Changing the way a company moves from an idea to a physical product is not always an easy task, especially as designers first have to develop trust in the results provided by any new tool.
This article describes the multibody simulation of a switch disconnector and its validation with experimental tests, undertaken by LOVATO Electric for the purpose of conducting a detailed evaluation of a potential new tool to design the mechanical part of its electrical devices.
This type of “field test” of potential new tools is also valuable for skills and knowledge transfer.
