Cerrey SIMULIA Abaqus FEA Implementation for Boiler Design
Case study showing how Cerrey replaced manual calculations with SIMULIA Abaqus FEA to analyze boiler structures and thermal performance in-house.
Mexico-based boiler manufacturer Cerrey adopted Dassault Systemes SIMULIA Abaqus Finite Element Analysis to bring structural and thermal simulation capabilities in-house. The solution replaced slow hand calculations and third-party programs with 3D modeling that predicts stress, heat transfer, and deformation under operating conditions. Over three years the company reduced design time 12 percent, increased production output 10 percent, doubled project capacity, and generated $300,000 in labor savings while improving product quality.
Replaced manual and third-party calculations with integrated FEA for real-time structural and thermal analysis
Achieved 12 percent faster design cycles and 10 percent higher production output
Doubled project throughput from 6 to 12 concurrent cases without added headcount
Identified root causes of field defects such as burner fractures through transient heat-transfer simulation
Realized $300,000 in labor savings and improved competitiveness in global energy markets
