4 For HEV/EV development, such as cell temperature distribution and flow field in a battery pack, the ANSYS integrated platform enables researchers to simultaneously evaluate individual components and subsystems under various physical conditions — fluids, structural stress, thermal, electromechanics and more — as well as the interactions between them at the system level. Airplane stall prediction can pose a difficult problem, even for sophisticated CFD tools. In designing a roadable aircraft, Terrafugia developed a virtual blade modeler that plugged in to Fluent and created additional capabilities to model the aircraft's propeller. This way, the aircraft could be reshaped as required. Choosing the right CFD software also means choosing the right software company, one in which developers and support teams have the expertise and knowledge to create tools that enable robust and accurate solutions. One of the world's largest pools of simulation experts, the ANSYS team serves a comprehensive range of industries and applications. We provide the assistance and training needed to ensure success in any simulation challenge you face. Some applications require the use of software products that have traceable and well-established quality assurance processes. ANSYS has a deep and longstanding commitment to quality. We were the first organization to receive ISO 9001 certification for design analysis software, and we maintain this certification year after year. With a goal of extending off-highway vehicle filter, engine and component life, Donaldson Company leveraged Fluent to develop and optimize an air pre-cleaner. Physical tests showed that, as predicted by the simulation, the pre-cleaner separates 99 percent of contaminants 20 microns and larger — contributing greatly to air filter service life.
