ANSYS UNVEILS RELEASE 17.0. Next generation of leading engineering simulation solutions

BENGALURU, India - Jan. 27, 2016 - PRLog -- BANGALORE, Jan. 28, 2016 – Engineers across disciplines – from structures to fluids to electromagnetics to systems – will realize step-change improvements in the way they develop products using the newly released ANSYS^® 17.0. This next generation of ANSYS (http://www.ansys.com/)  industry-leading engineering simulation solutions set the scene for the next quantum leaps in product development, enabling unprecedented advancements across an array of industry initiatives from smart devices to autonomous vehicles to more energy-efficient machines. The most feature-rich release in the company’s 45-year history, available today, delivers 10x improvements to product development productivity, insight and performance.

Simulation has been identified as one of the key pillars of the next industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0. With the advent of the Internet of Things all products are getting smarter, new advanced materials are enabling lighter, stronger and more sustainable designs, and additive manufacturing enables users to 3-D print anything they can imagine. Unlocking the power of these trends is impossible without simulation tools’ ability to virtually explore these vastly increased options to arrive at the winning designs of tomorrow.

“Companies are under relentless pressure to create top-line growth and increase savings,” said Jim Cashman, president and CEO of ANSYS. “Innovation, time to market, operational efficiency and product quality are key factors that contribute to this business success. ANSYS is focused on helping customers improve their critical business metrics and leapfrog the competition by improving their product development process through engineering simulation. When we set out to develop the next release of our simulation platform, we challenged ourselves to improve our customers’ product development process by a full order of magnitude, or 10x.”

“Hyperloop Technology is accomplishing safe and reliable ground transportation at close to the speed of sound,” said Josh Giegel, vice president of design and analysis, Hyperloop Technologies. “ANSYS 17.0 technology offers deeper insight into our designs and enables us to make the necessary improvement to our development process, which in turn will help us realize the Hyperloop concept.”

“ANSYS has been an acknowledged leader in enabling simulation-driven design over the past several decades, and ANSYS 17.0 release is a major step forward in terms of bringing together all of the ANSYS modeling and simulation capabilities required to achieve the vision of an integrated yet open enterprise product innovation platform driven by behavior modeling and simulation,” said Peter Bilello, president of CIMdata (http://www.cimdata.com/en/). “As industry moves ahead over the next decade to realize the vision and promised benefits of Model-Based Systems Engineering in the context of mega-trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 and the Circular Economy, ANSYS' product portfolio and M&S platform is well positioned to meet the multi-domain requirements for developing complex cyber-physical systems with ever increasing levels of software and electronics content.”
