PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- New multi-year agreement aids Cummins in efforts to create more
sustainable engines, drives enterprise-wide collaboration and
supports initiatives related to PLANET 2050
- Cummins engineers are using Ansys' SPDM platform and
physics-based digital twins to speed digital transformation
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) is using Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) in its
research related to improving emissions profiles, performance and
other attributes of diesel and alternative fuel engines. Through a
new multi-year agreement, Ansys will aid Cummins engineers in their
development of new engine designs, empower enterprise-wide
collaboration and support initiatives related to PLANET 2050 —
Cummins ambitious environmental sustainability strategy that aims
to reduce greenhouse gas and air emissions.
Through the collaboration, Cummins leverages Ansys' tools and
next-generation simulation process and data management (SPDM)
platform to expedite the development of innovative, sustainable
engines — significantly maximizing torque and horsepower, enhancing
thermal efficiency and improving fuel economy, resulting in
significant customer savings and reduced greenhouse gas
emissions.
Incorporating SPDM will help Cummins engineers achieve
significantly faster throughput on simulation engineering
workflows, make product design decisions much sooner, drive tighter
collaboration among globally distributed teams and increase
productivity to create advanced engines with more favorable
environmental attributes. Leveraging physics-based digital twins
will help engineers make confident product health management
decisions that reduce the cost and risk of unplanned downtime and
improve product development processes.
"Cummins continues to support its customers by investing in
R&D to ensure next-generation engines are more fuel efficient
than ever. A key R&D partner for more than 25 years, Ansys has
accelerated our digital transformation and ingrained simulation
into the DNA of our company, enabling us to rapidly and accurately
deliver engines with improved emissions profiles and other
environmental attributes," said Wayne
Eckerle, vice president, Research and Technology, Cummins
Inc. "This new agreement introduces leading-edge tools which will
help us develop a shared knowledge infrastructure, explore a larger
design space, virtually validate products, improve engine quality
and reduce development costs."
"During these challenging times, the importance of R&D
increases the drivers of demand for simulation. Innovative
companies like Cummins continue to leverage simulation as a key
enabler for upgrading R&D technologies, redesigning engineering
processes and reengineering product development environments," said
Shane Emswiler, senior vice
president and general manager, Physics Business Unit at Ansys.
"Ansys takes pride in collaborating with Cummins engineers to boost
their R&D efforts and help achieve their PLANET 2050
environmental sustainability goals by reducing lifetime greenhouse
gas from newly sold engines and from engines in the field."
