Simtec conducted a structural analysis of an industrial aluminum roller designed by TEKA Systems S.A. for EL.V.AL. S.A. Using ANSYS Mechanical, the study evaluated the roller's performance under standard and overload forces. The CAD model was simplified and analyzed, revealing that the roller operates within the elastic region, with only minor, non-critical plastic deformations. This ensured the safe and reliable operation of the roller.- Date

Simtec conducted electromagnetic simulations to evaluate magnetic coupling and current imbalance in cables connecting inverters to transformers at a Photovoltaic Power Station in Brazil. The study explored different cable arrangements in buried pipes, revealing that configurations with different-phase cables in each pipe reduced current unbalancing. Thermal analysis under worst-case conditions showed that the cables' temperature remained well below the melting point, confirming no risk of overheating.- Date

Simtec conducted a heat dissipation study for BIOSAR SA's underground cables at a Photovoltaic Power Station in Oakey, Australia. Using coupled finite element analysis with Ansys Mechanical, the study evaluated the thermal loads from ohmic losses and solar radiation on cables in sand-filled trenches. The simulation ensured that the design would protect the cables from melting, even under worst-case conditions.
