ZF Wind Power Completes Calculations
90% Faster with PTC Mathcad
“With PTC Mathcad, I’m able to solve
calculation problems in one day,
compared to one to two weeks it takes
programmers using Microsoft Excel or
Visual Basic.”
“I have been doing things with PTC
Mathcad that people said couldn’t be
done.”
Bert Beirinckx, Senior Technology Engineer
Gearing and Gearbox Components
ZF Wind Power
ZF Wind Power is a globally established designer,
manufacturer and supplier of reliable, custom-built gearboxes
for multi-MW wind turbines with a power capacity ranging
from 1.5 to 6.15 MW.

ZF Wind Power Completes Calculations
90% Faster with PTC Mathcad
S o l u t i o n
• PTC solutions for engineering
calculations, 3D design, and data
management.
• With PTC Mathcad, calculations are
developed once, saved in worksheets,
and re-used
• PTC Mathcad’s “unit awareness”
ensures formulas are valid—even
when different units are used.
• Real math notation makes it easy to
understand and troubleshoot
calculations
• PTC Creo provides powerful 3D
modeling capabilities
• PTC Windchill automates workflow
and data management.
I n i t i a t i v e s
• Reduce repetitious work, leaving
team focused on engineering
problems
• Improve accuracy and repeatability
of complicated calculations
• Minimize tedious programming
tasks
• Create and modify complex model
geometry efficiently
• Automate data and workflow
management

R e s u l t s
• 90% faster – projects that took 3
weeks completed in just 1 day with
PTC Mathcad
• A small team creates standard
formulas leveraged by ZF Wind
Power engineers
• More readable equations make
errors easier to spot and fix
• Less time wasted troubleshooting
“commas and brackets” in
Microsoft Excel or Visual Basic
• Projects that took weeks now
modeled in a few hours with PTC
solutions
