PITTSBURGH, April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
fourth consecutive year, ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) congratulated two
teams competing in the BAJA
SAEIndia all-terrain vehicle (ATV) development contest by
presenting them with an Engineering Simulation award. Team Nemesis
from the College of Engineering at Pune University and Vellore Institute of
Technology's Team Kshatriya successfully leveraged ANSYS simulation
for their individual ATV designs. Teams don't typically have the
time or funds to build multiple prototypes, so employing
engineering simulation fosters increased design reliability and
performance at a low cost, within tight deadlines.
Specifically, Team Nemesis used ANSYS®
Mechanical™ to analyze its vehicle's suspension
components, chassis, gearbox casing and brake pedal to reduce the
weight of its ATV while ensuring maximum strength. Also taking
advantage of ANSYS Mechanical, Team Kshatriya focused on
incorporating a lighter and stronger alloy for its roll cage and
used computational fluid dynamics technology to optimize the
performance of its ATV components as a system.
"ANSYS instituted the Engineering Simulation award in 2010 to
recognize student competition teams and organizations who take
advantage of simulation to optimize their designs, whether it's an
ATV or formula-type race car," said Murali Kardiramangalam,
academic program director at ANSYS. "These contests are crucial to
facilitate learning simulation outside of the classroom and by
providing software, training and support to these teams, ANSYS is
helping to nurture the next generation of innovative
engineers."
BAJA SAEIndia is a national
competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
This year's event was held at NATRIP in Pithampur, Indore,
India, with 327 teams officially
registered and only 125 teams qualifying for the final race.
