关于客户
Segway LLC 是一家美国两轮自平衡个人运输车制造商，以 Segway 人类运输车 (HT) 闻名。该公司由企业家 Dean Kamen 创立，其愿景是彻底改变个人交通。该公司的旗舰产品Segway HT是一款自行式踏板车，旨在模仿人体保持平衡的能力。该设备旨在成为世界各地城市人行道上的常见景观，提供传统交通方式的替代方案。该公司与设计工程师密切合作，并拥有专门的机械完整性小组，以确保其产品的性能和完整性。
挑战
Segway LLC 是创新型 Segway 人类运输车 (HT) 背后的公司，在产品开发过程中面临着重大的工程挑战。 Segway HT 是一款两轮自行式踏板车，旨在彻底改变个人交通。然而，该设备的紧凑设计需要将大量硬件和软件组件集成到狭小的空间中。这种复杂性给 Segway 机械完整性小组带来了重大挑战，他们的任务是确保设备的特性和功能符合指定的性能标准。该团队在 Segway HT 的底盘方面面临着特殊的困难，该底盘必须能够承受操作员重达 250 磅的重量，容纳设备的电机、电池和电子元件，并且重量轻。设计的复杂几何配置使得标准机械分析技术无效或极难进行。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战，Segway 采用了 ANSYS Multiphysics 软件，该软件此前在 DEKA 研究与开发公司（Segway 是从该公司分拆出来的）实现其他创新产品方面发挥了重要作用。该软件用于分析 Segway HT 底盘各种设计元素中存在的几何非线性。分析师 Mark Wyer 使用 ANSYS Multiphysics 对 Segway HT 的众多部件和组件进行应力和疲劳分析。该软件能够预测 Segway HT 多个区域的应力/疲劳“热点”位置，包括 Segway 车轮在常规使用中会遇到的负载条件。这些预测通过该团队开发的专门设计的疲劳测试机上的物理测试得到了验证。

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
