TWH, a Chile-based DITEC-certified specialist in modular and prefabricated construction, faced a structural analysis bottleneck as it scaled its bathroom pod system — factory-built, fully equipped bathroom units designed for on-site installation in residential and industrial buildings. Each project requires multiple unique pod typologies, and traditional finite element analysis methods were unable to keep pace with production timelines, particularly for validating critical load cases such as crane lifting, on-site concrete pouring loads, and local buckling risks.
To address this, TWH adopted Altair SimSolid, a meshless simulation tool that aims to eliminate time-consuming geometry preparation and meshing. Engineers can import fully detailed CAD assemblies directly, running complex structural analyses in significantly less time. helping validate load capacity, establish safe lifting guidelines, and maintain adequate safety factors for confident, agile modular product development.
