Result § Reduce 20% of Engineering calculation and re-calculation time. § Increase communication effectiveness with Visualization and Documentation function. § Increase engineering calculation accuracy. “Hyundai Engineering use Mathcad since 2005. When it comes to nuclear engineering, you expect no less than perfect and fast calculation. Mathcad has various functions and formulae and automated calculation feature, and helps to enhance our engineering capability. Also, Mathcad’s visualization and documentation features are very helpful when communicating with frontlines and non-engineer clients. ” - Lee, Dong Hoon, Manager, Hyundai Engineering Co. © 2008 PTC
Civil Engineering A-INSINNÖÖRIT OY A-Insinöörit was founded in 1959, and is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading specialty in civil engineering. In order to keep and deliver high quality standards to their customers, the company is using a wide range of new technologies. BUSINESS INITIATIVE § To develop and support high quality standards and satisfy customers’ requirements with high performance, the company’s goal is to use new and high quality technical tools. SOLUTION § Mathcad was found to be a good solution for engineering calculations and dimensioning, and a good tool for data integration between a variety of programs that the company is using. RESULT § Mathcad is easy to use and easy to teach to newcomers. Mathcad produces results faster and has increased the company’s productivity. “At the moment all Mathcad projects are concentrating on Euro Code system and engineering calculations development. Mathcad is the best tool for these projects because the results of these projects can be easily integrated in other civil engineering programs that we are using. ” Arto Möttönen , Project Manager, A-Insinöörit © 2006 PTC
Electronics & High Tech TDI Power Enables Efficient and Intelligent Engineering Calculation using PTC’s Mathcad® Transdev Electronics (Shen. Zhen) Co. , Ltd. is a wholly owned division of Transistor Devices Inc. , a pioneer of highly reliable power systems development. Transdev develops and produces AC-DC rectifiers, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, high frequency rectifiers, etc. BUSINESS INITIATIVE § TDI R&D engineers used to rely on the traditional methods, such as manuscripts, Excel, etc. , to perform calculations, causing much manual work and rework. Moreover, the calculation process within Excel is implicit, which makes it difficult for engineers to understand design concepts and come up with innovative ideas, and a lot of training is required for new hires, in particular. SOLUTION § Mathcad, PTC’s engineering calculation software, replaced the traditional calculation tools to perform, document and share calculation work, allowing for automatic solution § Utilized Mathcad Standardizing Design Manual § Offered training services RESULT § Reduced calculation time using the real-time and simultaneous calculation capabilities of Mathcad, calculations being solved in a second § Mathcad manual enabled engineers to follow standardized design process and effectively reuse the calculation process § Mathcad went live within one week after the training “By means of modifying parameter entries, we can reuse the existing calculation process in every new design or change the new calculation method. Mathcad can solve the calculation in a second based on these changes. Therefore, we don’t need to rework again and again, significantly improving our productivity. ” Li Wei(Doctor), Engineering Manager, TDI Power © 2006 PTC
Industrial Equipment SICOR SPA Improves Time, Efficiency and Quality by 30% with Pro/ENGINEER + Mathcad + Windchill PDMLink SICOR SPA was founded in 1981, and specializes in design and production of traction system for elevators and winches. BUSINESS INITIATIVE § Reduce time-to-market while leveraging product quality assurance and process § Broader engineering capabilities and greater proposal variety to customers SOLUTION § RANDIT, an authorized PTC reseller, deployed Pro/ENGINEER Foundation XE, Pro/ENGINEER Advanced Assembly (AAX), Mathcad and Windchill PDMLink to increase efficiency, improving quality and optimizing design time and process management § PTC’s CAD, Mathcad Calculators and PDM products adopted Simultaneous Engineering into the Product Development System (PDS) RESULT § Improved design time, engineering efficiency and product quality by 30% “Using PTC software integrated platform with Pro/ENGINEER, Mathcad and Windchill PDMLink, we have accomplished our aimed project for Product Life. Cycle Management in SICOR. Now we manage completely product design &simulation of hoisting machines and process workflow. We optimize our products with a time reduction of 30%, a great increase of both intrinsic product and process quality and production. ” Ing. Christian Girardi, R & D Manager, SICORSpa Ing.
