"CFD fits into our concurrent engineering strategy right back at the conceptual design stage and provides us with a powerful tool to improve our cars. Very quickly we found we could look at ten wing configurations rather than one."
- Dr. Pat Symonds, Technical Director, Benetton Formula I
"Since bushing wear rate is proportional to contact pressure, integrating these ANSYS values for non-uniform pressure distribution in the shaft/bearing contact provides a more accurate calculation of wear rate. By clearly showing the effect of misalignment loading on the wear rate of the bushing, ANSYS analysis helped guide design decisions in selection of bushing and shaft materials and surface finishes for a new model of fitness equipment. In this way, the predictive capabilities of advanced solutions such as ANSYS play a critical role in enabling Life Fitness to develop some of the most innovative and reliable equipment in the industry."

"As the world's most used CFD method, it clearly has better funding and development than any other package on the market. With such an extensive user base, the program is probably the best tested on the market as well and practically guarantees robustness for even the most difficult flow regimes."
- Peter Machin, Senior CFD Engineer, Arrows GP International Ltd.
"We found that ANSYS Inc., can provide the wide variety of powerful CFD modeling tools that we require to stay ahead of the competition. Their technical support is, by far, the best we have experienced since we started using virtual flow modeling as part of our analysis process."
- Chris Bell, Quicksilver World Water Speed Record Challenge, UK
"Finite-element analysis was indispensable in providing the level of data to rigorously study the protective performance of sports mouthguards, given the conflicting requirements of cushioning and support, the number of variables such as geometry, and impact force. In the future, it may also help to represent biomaterial behavior. ANSYS software was particularly well suited to handling these complexities. Contact elements were especially valuable in representing the mouthguard and teeth. Although surrounding soft tissue behavior is too complex to model accurately at this stage, ANSYS tools allowed substructure models to be combined into a single composite model as a flexible first approximation of the entire problem. The simulation provided insight into an important area of sports safety that, heretofore, was not as well understood nor exhaustively assessed."
- Niall Paterson, Department of Materials Engineering, The Open University
"To win at anything you have to surround yourself with the best. That is why we use FLUENT CFD software to visualize and analyze fluid flows such as air flowing over the vehicle or water flowing through the cylinder head. FLUENT is an integral part of keeping our race teams at their best."
- Joe Gibbs, NFL Hall of Fame Football Coach and Team Owner of Reigning Winston Cup Champion Bobby Labonte Car
"Speed is a concern of ours every step of the way. That includes learning to use new software. I was extremely pleased with the ease and speed that I was able to effectively use ANSYS software. I can now analyze powertrain components such as manifold or intake ports from CAD to solution in just one day. The accuracy and robustness of FLUENT, coupled with unlimited technical support from their Ann Arbor-based automotive team, were critical to the quick implementation of CFD, which is new to our industry."
- Charles Jenckes, Team Engineer, Gibbs Racing
