PITTSBURGH, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- From improving
automotive engine systems to studying the formation of aortic
aneurysms to developing more innovative skis, the winning entries
of the annual ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) Hall of Fame competition
highlight how engineers are solving complex challenges with ANSYS
Pervasive Engineering Simulation solutions across various
industries.
The contest gives users the opportunity to showcase their use of
ANSYS engineering simulation technology to solve complex problems
with a high degree of accuracy. The submissions were divided into
three categories – corporate, startup and academic.
Corporate winners:
- Delphi Technologies is a leading provider of advanced vehicle
propulsion solutions. Engineers used ANSYS software to perform
virtual measurements of a fuel injection nozzle sprayer to ensure
performance stability and reduce emissions for gas-direct injection
engines.
- Lucy Electric enables the safe and reliable distribution of
energy to homes and businesses worldwide through high-performance
medium voltage switchgear for utility, industrial and commercial
applications. With ANSYS engineering simulation, Lucy Electric
reduced the number of prototypes and expensive test shifts during
the development process of switchgear splitter plates.
- Peraso Technology is a fabless semiconductor company
specializing in providing products for the mobile sector of the
wireless consumer electronics market. The company used ANSYS
technology to ensure thermal performance of the tightly packed
electronic systems within a dongle.
Startup winner:
- Volute, Inc, develops conformable tanks to power vehicles that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution. With ANSYS
software, engineers subjected a virtual tank to a fire to ensure
its structural integrity.
Academic winners:
- Fondazione Toscana "Gabrielle
Monasterio" coupled clinical and patient data with ANSYS to
help clinicians better understand the blood flow within aortic
aneurisms so they can determine aneurism growth and bulge
formation.
- University of Florence
researchers at HTC Group used ANSYS software to understand the
multiphysics phenomena involved in turbine combustion to contribute
to the design of future low-emission aeroengines.
- Lucerne University of Applied
Sciences and Art coupled ANSYS thermal and mechanical
simulation technologies to help improve the manufacturing process
for composite skis. The use of simulation for ski manufacturing can
save costs by reducing the number of physical prototypes and help
explore the effectiveness of completely new and unconventional
approaches in ski design.
"We are continually inspired by how customers like these take
our engineering simulation solutions and create bold and powerful
innovations that can revolutionize industries," said Matt Zack, vice president, corporate marketing
and business development, ANSYS. "These best-in-class winners
demonstrate how simulation can be used in every stage of the
product lifecycle to improve product performance and achieve
success more efficiently and affordably."
