Ansys Medical Device Engineering Simulation 

In Silico Medical Device Development

In silico approaches, powered by physics-based simulation, enable the medical device industry to accelerate innovation, dramatically reduce cost, shorten the regulatory approval process and maximize patient safety.

Accelerating Medical Device Innovation with Engineering Simulation

Whether lifesaving or improving quality of life, medical devices need to withstand the harsh conditions of the human body while operating as intended throughout their intended lifetime and without interfering with normal bodily functions. Ansys, part of Synopsys, provides the in silico technologies needed, such as computational modeling and simulation (CM&S), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins, to help the medical device industry bring safe, innovative devices to patients. By virtually testing devices, medical device manufacturers can iterate and optimize designs and determine how they will interact within the human body while testing for biocompatibility, MRI safety, fatigue performance, blood damage, and more.
