PITTSBURGH, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorsport
company, ORECA, is boosting the performance of its race cars
through a new agreement with ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). ORECA will
leverage ANSYS' industry leading engineering simulation to speed up
development time while optimizing design for high performance and
precision ‑ saving the manufacturer time and money.
ORECA will take advantage of ANSYS' high-performance
computing (HPC) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for
aerodynamic testing. ANSYS' CFD software will enable ORECA to
simulate air flows around, in and through its car designs under a
range of conditions, including transient simulations where changing
conditions are modeled over time. The combination of HPC and CFD
tools harness the power of thousands of computers, enabling its
engineers to quickly go through many design iterations and make
necessary changes before physical testing.
"Reliability and accuracy are crucial when it comes to
developing successful cars," said David Floury, Technical Director
of ORECA. "ANSYS is a key player in the motorsport industry and
their solutions provide our engineers with the necessary tools to
evaluate and optimize a range of product design ideas across varied
operating conditions, leading to enhanced product performance and
integrity and ultimately winning championships. We are already
working with ANSYS solutions for our future new car, the ORECA
07."
"Having partnered with automotive leaders for years, we
understand this business and continue to establish simulation best
practices that are beneficial to the entire industry,"
said Sandeep Sovani, strategy director of global automotive
industry at ANSYS. "ANSYS' systematic approach to simulation
enables these best-in-class organizations to stay ahead of the
competition. It's rewarding to see these organizations – whether
they are on the racetrack or the highway – leveraging ANSYS
technology to develop cutting-edge winning products."
