"Sensitivity studies with ANSYS DesignXplorer VT enable us to quickly pinpoint key variables that have the greatest influence on dam behavior and safety. Response surfaces and other plots are particularly beneficial in showing the sensitivity of structural behavior to multiple parameters. This helps guide evaluations and refine the scope of investigations so that only required field information needs to be gathered. As a result, the cost of field investigation programs can be reduced and, sometimes, eliminated. Moreover, we have a deeper understanding of the behavior of the dam and more confidence in the analysis. Regulators also have greater confidence in our evaluation when they can see results displayed clearly for a range of scenarios. In this way, ANSYS DesignXplorer VT allows us to better leverage our decades of field experience in designing and studying dams and other structures worldwide."

"Without using FLUENT software from ANSYS to simulate the pressure forces, we would not have been able to provide the evidence needed to show the insurance company that the damage to our client's building was caused by wind from Hurricane Katrina, and not water. The simulation was instrumental in helping our client successfully settle their case.

"Prior to ANSYS CFX analysis, it had been impossible to understand completely the physical process occurring in the dynamic separator. Along with the support we received from ESSS, we're now able to effectively evaluate "what if " scenarios, supplement our operators' knowledge, and help our managers make decisions regarding costs and benefits of equipment and process modifications."

"Development of numerical simulation techniques that are able to reproduce measured behavior is a key issue of our research work. Products from ANSYS provide a powerful simulation tool for our structural applications that require innovative approaches. The ANSYS Parametric Design Language is used as environment for implementation of developed techniques that surpass the range of standard problems. The combination of an advanced FE core with user-programmed algorithms is necessary for our research and development work."
