ANSYS Delivers the Future of Engineering Simulation

By Ajei Gopal, president and chief operating officer at ANSYS

For nearly half a century, engineering simulation has played a major role in product development. Advances in nuclear technology, aerodynamic vehicles and component miniaturization would have been impossible without the power of simulation. But for all those achievements, we believe we’ve only scratched the surface of simulation’s true potential.

With products becoming more complex every day—and consumer demands constantly increasing—companies are feeling unprecedented pressure to accelerate engineering and deliver differentiating products to win in the market. And, of course, they must do it with lean resources.

ANSYS is uniquely positioned to lead product development engineers through this maze of complexities. Our extensive portfolio of engineering simulation solutions is unrivaled in the industry, covering structures, fluids, electromagnetics, semiconductors, embedded software and systems. What’s more, each of our solutions is built on and refined over 45 years of real-world experience in helping to solve some of the toughest product problems across industries. No other company offers such a broad array of products to solve these complex challenges.

ANSYS’ customers are some of the most innovative on the planet, delivering breakthrough products that couldn’t even have been dreamt about just a few years ago. And they are expanding the use of simulation earlier in the design process to rapidly and inexpensively iterate on design alternatives to create optimized products that exceed the expectations of their users.

Our leading customers are also expanding the use of simulation into operations by creating digital twins—virtual representations of an operating device whose performance and productivity can be improved via simulation. Through the rich data created by digital twins, users can determine potential failure points and proactively account for them—reducing maintenance costs as well as decreasing unplanned product downtime to near zero.

Engineering simulation has the potential to fundamentally reshape the way that products are created and maintained. Likewise, it has the potential to transform engineers into something greater—they can become heroes in their organizations.
