| “By giving people access to product data when they need it in a form they can readily use, PLM solutions — within which engineering simulation plays a crucial role — serve as a unified conduit of data exchange and efficient workflow for a wide range of product-related processes, including green lifecycle design.” |

“The simulations run on a modified propeller geometry predicted that the efficiency would increase by 1 percent to 1.5 percent, and physical experiments confirmed that this was, in fact, the case. This seemingly small improvement has the potential to reduce fuel costs by several billion dollars if applied across the board to the world’s commercial shipping fleets.” |

“The N-R1 supermileage vehicle is expected to perform at an extremely high level of efficiency: transporting four adults 200 miles at 70 miles per hour on only one gallon of fuel. In developing the supermileage vehicle, we used software from ANSYS to determine drag coefficient for multiple versions of the N-R1 vehicle body shell, saving significant time and expense compared to building and testing numerous physical prototypes”

| “The nuclear site at Hanford, Washington, houses approximately 60 percent of America’s radioactive waste. Engineering simulation results were close enough to physical experiment to give Bechtel confidence in the ability of the fluid flow model to provide pass–fail judgments in rating the performances of the pulse jet mixers (PJMs) in the facility. Bechtel uses ANSYS technology to model the many different vessel designs. Use of fluid dynamics in this application can potentially save a significant amount of time and money that otherwise would be spent on additional physical testing prior to beginning actual waste processing.” |

| “As a technology startup with far-from-unlimited funding, COLUMBIA POWER must be capital efficient. By focusing its development efforts on simulation and using physical testing judiciously as a verification tool, COLUMBIA POWER is moving forward in the development process much faster than would be possible using traditional development methods.” |
