Case Study: Litens Automotive Group achieves multimillion-dollar cost savings and dramatically faster full‑assembly contact analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium

Accelerating transmission systems design with solidworks simulation premium

Litens Automotive Group, a global leader and tier‑1 supplier of engineered power transmission systems, needed a robust, easy-to-use finite element analysis capability to simulate sophisticated assemblies with very complex contact relationships and to reduce expensive prototype cycles. To address this challenge they turned to SolidWorks and its Simulation Premium solution, seeking integrated CAD/CAE workflows that could handle contact, dynamics, fatigue, thermal and kinematics studies early in the design process.

By implementing SolidWorks Simulation Premium directly within their SolidWorks CAD environment, Litens cut full‑assembly contact solve times from days to hours, reduced prototyping iterations, accelerated new product development, and achieved millions of dollars in annual savings. SolidWorks’ fast solver, robust mesher, and single‑window CAD/CAE integration delivered measurable ROI and allowed Litens engineers to optimize designs more quickly and cost‑effectively.
