ANSYS Simulation Data Management Solution Drives MANN+HUMMEL's Automotive Designs
PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) is helping MANN+HUMMEL to access and reuse
historical engineering simulation information for speeding the creation
of innovative automotive designs. The family-owned German company has
licensed ANSYS®
Engineering Knowledge Manager™ (EKM™) technology, which manages the
huge amount of data generated by computer-aided engineering (CAE)
activities.
One of the world's major automotive suppliers, MANN+HUMMEL faces
data-related challenges as its simulation teams are distributed around
the world and need to archive and access the computational fluid
dynamics information they generate. The company uses CFD software from
ANSYS in various areas such as the design of elements for air, fuel and
oil filtration for modern fuel-efficient engines. Fluid flow simulations
quickly calculate vital parameters such as pressure loss and filtration
efficiency.
"Our organization chose ANSYS EKM because of its powerful simulation
process, data management and collaboration capabilities," said Dr.
Martin Lehmann, head of Simulation Filter Elements at MANN+HUMMEL. "We
have engineers in Europe and India who frequently need to collaborate in
real time while performing CAE analyses. The capabilities of ANSYS EKM
enable us to share simulation data very effectively across multiple
locations. The product's extensive data management capabilities make it
straightforward for our engineers to organize and track multiple
versions of files that are created during a typical design and analysis
cycle."
"As product development organizations realize the value of engineering
simulation, they use it more and more — and so the need to manage
simulation data and processes becomes more important," said Dipankar
Choudhury, vice president of corporate product strategy and planning at
ANSYS. "Apart from enabling archiving and collaboration, ANSYS EKM helps
organizations optimize the design workflow through more effective use of
engineering simulation tools. This can result in a wide range of
improvements, including enterprise standards for work procedures,
consolidation and automation of best practices. MANN+HUMMEL is realizing
these benefits with its use of ANSYS EKM."
