Read the story about the people behind the apps, how EDRMedeso helps to solve customer pains and how you can contribute.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Mechanical productivity tools or \u201capps\u201d are some of the products from the Technology and Innovation group managed by Frode Halvorsen (CTO) at EDRMedeso. In the team we also find Fredrika Dahlberg (Innovation Manager) and Magnus Gustafsson (Senior Application Manager and Developer) who has driven the app initiative at EDRMedeso for many years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">It all started back in 2016 when Ansys opened for third party licensed apps with the release of Ansys R17 and the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.ansys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ansys Appstore<\/a> where you could find and download the apps. We (EDRMedeso) had experimented with some small free and paid apps for some time, but this new solution opened new possibilities that we embraced, says Frode.<\/p>\n<figure class=\" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic \" style=\"max-width: 1286px;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/0_App-banner100.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/0_App-banner100.png\" alt=\"\" data-image=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/0_App-banner100.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"1286x100\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"63492b45537d810e1e2af868\" data-type=\"image\" \/>Many of the small apps are the offspring from project work where a certain feature was missing, like the \u201cCSV Plot\u201d app that allows plotting of external results on the model. This app is one of the <strong style=\"white-space-collapse: preserve;\">most downloaded apps of all time<\/strong>. With my background from industry where bolts, welds and reporting are a common simulation pain, I started to develop the tools I was missing when doing project work. This embryo that started as a \u201chobby\/side project\u201d has now become our three bestselling apps, says Magnus. As a developer it is fun to be challenged by the users to implement innovative ideas to improve the apps. You may have your own ideas on what to do next but also hearing it from the customers gives you confidence to continue.But how do you take an idea and scale it to be a success you may ask? We turn to Fredrika to hear her view of innovation at EDRMedeso.<\/p>\n<h4>Driven by you, the customer<\/h4>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The aim of the Technology and Innovation group is to help our customers by adding new products or vendors to our portfolio that bring value to our customers, Fredrika says. When we work with innovation at EDRMedeso we start with customer needs and develop a product or onboard a vendor that best solve this need. The apps are a great example of such project \u2013 Magnus found that something was missing and realized that more than him had a need for certain features and started the project. Today that project has turned into a great product with partners around the world!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">And the customers\u2019 feedback is still in focus, Fredrika continues. It is exactly one year since the re-launch of the apps and during this period we have received a lot of feedback from our customers. Valuable input that has been the guiding star for the latest updates, or \u201cAPPdates\u201d that we have started to call them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">We have summarized the latest appdates below, if you want to see the <strong>webinar<\/strong> you find the <strong>recording <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/channel\/3c570ye0wd?wchannelid=3c570ye0wd&amp;wmediaid=kie6iywq2u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. At the bottom of this article, you also find a link to our app home page where you can read more about the apps and use the contact form if you have any questions or feedback to us.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What our customers are saying about the apps<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">During 2021, EDRMedeso sent out a survey among the users to ask for their feedback on using the apps. The result was encouraging to read as it is a confirmation that we are on the right track providing solutions to the common simulation pains such as \u201cTime to market\u201d and \u201cHuman errors\u201d when dealing with complex bolted and welded assemblies that includes code assessment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic \" style=\"max-width: 1720px;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1_RearAxle.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1_RearAxle.png\" alt=\"\" data-image=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1_RearAxle.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"1720x671\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"63492b708ad6f5012a5f2b89\" data-type=\"image\" \/><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">&#8220;Visualization of results can be helpful to designers and good for presentations for customers.\u201d (<em>Director of Engineering, Aerospace and Automation Engineering Company<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic \" style=\"max-width: 1823px;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2_Silo.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2_Silo.png\" alt=\"\" data-image=\"https:\/\/edrmedeso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2_Silo.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"1823x931\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"63492b86dbb24d4ea8d1d186\" data-type=\"image\" \/><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u201cThe hot-spot stress results are dramatically faster to achieve using the app vs. generating without the app.\u201c (<em>Mechanical Engineer, Material Handling Company<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What our customers wants to have in the apps<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">In the same survey in 2021 we also asked the customers if there are missing features or enhancements they liked to see.
