Continual Performance Improvement of Washing Machines Through a Multi-Disciplinary Simulation Approach

Pages 2 Pages

Mabe implemented a multi-disciplinary simulation strategy using Altair tools to continuously improve washing machine performance. Over several years, the company applied structural, motion, control, and electromagnetic simulations to optimize machine capacity, efficiency, and durability. The approach increased washer capacity by 35%, spin speed by 24%, and energy efficiency by 24% while reducing water consumption by 52%. Development cycle time dropped by 25%. Integrating system-level simulation allowed realistic modeling of motors, suspension systems, and dynamic loads, strengthening Mabe’s global competitiveness and product leadership.
