Case Study
Simulation and Modeling for Medical Device Manufacturing Failures Identified
1 Simulation and Modeling for Medical Device Manufacturing // A global medical device manufacturer was experiencing in-service failures of an electronic device and struggling to define the root cause. Product testing did not show the same failure modes as the in-service component. The Ansys Reliability Engineering Services (RES) team combined decades of electronics reliability experience with simulation and modeling tools to assess failure risks under operational thermal, shock and vibration loading. / Appr o a c h Attempting to simulate every possible use case at the highest fidelity can be costly and time-intensive. Ansys experts in electronics reliability worked with the device manufacturer to understand the failures observed, the device design and the use environment prior to s
