PITTSBURGH, March 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Bull
Racing Formula One team continues to accelerate its performance
with ANSYS' (NASDAQ: ANSS) industry-leading engineering simulation
software. Through an extended agreement, Red Bull Racing Formula
One will leverage ANSYS' cutting-edge technology to optimize its
vehicle design enhancements and aiming to give the team a
competitive edge on the track.
During a race, aerodynamic design can be a major differentiator
to the performance of vehicles on a track. With limited physical
testing available and impending race deadlines, the use of
simulation in the aerodynamic design of the vehicle is vital.
ANSYS' computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and high-performance
computing (HPC) software enables Red Bull Racing to simulate air
flows around its vehicle designs under a range of conditions. This
enables the team to assess, select and optimize designs for
aero-critical components and assemblies, such as braking, cooling
and exhaust systems.
"Working closely with ANSYS to manage and deliver our extensive
CFD requirements has been a very successful partnership for us,
delivering real improvements in our turnaround time and accuracy of
simulation," said Nathan Sykes, head
of numerical tools and technologies, Red Bull Racing. "Virtual
simulation and analysis now makes up such a significant part of our
design process, it's essential to be working closely with the CFD
industry's leading software supplier – and certainly contributes to
our competitive advantage on track."
"We're excited to continue our ongoing collaboration with Red
Bull Racing and further enable the team to overcome increasingly
difficult design challenges," said Sandeep
Sovani, Director of Global Automotive Industry at ANSYS.
"Teams are always looking for a competitive edge, and simulation
provides it with cutting-edge, fast and reliable tools to validate
and optimize every aspect of a race car throughout the design
process with complete accuracy and confidence."
