capabilities — and without compromise. By reducing the overall time to a reliable solution, ANSYS fluid dynamics software empowers you to do more in less time with fewer resources than ever before. The reliable solution gives you the confidence to predict that your products will thrive, as designed, in the real world. With ANSYS engineering simulation, you can take product failure off your agenda, along with its consequences: profit loss, repair costs, fixed and variable operating costs from downtime, and myriad other expenditures that reverberate throughout the business. The damage can be measured in lost profits — millions per year — as well as in reputation, enough to send a company to bankruptcy. At the same time, you can build in product innovation and success, since our accurate, efficient tools leave more time for exploring design alternatives and optimizing features. You can leverage our best-in-class CFD technologies to confidently predict the real-world performance of your products and processes — and fulfill your most important customer promises. Engineers apply ANSYS CFD to optimize low-NOx burners for power generation, resulting in good flame quality and excellent run length with minimal downtime — not to mention reduced greenhouse gases. "We use ANSYS software because we need to speed up our development process for new products by speeding up all phases of design. With simulation we can investigate inside our products virtually, not physically, and look at detail that would be impossible to evaluate otherwise. We can improve the efficiency of our products by investigating small changes in parameters and spend less time than we would for creating a real prototype and testing." Matteo Cipelli Advanced Engineering COE Manager Lowara Srl The engineering challenges that Terrafugia had to overcome in designing its innovative Transition® "flying car" were formidable. ANSYS CFD helped the team to conduct virtual airflow and wing stall speed tests, critical in advancing the project to production prototype with a high degree of confidence in the design. Robust CFD tools are especially critical when testing is limited. In designing mixers for use in converting nuclear radioactive waste into storable materials, Bechtel National engineers needed sufficient confidence that their fluid flow model would provide pass–fail judgments. Our software enabled them to accurately predict just that. Courtesy John Zink Company.
