Welcome to ANSYS Advantage!
This issue of ANSYS Advantage focuses on sustainable design — illustrating how companies cost-effectively develop products that meet environmental guidelines. Feature articles include the contribution of engineering simulation to designing cleaner engines, developing renewable energy projects, decreasing overall energy use, architecting environmentally friendly cities, and improving monitoring equipment. A series of articles addresses how ANSYS software has been applied to system-level simulation in the wind industry. The publication also showcases the design of a ”flying car,” improving parts of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and enhancing convergence in ANSYS CFD software.
