ANSYS Announces Winners of 2018 Hall of Fame Competition

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- From improving automotive engine systems to studying the formation of aortic aneurysms to developing more innovative skis, the winning entries of the annual ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) Hall of Fame competition highlight how engineers are solving complex challenges with ANSYS Pervasive Engineering Simulation solutions across various industries.

The contest gives users the opportunity to showcase their use of ANSYS engineering simulation technology to solve complex problems with a high degree of accuracy. The submissions were divided into three categories - corporate, startup and academic.

Corporate winners:

    --  Delphi Technologies is a leading provider of advanced vehicle propulsion
        solutions. Engineers used ANSYS software to perform virtual measurements
        of a fuel injection nozzle sprayer to ensure performance stability and
        reduce emissions for gas-direct injection engines.
    --  Lucy Electric enables the safe and reliable distribution of energy to
        homes and businesses worldwide through high-performance medium voltage
        switchgear for utility, industrial and commercial applications. With
        ANSYS engineering simulation, Lucy Electric reduced the number of
        prototypes and expensive test shifts during the development process of
        switchgear splitter plates.
    --  Peraso Technology is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in
        providing products for the mobile sector of the wireless consumer
        electronics market. The company used ANSYS technology to ensure thermal
        performance of the tightly packed electronic systems within a dongle.

Startup winner:

    --  Volute, Inc, develops conformable tanks to power vehicles that reduce
        greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution. With ANSYS software,
        engineers subjected a virtual tank to a fire to ensure its structural
        integrity.

Academic winners:

    --  Fondazione Toscana "Gabrielle Monasterio" coupled clinical and patient
        data with ANSYS to help clinicians better understand the blood flow
        within aortic aneurisms so they can determine aneurism growth and bulge
        formation.
    --  University of Florence researchers at HTC Group used ANSYS software to
        understand the multiphysics phenomena involved in turbine combustion to
        contribute to the design of future low-emission aeroengines.
    --  Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Art coupled ANSYS thermal and
        mechanical simulation technologies to help improve the manufacturing
        process for composite skis. The use of simulation for ski manufacturing
        can save costs by reducing the number of physical prototypes and help
        explore the effectiveness of completely new and unconventional
        approaches in ski design.

"We are continually inspired by how customers like these take our engineering simulation solutions and create bold and powerful innovations that can revolutionize industries," said Matt Zack, vice president, corporate marketing and business development, ANSYS. "These best-in-class winners demonstrate how simulation can be used in every stage of the product lifecycle to improve product performance and achieve success more efficiently and affordably."
