Imperial Auto faced recurring design challenges in fluid transmission components, including thinning, spring-back, and high-stress concentrations during pipe bending. To improve accuracy and reduce physical testing, the company integrated Altair HyperWorks into its design workflow. Using simulation-driven forming and structural analysis, engineers evaluated stress, deformation, and thinning behavior early in development. Simulation results closely matched physical tests, enabling Imperial Auto to reduce design errors and optimize component performance. The approach shortened development cycles, improved product quality, and positioned the company to support future hydrogen vehicle initiatives through advanced multiphysics simulation.
