PITTSBURGH, May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS
(NASDAQ: ANSS) and GE Aviation are deepening their long-standing
strategic relationship by establishing a new joint technology
collaboration agreement that will help solve future engineering
challenges and drive product development processes in a world of
smart products and big data. Both organizations recognize the value
of cutting-edge research and are jointly aligned in their desire to
spur innovation by creatively applying simulation to the
manufacturing and industrial space.
ANSYS and GE Aviation will work together over a range of
applications to establish forward-looking analysis techniques that
leverage expertise from both parties. In the first project under
this agreement, ANSYS and GE Aviation will investigate industry
data to create new engineering best practices associated with the
accurate analysis of some of GE's core industrial products.
Projects may include simulation of system-level product
performance, enhanced by live data, to predict overall system
efficiency and maximize product life.
GE currently leverages ANSYS engineering simulation technology
across its product portfolio to create best-in-class products
ranging from aircraft engines to high-fidelity MRI scanners. This
new joint agreement highlights the commitment of both organizations
to stay at the forefront of innovation and productivity.
"We have employed the power of ANSYS simulation for over two
decades to confidently design and analyze our products and quickly
bring them to market," said Christopher
Lorence, general manager of engineering technologies at GE
Aviation. "This new strategic agreement will allow us to work more
closely with ANSYS and push the boundaries of engineering even
further."
"GE is an industry leader that has built its reputation on
providing world-class products and services like advanced jet
engines and power systems," said Jim
Cashman, ANSYS president and CEO. "Our long-standing
relationship with GE Aviation provided a strong foundation for this
new collaborative agreement, and we're confident that the resulting
insight will further solidify GE's status as leader in innovation
in the products and markets it serves. We are excited to be even a
small part of the future success of GE."
