PITTSBURGH, Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- From a 3D automotive
radar system to electric Hyperloop transportation to a nonprofit
conquering food security through automation and artificial
intelligence, more than 500 startup companies around the world are
leveraging the ANSYS Startup Program to create and deliver
lifechanging innovations. Since the program's inception in 2016,
558 startups have joined the program — taking their ideas and
businesses to the next level using ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS)
solutions.
Simulation helps companies innovate faster because it allows
engineers to quickly identify key design enhancements, validate new
ideas and go to market sooner. The ANSYS Startup Program gives
low-cost access to ANSYS' leading suite of engineering simulation
products to startups around the world — lowering the barrier for
entrepreneurs to use simulation to bring innovative products to
market faster.
"The companies in our Startup Program are industry pioneers
often on the leading edge of innovation," said Sin Min Yap, Vice
President, Global Corporate Strategic Initiatives at ANSYS. "ANSYS
makes simulation both affordable and accessible to these companies
— enabling them to make key advancements in diverse
industries."
"ANSYS and finite element simulations allow us to perform
in-depth analysis of our Hyperloop developments, including
mechanical and magnetic behavior of our active magnetic levitation
system and fluid dynamic behavior of our aerodynamic propulsion
system," said Daniel Orient, Chief Technical Officer &
Co-founder of Zeleros, a Spanish startup developing electric
hyperloop transportation. "Simulating and analyzing our results
before prototyping empowers Zeleros to reach goals on the first
attempt instead of building additional prototypes, resulting in
significant cost and time savings."
"The ANSYS Startup Program provided us with affordable access to
leading simulation technology that is uniquely suited to our field
— high resolution 77-GHz automotive radar chipsets," said
Frank Zhang, CEO of Andar
Technologies Pty Ltd. Australia-based Andar Technologies is
developing next-generation, 3D imaging automotive radar. "In a
highly competitive and fast-changing industry, the use of fast and
accurate electromagnetic simulations with ANSYS for our mm-wave
radar system performance is essential to bringing our product to
market in a timely and cost-effective way. ANSYS enables us to use
accurate virtual prototypes with goal-driven optimization to reduce
our need for physical prototyping—helping us save hundreds of
thousands of dollars in fabrication runs and ultimately save years
of development time."
foodRev brings food security to the needy and is using ANSYS to
optimize how food temperature is monitored. "At foodRev
our main day-to-day function is connecting food donations with the
needy and we're building hardware to monitor the temperature of
food during transit," said Gregory
Kielian, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of foodRev.
"With support from the ANSYS Startup Program, we are designing and
optimizing antennas for our Bluetooth Low Energy
food-temperature-monitors."
A producer of miniaturized electric propulsion systems for Nano-
and small-satellites for in-space propulsion,
ENPULSION uses ANSYS to simulate thruster components and
optimize thermal design. "Our thrusters require precise temperature
control in a space environment, but testing in real thermal vacuum
chambers is cost, time and resource intensive. ANSYS enables us to
simulate thruster components in changing thermal environments at a
fraction of the cost," said David
Krejci, Chief Technology Officer at ENPULSION. "The pre-seed
phase is a crucial time for any startup and ANSYS enabled
significant cost savings during testing that will be redirected
toward production."
