed approvals to the manufacturing floor in under two hours, significantly reducing costly rework and ensuring products passed performance standards on the first physical test.
