ASUSTeK Computer to Accelerate Electronic Product Innovation with Dassault Systemes' Simulation Solutions

By DE Editors

Abaqus from SIMULIA is used to analyze a Notebook LCD module subjected to pressing load. Realistic simulation shows the engineers from ASUS the deformation and stress distribution, revealing where there is potential risk.

Dassault Systemes (DS) has announced that ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. (ASUS), a manufacturer of consumer electronics, has selected Abaqus finite element analysis (FEA) software from Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA brand to accelerate innovative product design, performance, and reliability with realistic simulation solutions.

“The extremely quick pace of innovation, particularly in the electronic industry, makes it critical to diminish time-to-market as much as possible,” says Benson Chan, manager, Analysis Design Section, Mechanical & Industrial Design Center, ASUS. “Abaqus FEA will enable our engineering teams to reduce costly, time consuming physical tests by using virtual simulations such as mobile phone drop, twisting, bending simulation, hinge-operating simulation, pressure-on-NB cover simulation, and others.”

ASUS has won numerous awards for innovation and quality in the field of inboard computer components and peripherals and has ranked in BusinessWeek’s InfoTech 100 for 10 straight years. In 2007, one in three desktop PCs sold was powered by an ASUS motherboard. The addition of Abaqus FEA to their product development process will allow ASUS to reduce time and costs, according to the company.
