At school when I was twelve I had to decide what kind of school I was going to, so I went
to the technical school and I became a fine mechanical engineer.
I still do like engineering after twenty-eight years.
Hydrauvision is very flexible and versatile because we make a lot of different products--hydraulic
power packs, winches, we have a service department that refurbishes pumps and motors. We do service
on chemical and power plants, and we have special engineers that come and install the
equipment at a customer's site and make sure it works correctly before he leaves.
We have to comply with rules and regulations, especially because we do a lot of offshore
things.
Our customers-- mostly offshore and petrochemical firms--expect quick response and high-level
quality and dependability and reliability of our product.
…they tell us, "Well, can you do it in this time? We need it by the end of January tested
and installed."
There's always a challenge. Technical problems are challenging but they are fun to solve.
It’s easy to draw and design in 3D with Solid Edge. The quicker you are the cheaper

you can get because we can draw quickly with it. We are cheaper and get more orders.
Simulation helps us get quick calculations done so we know in our design stage if parts
are strong enough
When I'm almost finished with the 3D product, Luk takes over and makes it into a good model
for Femap. Where simulation ends, Femap goes further.
When it's ready, then we do the final test, the load test.
some of the objects are too big to make a prototype of it. It's much too expensive.
We trust the program.
there's not much time to make prototypes and invest in that. You have to make the real
thing very quickly
The prototypes were made in a virtual world. The first product is the end product. what
I see on my screen is what's really going to be there.
