Aerospace Industry

Aerospace companies face the challenge of improving flight and spacecraft, and engineering simulation is playing a crucial role in overcoming these challenges.

From birdstrike analysis to miniature pumps designed for NASA spacecraft, CAE is critical during the development process. As one of the first industries to utilize computer-aided engineering, aerospace specialists use simulation for testing temperature fluctuations, acceleration loads and extreme vibration.

Because fast-paced change is the standard in all aspects of the aerospace industry, many aerospace companies have turned to ANSYS as a means of maintaining a competitive edge in the marketplace. By using ANSYS, aerospace designers can:

• Reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-market using advanced, accurate, robust, efficient, scalable, easy-to-use and easy-to-integrate computational fluid dynamics and FEA
• Reduce fuel requirements, extend range, increase cruise speeds and raise service ceilings
• Enhance passenger and crew comfort by improving cabin ventilation, heating and cooling
• Improve high-speed aerodynamics to develop cost-effective supersonic military applications
