Industry Innovations
Sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions are now a strategic initiative in most industries. To generate cleaner energy, design more efficient vehicles, reduce polluting emissions, create biodegradable material or increase recycling, companies around the world in a wide range of industries are implementing programs that support regional and worldwide environmental initiatives. Examples come from automotive, construction, energy and industrial equipment industries.

Automotive 
| Generally considered one of the largest contributors to pollution (green-effect gas emissions), the ground transportation industry has pioneered the widespread use of engineering simulation to continually reduce its environmental footprint, with remarkable success over the last decade. The automotive sector is facing even bigger challenges to revolutionize technology by moving toward HEV and EV technology in a fraction of the time required to fine tune the traditional powertrain. Innovative automotive companies are widely adopting engineering simulation to change environmental constraints into green opportunities. |

Construction
| Comfort based on temperature and moisture, whether in homes, offices, sports arenas or other buildings, is seen as an important element contributing to global climate change because of the huge demand for energy required. Even though green building is a common aspiration, very few are willing to relinquish cool, fresh offices in summer and warm houses in winter. A good understanding of airflow and thermal flux often reveals simple, robust and cost-effective solutions that reduce a building's carbon footprint as well as enhance occupant comfort. |

Energy & Environment
| For centuries, energy production has been both success and failure. The rapid consumption of fossil fuels has reduced the available quantity of these materials and has likely had an impact on the environment. The industry has sounded a call for smarter use of existing resources, spurring investigation into unlimited sources of renewable energies. Achieving these new goals of satisfying increased demand and generating cleaner energy requires change. Tomorrow’s energy leaders are using engineering simulation to fine tune existing processes and to develop new sources of energy that are both reliable and affordable. |

Industrial Equipment & Rotating Machinery
| Turbines and rotating equipment are critical in the power, aeronautic and marine industries. Because of the large amount of energy production involved, any tiny efficiency improvement can translate into huge savings for the company and a major reduction in the environmental footprint without dramatically changing the generation process. Optimizing performance while guaranteeing robustness is a delicate exercise, for which engineering simulation has become a mandatory tool. |
