SolidWorks Simulation in Power Plant Engineering Applications
Power Plant Equipments need to deliver on Performance,
Up-time and Cost-effectiveness in a globally competitive market place.
While conventional standards and codes provide for arriving at basic engineering
design, SolidWorks Simulation empowers Design Engineers to validate their designs,
intrinsically, at every step of the design process enabling the Team to deliver
on Equipment Performance, Life and Cost parameters.Every manufacturing organization that is involved in development of designs of power plant equipments needs to address the following challenges to stay competitive and profitable:
- Provide Value to Customers at affordable Cost
- Incorporate new technologies for lean- and mean- power generation
- Develop Environmentally safe systems to become sustainable
- Deliver Efficient and Cost-effective systems
- Eliminate On-site failures and warranty problems that eat into profitability
- Introduce fail-safe designs with highest standards of reliability without compromising
on Value
- Is Your Plant Design Efficient?
- Is my runtime cost low and Per Unit Cost of Electricity low?
- How many years of warranty can you give?
- How competitive are you in terms of Cost compared to equipments imported from the Orient?
- How do you guarantee that the plant will deliver on efficiency and cost-per-unit-of-electricity goals?
- How quickly can you deliver?
