Zhefu needed a PLM solution to support its strategy to develop hydropower equipment to meet the most demanding requirements both domestically within China’s fast-growing market as well as overseas. Zhefu’s quest for a PLM solution was driven by the company’s need for a more efficient and comprehensive product lifecycle management solution that would help boost its capability to design leading-edge machinery.
Zhefu’s comprehensive Siemens PLM Software solution will enable 3D CAD product development, digital design, modeling and product data management through the use of the following products:
- NX™ software, an integrated solution for digital product development
- NX Nastran® software, a world-class computer-aided engineering (CAE) tool
- Solid Edge® software with synchronous technology, the core CAD component of the Velocity Series™ portfolio
- Teamcenter® software, a comprehensive digital lifecycle management portfolio
NX, NX Nastran, Teamcenter and Solid Edge provide the proven mechanical engineering and product information management solutions which will help Zhefu effectively coordinate product-related activities both within the organization and with the company’s suppliers and customers.
NX will allow Zhefu to rapidly and efficiently develop 3D digital prototypes for sophisticated hydropower equipment, through powerful modeling and simulation functions. These prototypes can then be tested in a virtual environment by solving analysis problems using NX Nastran. Solid Edge will allow Zhefu to migrate from 2D to 3D design, and Teamcenter will enhance collaboration within the company and with customers across the globe.
“NX, NX Nastran and Solid Edge improve our competitive position in both China’s domestic and the global hydropower markets by enabling us to develop superior products and services. For example, we can more quickly create and deliver a component which will fit exactly within the machinery, which is essential for the rapid motion of hydropower equipment. The superior data and resource management capabilities in Teamcenter enhance efficiency and collaboration across the enterprise while boosting overall product lifecycle management. Zhefu selected Siemens PLM Software’s product portfolio based on its proven track record for success in the hydropower industry,” said Zhao Zhiqiang, vice president at Zhejiang Fuchunjiang Hydropower Equipment Co.
“Siemens PLM Software solutions are the ideal tools to enable China’s hydropower industry to develop leading-edge equipment to meet the country’s burgeoning demand for energy. We are pleased that our NX, NX Nastran, Solid Edge and Teamcenter software can help Zhefu realize its strategic objective to advance to the forefront of the global hydropower sector as well as to help meet the country’s ambitious plans for greener power generation by efficiently harnessing the country’s hydropower resources,” said Chuck Yuan, senior vice president and general manager, Greater China, Siemens PLM Software.
