Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

B\u00fchler aims to enable more engineers to simulate earlier and make informed design decisions, whilst controlling overheads and managing quality. Challenges include a globally distributed workforce, multiple CAD systems, varying degrees of simulation knowledge, and more. B\u00fchler also has a goal of a 60% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u00fchler\u2019s Initiative: Accelerating Innovation by Enabling More Engineers to Simulate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Engineering teams need to leverage cloud-native CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools to obtain faster insights into their product development to rapidly develop competitive products. Designers are demanding access to robust end-to-end design, simulation, and optimization tools in a web browser, leading to the advent of the all-cloud engineering software stack. This makes it easy to provide global teams with access to simulation tools early in the product life cycle and disrupts traditional R&D workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u00fchler<\/a> showed how a large group of engineers distributed globally adopted and deployed simulation tools to collaborate on research and development. Their engineering teams have benefitted from access to simulation via a simple login, with moderated simulation management provided by enterprise-level administration, and collaboration features. These are critical to unlocking deployment at scale by aligning with organizational information and systems policies and also serve to moderate computational resources and cost. All users can access the types of engineering simulations they need, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Did B\u00fchler Want to Achieve and Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Vonlanthen, Simulation Team Manager in Corporate Technology at B\u00fchler, has been pivotal in defining the SimScale rollout at B\u00fchler. The desired impact and preferred outcome defined by Richard and his team was to enable more engineers to simulate earlier and make informed design decisions, whilst controlling overheads and managing quality. This was in the context of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
