In the energy industry, ANSYS CFD tools can be applied to a wide range of combustion, emission and power generation problems. Software from ANSYS has been leveraged to design innovative coal mine ventilation systems, next-generation burners and furnaces, pollution control devices, oil drilling machinery, piping systems, and spent nuclear fuel processing technologies. From new product design through fatigue testing and maintenance reduction initiatives, CFD solutions from ANSYS play a critical role in defining our energy future. As they explore novel composite materials and new designs for components such as landing gear, aerospace engineers must ensure that they are also maximizing aerodynamics, which leads to optimal range, efficiency, speed and maneuverability for all types of aircraft. Researchers at universities and other organizations around the world turn to trusted ANSYS CFD solutions to support breakthrough applications in exciting new areas. Their fluid dynamics analysis of human blood vessels, jet fuel chemistries, lean-burn combustors, next- generation fabric manufacturing and other areas is pushing the current boundaries of engineering simulation — and driving new levels of CFD analysis. ANSYS is there to meet their specialized needs — as well as the customized fluid dynamic analysis demands of your business. In designing the yoomi baby bottle warmer with our tools, Intelligent Fluid Solutions cut two years out of its development schedule (compared to build- and-test methods) and consequently saved tens of thousands in costs. The final step quickly crunched through thousands of possible geometric alternatives to find the best design. The result: yoomi engineers managed to double the performance of the initial prototype while building just four physical models. There are no shortcuts in developing life-saving, precise medical devices — such as stents to keep blood vessels open — but there is a way to shorten process. Biomedical engineers turn to our software to explore issues such as cardiovascular flows and stresses, drug delivery systems and their travel paths through the body, and the velocities inside inhalers and other respiratory devices. The structural integrity of any building is only as good as its individual parts — which all contribute to how the building will perform under normal, or extreme, conditions. ANSYS CFD has helped explore innovation in iconic landmarks related to wind patterns and erosion, HVAC systems, roof drainage, and a plethora of other factors.
