Hisense Europe, a household appliance group whose brands include Gorenje, ASKO, and Hisense, applies Ansys simulation software across its product development process, working alongside Ansys partner SIMTEC. Depending on the engineering challenge, the team applies specific Ansys tools to each product category:
- Ansys Mechanical is used to analyse washing machine spin-cycle forces and supports the development of a dishwasher digital twin, combining structural simulation, acoustics and experimental data to predict and mitigate noise while reducing reliance on physical prototypes.
- Mechanical and optiSLang are used to optimise the high-temperature enameling process for ovens, while Fluent supports cooling system design. For induction hobs, Maxwell together with optiSLang is applied for electromagnetic simulations.
- Mechanical is used to redesign motor and compressor mounts to reduce vibration transfer and noise, while Fluent redesigns internal airflow channels to improve aerodynamic performance and efficiency.
This simulation approach aims to support the company’s broader sustainability goals.
