Volkswagen Motorsport shattered the time record at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with their first-ever, fully electric race car, the I.D. R Pikes Peak — a next-generation race car developed with ANSYS simulation solutions. Volkswagen Motorsport engineers conducted complete virtual drive tests of the entire race and optimized the battery cooling system with minimal weight and aerodynamic drag loss.

View this on-demand webinar to learn how VW Motorsport used ANSYS Fluent to design and optimize the battery pack for the race’s extreme performance requirements. An optimal design helped VW win the race and break the record for electric vehicles by a full 15 seconds!

Quintessence Yachts partners with luxury automotive brands to apply sports car design to powerboats. To market its AM37 model, the company uses the high-tech, virtual reality product configurator ANSYS Theia-RT. Potential customers can explore and experience custom lighting, materials and color options in an immersive, “on-the-water” environment.

As user experience and shared brand or product perceptions effectively dictate purchasing decisions, exceeding customers’ expectations in a cost-effective manner is an imperative for manufacturers. Because design trends change so rapidly, a lengthy development cycle may produce outdated products. To optimize time to market, product stakeholders must improve their efficiency in both product and process design to deliver first-time-right products. New sophisticated quality and visualization tools can help predict manufacturing variation and its impact on perceived quality at an earlier stage, when issues can be addressed with minimal cost. In this white paper, discover how preliminary quality assessment is becoming a must-have in current design processes — for a more streamlined product development lifecycle, with a shortened lead time from concept to production.

Today, car manufacturers and their suppliers are facing a real challenge: designing attractive laser headlamps that will illuminate the road without blinding drivers and pedestrians. Validating the safety of these headlight systems using physical prototypes would require millions of miles of night-driving testing and cost-prohibitive investment.

Simulation is the only option for adequately assessing how a headlight design will perform under numerous road, weather, lighting conditions. Engineers can perform virtual tests in greater numbers and at faster speeds, while reducing development time and prototyping costs.

Altaeros has developed a tethered aerial platform called the “SuperTower” as their first commercial product. The SUperTower delivers high-speed mobile broadband to hard-to-reach rural communities. Read this case study to learn how Altaeros used ANSYS Fluent to perform computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, leveraging cloud computing resources through ANSYS’ partner Nimbix, to model dozens of different operating conditions.

In its efforts to redefine the SUV, Bentley employed ANSYS’ integrated, optical simulation solution for virtually testing automotive performance under real-world conditions. Bentley designers used ANSYS SPEOS to virtually visualize the interior and exterior of the car and make decisions regarding shapes, materials and colors, and ANSYS Theia-RT to evaluate their design under variable lighting conditions.

Our company uses ANSYS HFSS extensively to make rapid design iterations and evaluations of novel structures to optimize the configuration of our antenna products. The accuracy and flexibility of the tool allows us to solve problems from small-scale PCB layouts to patch antennas to significant subsets of our electrically large terminals. ANSYS Optimetrics software, HPC packs and distributed solvers have been particularly instrumental in helping us to meet our tight product development schedule.

This white paper explores the i-VISION project, which partners academia, aerospace and ANSYS to develop virtual reality technologies to accelerate the design of “human-centered” aircraft cockpits. These technologies are also applicable to other transportation industries that face the same issues and questions related to cabin design and the interaction between the cabin interface, environmental conditions and human operator.
