DANFOSS DRIVES
providing drive solutions for local battery-energy storage systems and advanced drive arrangements .
Danfoss Drives and Ansys collaboration empowers digital transformation Danfoss Drives ’ collaboration with Ansys started over a decade ago . As the leading provider of multiphysics simulation software , Ansys has the engineering expertise and comprehensive solutions needed to help innovators push boundaries by using the predictive power of simulation .
“ What we value with Ansys is their responsiveness in tool development ,” said Kuivalainen . “ Optimisation requires high fidelity modelling and simulation .”
Throughout Danfoss Drives ’ digitalisation journey , Kuivalainen noticed a barrier to entry for new users of the high-end simulation tools , which could be difficult to understand . This caused a bottleneck for product development .
But with Ansys simulation solutions , such as Ansys Discovery , users can quickly understand how to use the tools ; achieve fast , high-fidelity results ; and explore multiphysics and multiple physics scenarios .
“ With Ansys , we can democratise the simulation , making it more available , so that customers get the right support to get started .”
With Ansys Discovery , Ansys Mechanical , Ansys Fluent , Ansys Icepack and Ansys SIwave , Danfoss Drives can combine fast , accurate physics simulations that are easy to use , meaning that this digitalisation is democratised . For example , Ansys Discovery features interactive modelling and multiple simulation capabilities , which enable users to answer critical design questions early
in the design process . This saves time and effort on prototyping as users can explore hundreds of design concepts virtually in the time it would take to build and test just one physical prototype .
Danfoss Drives is also co-innovating with customers with help of simulation and modelling .
“ We started to pivot systems in our own application development centres with a customer facing platform . We have physical locations , where we can go to innovate and develop solutions with our customers .”
