Faster, Better Scaffolding Design - Altair HyperWorks Platform Cuts Time and Costs in RINGER’S Scaffolding Design Cycle

Headquartered in Austria, RINGER is a leading manufacturer of scaffolding and formwork systems. In a new project, RINGER engineers needed to design a new component of a facade scaffolding system called a cornice frame. RINGER’s main goal was to extend the number of scaffolding levels above the cornice frame without increasing the frame’s weight. Until recently, RINGER’s approach to finding the right dimensioning for new products involved an evaluation by a structural engineering expert. However, traditional FEA methods caused delays and inefficiencies, often overlooking over-dimensioned components. To address these challenges and foster an efficient design process, RINGER sought a new simulation tool that would allow them to calculate structural loads early in development.
