ANSYS software has been used in many aspects of automotive climate control to obtain maximum comfort by optimizing flow, increasing equipment life, and providing for thermal and acoustics distribution while minimizing pressure and energy loss. ANSYS software is also used in the commercial Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration industry to obtain these same goals.
ANSYS CFX computational fluid dynamics software is a proven optimization tool for rotating machinery including automotive blowers and heating/cooling fans and has been used extensively to study air quality and comfort factors.
