PITTSBURGH, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Metso, will
develop the next generation of its flow control equipment faster
and more economically thanks to a new agreement with ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS), expanding its access to engineering simulation software and
services.
Simulation is becoming more pervasive and is being adopted
across the entire product lifecycle. ANSYS simulation enables Metso
to move beyond creating complete digital prototypes and expand the
boundaries of simulation upfront in the development process into
digital exploration. This agreement gives Metso access to ANSYS'
multiphysics simulation platform to design and develop a range of
products serving the oil and gas, pulp and paper and process
industries. Metso will also have flexible license access and expert
services to enable unrestricted collaboration to digitally model,
simulate and test its innovative products.
Early design decisions lock in close to 80 percent of a
product's development costs. With ANSYS' digital exploration
capabilities, Metso can test hundreds of possible concepts early in
the design phase and quickly assess a number of product performance
requirements. Metso designers and product engineers can also
identify optimal combinations while eliminating outlying designs to
develop solutions that improve safety, minimize downtime and ensure
trouble-free operation of customers' processes – saving time and
money.
"For more than 90 years, we have been providing superior valves
to our customers in oil and gas, pulp and paper, refining and
chemical industries. Our customers benefit from simulation through
increased performance, safety and reliability of our products,"
said Jukka Borgman, director of
technology development, Metso. "By using simulation early in the
design process, we can design and test iterations in hours, instead
of days or weeks. This is a huge benefit to our product
development, enabling us to cut down the number of laboratory
tests, while increasing performance, safety and reliability without
compromising on product quality or impacting our bottom line."
"Metso is widely recognized for its product quality and advanced
flow control technologies. They are responsible for developing some
of the most efficient and effective flow control, mining and
aggregate products in the world," said Rob
Harwood, global industry director, ANSYS. "These complex
machines demonstrate how engineering simulation is at the very
heart of the design of the next generation of industrial products.
We are confident our simulation platform will further enhance
Metso's product performance and their development processes by
supporting complete digital prototyping and enabling them to do
even more digital exploration upfront in the design process."
