Simulation Tools Verify Clients’ Machinery and Help Increase Production

Industrial machinery producer Kotchergenko realized a 50% increase in productivity, 20% faster model generation and improved product quality with Femap. It also made a 25 percent improvement in information flow/sharing.

The highest quality technical engineering services


Kotchergenko Engenharia (Kotchergenko) was founded in 1993 to fill a technological gap that existed between machinery and structural design. Since its inception, the company’s plan has been to differentiate itself from the competition through highquality technical engineering services.

To realize a unique service offering, Kotchergenko uses a combination of solutions, including externally acquired state-of-the-art software and internally developed custom applications. These solutions address a wide variety of engineering issues, such as upgrading equipment and investigating accidents involving machinery and structures.

Why Siemens PLM Software

The first market-based product lifecycle management (PLM) system used by Kotchergenko Engenharia was Ansys® software, which wasn’t well-suited to handling the company’s integration requirements at a time when the company needed it to sustain its growth. “The software’s architecture was limited, and its cost was too high,” says Frederico Mol, technology director at Kotchergenko.

Since the software license was about to expire and the company was experiencing a period of notable growth, Mol decided to look for another supplier that could offer a high-quality product capable of being integrated with other internal systems and at a reasonable cost. Mol explains that the company needed to integrate the systems that perform standards-based verification procedures of equipment with its main software.
