Who is the protagonist of this interview? 🎊 It’s 'POWER AUTOMATION'!! 😀

We learned about the story of implementing MeshFree and its utilization feedback through Senior Manager Geun-Taek Gong, who exudes a dignified charm from head to toe. Shall we meet him now?

Q. Please introduce yourself briefly.

I am Geun-Taek Gong, a senior manager working at the company-affiliated research institute of 'POWER AUTOMATION,' which develops and manufactures the 'i-Series,' a hybrid parts assembly robot that is a key component for intelligent unmanned processes.

Q. What tasks do you perform in your current team?

At the company-affiliated research institute, I develop hybrid parts assembly robot equipment and am responsible for system design and research.

Q. What was the background for adopting MeshFree?

MeshFree was introduced to conduct structural analysis (static and modal analysis) of frames. Our equipment, being high-speed robotic systems, is significantly affected by vibration characteristics. In the early development models, creating the equipment without structural analysis posed many difficulties.

Especially to manage vibrations, we had to add weight reinforcements to the frames, which caused issues in the manufacturing process and costs. To address this, we adopted MeshFree for structural analysis, which allowed us to reduce costs and weight when actually producing the frames. Since adopting MeshFree, we have developed two new models, both achieving excellent results..

Q. Why did you choose MeshFree among various CAE products?

We spent a lot of time considering which CAE program would be the most efficient. Eventually, we chose MeshFree due to its specialized analysis methods, accessibility, and versatility. For developers, time is money, so MeshFree, which is easy for anyone to use, was the best choice.

Highly accessible and versatile

Making it easy for anyone to use

Q. How is MeshFree utilized at POWER AUTOMATION?

We use it to ensure stability and cost-effectiveness by performing static and modal analyses on frames, which are key components in equipment development.

Q. What changes have occurred since the adoption of MeshFree?

In the early stages of development, we tried to solve problems after product fabrication without analysis tools. This led to several production processes and trial-and-error, consuming a lot of costs. However, since adopting MeshFree, we can save time with rapid analysis, allowing for comprehensive reviews and producing products with secured stability by easily analyzing issues.

Q. Would you recommend MeshFree to other companies?

MeshFree provides immediate data and easily expresses complex shapes without using meshes and with minimal data. It also produces results that are easy for operators and developers to understand, enabling efficient analysis without needing high-end computers or significant time investment. Therefore, I recommend MeshFree to companies looking to improve work efficiency.

Quick and easy analysis with minimal data

Results easy for anyone to understand

Recommended for improving work efficiency

Q. How would you describe MeshFree in one word?

MeshFree is the 'Lionel Messi' of analysis tools.

It resolves incomplete elements with outstanding strengths

and instills confidence in its analysis.

I associated MeshFree with the soccer player Lionel Messi. Messi is renowned for his exceptional skills and creativity in soccer history, captivating football fans worldwide.

I believe the strengths of MeshFree are similar to Messi’s. Messi’s greatest attributes are his free movement, excellent ball control, and fast attack speed. These qualities align well with the strengths of MeshFree, leading me to connect the two.

Moreover, Messi is revered as a god in football, almost religiously. People often address their shortcomings, irrationalities, and insecurities through religious faith.

Similarly, MeshFree's characteristics help designers and developers resolve their incomplete elements and gain confidence, which is why I describe MeshFree as Lionel Messi in one word.
