Simulation Allows Engineers and Athletes to Redefine What's Possible

Engineering Winning Performance

Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Performance

Advanced fluid flow simulation combined with human body and equipment dynamics help to dramatically reduce drag and deliver a winning competitive edge.

Biomechanics of Injuries

At extremes of performance, the risk of injury substantially increases. Simulation helps engineers and athletes safely push the boundaries of what is possible and explore how to engineer safety and protection into the equipment they use.

Structural Performance and Safety

Victory is dictated by performance on the day of competition. Equipment must perform without failure, enabling records to be broken and athlete safety ensured.

Applications

Simulation solutions from Ansys deliver a winning performance across a wide range of applications and sport disciplines. From enabling more efficient manufacturing of high-performance equipment with improved aerodynamics, weight, materials, safety and protection to the smart, connected technologies that power training and in-race performance.
