Röchling Automotive used Altair SimSolid to accelerate structural analysis of complex plastic components for EV battery cooling systems. Traditional FEA required extensive CAD cleanup and meshing, slowing development. SimSolid’s meshless approach enabled direct analysis of full CAD assemblies, capturing nonlinear material behavior and contact effects accurately. Engineers reduced calculation time by 60% and analyzed three times more design variants within the same timeframe. Early performance validation improved quotation accuracy and confidence. The solution supported Röchling’s sustainable mobility strategy by enabling faster, more reliable development of lightweight, high-performance plastic battery components.
