Maximizing Flow and Velocity New product designs start to incur costs from the very beginning of the development process and, if all goes as planned, generate revenue only when they make it to market. This fundamental aspect of product development economics is painfully obvious to any company whose products languish on the drawing board for too long — racking up development costs instead of recouping expenditures in the marketplace. Fluid dynamics problems are becoming more complex as product designs and processes grow in sophistication. Your company already faces shorter product development schedules, which force your engineers to perform numerically large simulations quickly. But product and process integrity is as important as speed. The high fidelity and accuracy of our CFD solutions provide you with the best of both worlds. Therefore, you can do more in less time, with fewer resources than ever before — while still upholding your performance promise. For complex tasks such as geometric meshing, ANSYS offers a high level of automation and user definition that speeds analysis. Customized technologies for specific industries — including turbomachinery and external aerodynamics — streamline common simulation tasks. ANSYS: An Abundance of Customer Applications Engineers in a diverse range of industries are using CFD solutions from ANSYS to manage even the most numerically large and complex simulations, driving high-velocity innovation within their companies. For example, automotive engineers — including those on elite Formula 1 ™ race teams — take vehicle aerodynamic performance to new levels, gaining dramatic speed and fuel efficiency improvements. Our software helps automotive engineers with a range of other challenges, including internal combustion engine improvements, emissions control device development, thermal studies of underhood systems, and cooling and ventilation systemdesign for car interiors. In industrial environments, engineering teams choose ANSYS software to analyze fluid dynamics in and around components such as pumps, valves and turbines. Not only do these engineers focus on developing new products and processes to improve output and performance, they also examine equipment retrofits, erosion patterns, and other causes of equipment failure, stresses and fatigue — with an eye toward reducing long- term maintenance costs. In the aerospace industry, our CFD products are supporting initiatives to build lighter, more efficient, safer and more survivable aircraft. ANSYS solutions have emerged as the industry standard for CFD analysis, thanks to a unique combination of speed and accuracy. ANSYS CFD can solve a wide range of automotive applications, including wind buffeting and engine optimization. In motorsports, accuracy can be the difference between winning and losing.
