How WAGO uses reduced order models to simplify simulation processes

If only a small amount of information is relevant in 3D FEM models with 1 million degrees of freedom, it can be exported to small, reduced order models (ROMs).
This saves a lot of time. An example from WAGO shows how this works in Ansys, with many parties benefiting: Simulation engineers and sales staff at WAGO are unloaded of a huge burden because customers can evaluate connectors themselves using thermoelectric simulations.

“We were faced with the challenge that our small simulation department had to deal with an increasing number of inquiries from customers and colleagues in sales and product management in addition to product development,” says Wilhelm Rust, simulation engineer at WAGO, describing the trigger for a groundbreaking project. This is because even internal simulation-as-a-service offerings are based on large 3D FEM models and are therefore computationally intensive. This quickly added up to two weeks of processing time.
