PITTSBURGH, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With ANSYS
(NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation in the driver's seat, Ferrari raced past
the competition to secure the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship
drivers', teams' and manufacturers' titles in the GTE Pro
class.
Ferrari secured its 17th endurance world title this
past weekend during the Sao Paulo 6 Hours at Interlagos race.
Gimmi Bruni and Toni Vilanderhad
secured the drivers' title, while the Amato Ferrari-run AF Corse
squad took the team title for a third consecutive year.
"Ferrari has once again proven the power of engineering
simulation – when combined with great products and great driving,"
said Gilles Eggenspieler, senior product manager for the fluids
line at ANSYS. "We're honored to count them among our customers and
are even more excited to see what the team does in 2015."
ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions help Ferrari
maintain best-in-class aerodynamic performance, including reducing
overall drag, maximizing downforce and optimizing its complex brake
cooling systems – essential elements in keeping the car running
properly. As a result, Ferrari engineers have extensively automated
the simulation process and run multiple design iterations to
improve speed, reliability and safety.
"When races can stretch from six to 24 hours, car reliability is
absolutely crucial," said Enrico
Cardile, responsible for aerodynamics, thermal management
and air conditioning at Ferrari. "With ANSYS simulation, our
engineers can quickly evaluate a range of product design ideas
across varied operating conditions, leading to enhanced product
performance and integrity."
