Frisa Forjados S.A. de C.V. (Frisa) is a world-leading manufacturer of seamless rolled rings and open die forgings supplied across a number of industries, including aerospace, construction, industrial machinery, oil and gas, power generation, and wind power. Frisa outsourced its engineering and simulation work to a service provider, and quickly realized they would be more advantageous to do the engineering work in-house, where the knowledge of the process resides.
NX CAE software from Siemens PLM became Frisa's first choice as they had the engineering capabilities to address the unique manufacturing challenges. Since the company's tooling solutions often encompass complex geometry, the engineering team could use the powerful geometry handling capabilities of NX CAE to rapidly simplify the geometry for analysis purposes and reduce design/analysis cycle time. Further the understanding of mechanical properties of Frisa's tooling solutions is a key to their performance and service life. With NX CAE, they could predict the stresses in their assemblies, giving them confidence when selecting the right heat treatment process. Engineers at Frisa work on complex equipment modification and retrofits to increase their manufacturing capabilities for new products. With NX CAE, Frisa not only increased their engineering expertise but also offered solutions to more complex challenges in the industry.
