PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- From the
intricacies of the human heart to the inner workings of a wind
turbine, the winners of the fifth annual ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS)
Hall of Fame image competition highlight some of engineering's most
complex design challenges. The Hall of Fame contest gives ANSYS
users the chance to showcase their simulation and engineering
skills through the production of eye-catching simulation images and
animations. For the first time, 2013 submissions were divided into
two categories, corporate and academic. This change allowed ANSYS
to select multiple "best-in-class" winners from both
categories.

2013 corporate winners include medical device manufacturer
Admedes Schuessler GmbH, engineering design and analysis company,
Apollo Offshore Engineering, and FEAC, an engineering consultancy.
Admedes Schuessler engineers leveraged ANSYS fluid−structure
interaction tools to improve their understanding of an aortic
stent. Apollo leveraged the power of the ANSYS suite to optimize
its design of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO)
unit. The FEAC R&D team coupled ANSYS products to improve its
ability to achieve reliable results in designing superconducting
accelerator magnets.
Winners from the academic category are Moscow State Technical
University and the Foundation of Cardiac Surgery Development.
Moscow State applied ANSYS solutions to create a virtual wind
turbine, enabling the team to rapidly improve car design and reduce
emissions. The Foundation took a multiphysics approach in
simulating a bicuspid aortic valve condition, whose parameters are
sometimes impossible to measure physically.
"With each passing year, we receive more exciting and innovative
entries that push the boundaries of simulation," said Josh Fredberg, vice president of marketing at
ANSYS. "Submissions to the contest can actually provide valuable
insight into some of the most complex engineering design challenges
across a wide array of industries to improve products and
materials. We thank all those who entered the competition and look
forward to what next year's contest will bring."
Focused on multiphysics design, international entries in the
corporate category ranged from industry leaders in aerospace and
automotive to chemical and energy. Academic submissions featured
undergraduate, post-graduate and research simulation projects from
colleges and universities around the world.
