¡° COMEX NUCLEAIRE (CxN) completed in collaboration with ESI the Behavior Analysis Report for Replacement Steam Generators (RSG) provided by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) for EDF French nuclear power plants. This notable work was carried out with a high level of quality using innovative approaches, such as SYSTUS functionalities allowing to complete 3D numerical models with as few hypotheses as possible. These studies include both complex thermo-hydraulic and thermo-mechanic analyses in order to demonstrate the equipment's full conformity with French nuclear regulation."

¡° At Tractebel Energy Engineering, our team of fracture mechanics experts is using SYSTUS extensively for defect tolerance analysis. In this specific case, we had to optimize NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) inspections on a key equipment: the reactor pressure vessel of a nuclear power plant."
Fuel Cells Flow simulation enables engineers to understand and visualize the complex flow within with the fuel cell. This plays a critical role in its performance:
¡°Simulation has helped us significantly increase the efficiency and life of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) by reducing variations in flow between the individual cells, and within cells.¡±
Solar To address the growing market for efficient solar energy production, ESI delivers Simulation-Based Design solutions for complex manufacturing issues related to photo-voltaic (PV) applications, from large silicon crystal growth to chemical vapor deposition of the active junctions that make up the cell. ESI solutions can also simulate thermal and structural performance under real operating conditions and our experts provide services for every step in between.
Wind Wind Turbine infusion/injection and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) processes are quickly tested and optimized through ESI's CATIA integrated solutions for Composites design and manufacturing: PAM-QUIKFORM for CATIA V5 and PAM-RTM for CATIA V5.
Composite part designers rapidly predict possible deformation of Composite parts reinforcement and fine tune the manufacturing process parameters, thus increasing productivity.
