Fast-Tracking Autonomous Vehicles, Drones and Robots via Engineering Simulation - White Paper

white-papers-thumbnail

Fast-Tracking Autonomous Vehicles, Drones and RobotsAs demand grows for autonomous machines, only engineering simulation offers the means to launch them into the marketplace quickly and cost-effectively — without sacrificing safety or reliability. Via simulation, thousands of operating scenarios and design parameters can be virtually tested with precision, speed and cost economy. ANSYS simulations ensure software reliability, safety analysis in compliance with ISO 26262, and robust radar systems which are critical components of autonomous vehicles.

Breaking Story on an Automotive Power Module - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

All cars now depend on electronics that must work reliably. When a new power steering module failed under testing, engineers at Integrated Micro-Electronics were faced with spending eight months using trial-and-error to determine the cause and find a workable solution. Instead they used ANSYS structural capabilities including contact analysis, transient thermal analysis, and linear and nonlinear thermomechanical buckling analysis, to develop a reliable module in half the time

Balloon-Borne Vehicles Provide a Bird’s-Eye View - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

It costs hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to launch a satellite into a geosynchronous orbit where it hovers above a point on earth for observation or communications. Now, World View’s balloon-borne Stratollite vehicles can carry large payloads to altitudes up to 95,000 feet and park them there for weeks or months at a cost orders of magnitude less than a satellite or other comparable technologies. World View engineers saved an estimated eight months and about $600,000 by using ANSYS simulation software to determine the right design before building and testing a prototype.

Aiming High - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

Microsatellites represent a new opportunity to provide connectivity for the Internet of Things, as well as capture images and data from space, at a relatively low cost — but the challenge is getting them into orbit in a timely and cost-effective manner. By making satellite launches both routine and affordable, startup Vector is opening up the “space race” to a new generation of small and midsized businesses that can deploy entire swarms of tiny satellites. With its risk-taking engineering strategy, Vector is poised to disrupt the satellite industry, one launch at a time.

Fast-tracking Safe Autonomous Vehicles - White Paper

Autonomous vehicles are threatening to disrupt the automotive, aerospace and industrial equipment industries with the emergence of self-driving cars, drones and mobile autonomous robots. They promise to drastically reduce accidents, minimize congestion, bring mobility to the immobile and perform mundane or hazardous tasks in a fraction of the time required by human-controlled vehicles. This opportunity is open to traditional industry players as well as new entrants, particularly from the high-tech sector. The race to market is on. The critical path engineering challenge to be overcome is demonstrating compliance with safety requirements. Research has shown that for a self-driving car, this could take between 8 billion and 11 billion miles of road testing. Because physical testing is clearly not a practical solution, autonomous vehicle makers are turning to “simulated miles driven, fl own or maneuvered” as an alternative means of performing the required testing in a reasonable timeframe. This white paper discusses how ANSYS is building the industry’s only comprehensive, open and confi gurable solution to validate vehicle performance against safety requirements, leveraging best-in-class high-fi delity sensor models and open- and closed-loop simulations to validate the embedded software responsible for perception, localization, motion planning and motion execution.

Antenna Simulation for Commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Wireless Networks in a Warehouse Environment - White Paper

Commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) show great promise in applications spanning transportation and delivery, entertainment, agriculture, telecommunications and defense. The transportation and delivery industries show great early promise to bring the revolutionary gains of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) to bear on low-cost and efficient package delivery. This white paper explores diverse communications and engineering problems involving commercial UAVs for delivering consumer merchandise, and describes solutions from ANSYS to these manifold problems. 

Amplifying the Benefits of Acoustic Simulation

The sound of a product will directly affect the user experience, making acoustic engineering a hot topic ― especially for transportation and consumer goods companies. Sound can be pleasant or unpleasant, a product benefit or an annoyance. It can also create a strong emotion and reinforce the brand identity of a product. But it can be difficult to quantify and predict the quality of a product’s sound in advance. Today, Ansys VRXPERIENCE Sound offers designers the powerful capability to listen to a simulation of their products’ sounds, based on a virtual prototype.
