More of the Same is Not an Option

• Existing products already operate with a very fine robustness margin.

• More of the same is not an option.

• Breakthrough innovation is required!

With Innovation Comes an Exponential Increase in Design Complexity and Options

“Strict emissions standards coupled with customer demand for fuel efficiency has led to a complex control system architecture.”

Wayne EckerleVP Research & Technology

Existing products are becoming more complex Disruptive products are being developed outside of incumbent design practices and constraints

To bring an energy efficient disruptive product to market, Nebia needed to analyze hundreds of thousands of variables in its shower head design

Simulation is the Only Practical Solution for Large and Small Businesses to Address the Rise in Complexity

Simulation is the only way “…to address the unsustainable time and cost of physical testing requirements of increasingly complex, software driven systems”

UK Center for Connected & Autonomous Vehicles

When simulation was introduced into the design process “suddenly engineers could study 12 design iterations per day instead of spending a week on one physical test of a single prototype”

Reducing Development Time

“Using ANSYS Fluent software and Gompute HPC cloud resources, we reached the accuracy level our clients required for our turbulence and heat transfer calculations. Thus we have been able to implement real modifications on their equipment and thoroughly optimize our designs in a shorter period of time.”
