PITTSBURGH, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS), the global industry leader in engineering simulation
software, announced today that Flowserve, a leading provider of
flow control products and services for the global infrastructure
markets, signed an enterprise license agreement providing broad
access to the ANSYS® portfolio and technology
specialists. By combining the power of ANSYS simulation technology
with the Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, Flowserve is one of
the first companies to harness the power of digital twins –
complete system virtual physical prototypes – to better serve its
customers through improved product quality and performance,
enhanced development productivity, optimized maintenance and
reduced overall costs and risks associated with unplanned
downtime.
By tapping into ANSYS' industry-leading portfolio of engineering
simulation software, Flowserve can now use the digital twin to
analyze real-time operational data to provide better insight and
faster decision making while maximizing machine efficiency.
Flowserve will also be able to analyze the performance of products
in real-world operating conditions, make informed predictions about
future performance and reduce the cost and risk of unplanned
downtime.
Flowserve is pushing the boundaries of simulation beyond the
product development phase by utilizing digital twins in a live
operating environment. Earlier this year, Flowserve demonstrated
the use of the digital twins with one of its flow control systems
at the Internet of Things event, LiveWorx. As a leader in
developing and manufacturing advanced pumps, valves and seals
servicing the oil and gas, energy and process industries, Flowserve
is expanding its use of ANSYS solutions to quickly optimize and
verify product designs, shorten development cycles and create
innovative world-class products.
"Our customers expect Flowserve to bring value added products
and services to their business. This strategic agreement
better positions Flowserve to continue delivering offerings
that enable our customers to operate more efficiently and
effectively," said Keith
Gillespie, chief strategy officer, Flowserve. "We
expect our utilization of IoT technology
and ANSYS simulation capabilities to increase the value
we provide when our customers need advanced flow solutions."
"IoT is changing the way companies approach the entire product
lifecycle from development, testing and manufacturing to operations
and maintenance," said Eric Bantegnie, vice president of systems
business unit, ANSYS. "Flowserve is extending its industry
leadership position using simulation-driven product development and
creating additional value for its customers across the full product
lifecycle by bringing together the industrial internet and ANSYS'
best-in-class engineering simulation software."
