Virtual Chassis Design Validation - Arçelik Develops Reliable, Durable Chassis Designs Using Explicit Impact Analyses

Household appliances experience the most hazardous mechanical loads during transportation. While being loaded into or unloaded from a vehicle, movers and operators can unintentionally drop products, which can dent and damage products as they collide with the ground. When Arçelik develops new products, they must consider durability so they can avoid damage during transportation.

By deploying an explicit impact analysis during the design stage, Arçelik can now design more robust and reliable products. Furthermore, by applying design optimization iterations, the company reduced its packaging needs, making their products more eco-friendly and more sustainable.
