DBS Studio approached us with a pre-production engineering challenge: to validate and optimize their modular sukkah frame for mass production. The design needed to guarantee structural integrity against real-world wind and rain conditions.
The design process presented two potential paths to achieve the required durability. The first was to increase the profile size and wall thickness using the specified material. The second was to explore a stronger, more advanced alloy that could allow for a more streamlined and lightweight profile. To provide a definitive, data-driven answer, we constructed a digital twin of the structure for high-fidelity simulation.
The simulations modeled the performance of both design paths under identical load conditions. The data was unequivocal. It demonstrated that in this application, material properties had a greater impact on rigidity than physical size. The advanced alloy, even at a reduced diameter, showed superior resistance to the simulated forces.
Our final recommendation was to proceed with the stronger alloy. This decision enabled a lighter, more efficient design that increased overall structural strength by 18%. The simulation process provided the necessary foresight to select the optimal path, ensuring the product was not only durable but also efficient in its use of materials.
"The simulation insights were invaluable, and the detailed presentation made everything clear. We’re excited to collaborate on future projects."
