PITTSBURGH, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS) engineering simulation technology behind the steering wheel,
Ferrari raced past the competition to win the Manufacturers' and
Drivers' World Championship titles and the Team's Trophy in the FIA
World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Securing its fifth WEC constructor's title and twenty-fourth
overall, Ferrari uses ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
solutions to maintain best-in-class endurance-oriented aerodynamic
performance. With ANSYS, the engineers can maximize downforce,
minimize tire degradation and optimize airflow around the car to
keep critical components within the ideal temperature operating
ranges — essential elements for outpacing competitors.
"With race times lasting anywhere from six to 24 hours, speed
and reliability are critical factors for cars competing in the WEC
to achieve success and see the checkered flag," said Ferdinando Cannizzo, Ferrari Competizioni GT
technical coordinator. "ANSYS enables our team to quickly test
multiple configurations between each lap and provides accurate
insight — empowering our team to improve our speed and reliability
in real time."
"Our team has worked with Ferrari for more than 20 years and we
continue to be inspired by their drive for innovation and
excellence," said Sandeep Sovani,
director, industry marketing at ANSYS. "ANSYS simulation technology
combined with Ferrari's world-class products and drivers create an
unstoppable force on the track, we look forward to many more trips
around the track together."
