"In the semiconductor industry, new technology and processes in your products can offer a significant competitive advantage. Unfortunately, testing and verification of wet wafer processing equipment and processes takes a significant amount of effort and resources. It is imperative to put forth our best effort in every part of the design cycle to get to market sooner. FLUENT allows us to pinpoint the optimal solution and avoid a lot of guess work. Thanks to FLUENT, we can also better interpret and understand results in comparison to test data."
- Tom Mancuso, MSME, P.E. Senior Mechanical Engineer, Akrion
"Our customers demand the solution of increasingly complex tasks for industrial robots. Cycle times should be as short as possible and still guarantee the highest precision and reliability. Hence, the consistent use of smoothly communicating 3D-CAx-tools is a vital part of our development process, enabling us to achieve these ambitious goals. By using ANSYS Workbench, we can offer our clients perfect, highly optimized systems at a reasonable cost."
- Bernhard Thaler, FEA simulation manager, Robo-Technology
"We routinely depend on FLUENT CFD software to select and optimize designs well before prototypes are built. In alleviating the need for iterative hardware builds, this streamlines the design process and thus, significantly reduces development costs and minimizes time-to-market."
- Elias Panides, Research Scientist, Xerox Corporation
"ANSYS Icechip software leads the package thermal analysis market due to its easy-to-use interface and intuitive model generation. With the interface to the ECAD tools we use to electrically design packages and the adaptive meshing, ANSYS Icechip creates a compact yet accurate model with extremely fast solve times.
Our engineers are successfully adopting ANSYS Icechip beginning with the conceptual design stage. This software allows us to confidently determine the feasibility of a new design concept. It provides us with feedback on how to design chips and how to plan product design efficiently with its compact and accurate models. The highly accurate predictions during design verification plays a revolutionary role in improving our package thermal analysis skills."

"FLUENT is a very effective tool in our design-by-analysis process. The use of FLUENT software has improved our understanding of complex flow and heat transfer in our products, which would otherwise be difficult to determine and visualize. This insight minimizes our use of costly experimental prototypes. In a recent project, we easily saved over $10,000 in redesign costs by using FLUENT in the design process."
- Bill Edwards Staff Engineer, BTU International
"FLUENT has been an instrumental tool in the product development of our consumer goods. This software has enabled us to visualize air flow patterns in our electronic hard disk drive applications that otherwise would have been very difficult to attain experimentally. Thus, using FLUENT as a design optimization tool has allowed us to increase the functionality of our disk drive filter devices by 50%."
- Ricardo Lira, Ph.D., Product Development Specialist, 3M Company
"Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling has become an integral part of the design process at Novellus. By using FLUENT to model design concepts for new reactors, we are able to optimize designs before we ever have to cut one piece of metal. This reduces our risk, and decreases our time to market, at the same time providing a lower cost solution for our customers."
- Craig Stevens, Vice President of New Product Development, Novellus Systems, Inc.
"We are using FIDAP to model complex heat transfer problems that arise during ultra-rapid heating of thin films. The FLUENT CFD code has proven to be extremely robust and flexible, allowing us to easily implement modifications to correctly model subtle, yet important, phenomena within our simulations. By using Fluent's software packages, we're benefiting from significant savings in experimental effort and cost, thereby accelerating our process development cycles."
- Tolis Voutsas, Ph.D., Manager, LCD Technology Group, Sharp Labs of America, Inc.
