 ANSYS software is an effective tool in simulating the function of the spine. Contact elements
are extremely useful in modeling the complex configuration of components that touch one
another. Nonlinear capabilities of the software are critical in accurately representing the
material properties as well as behavior of the artificial disc and surrounding cartilage,
ligaments and muscle tissue. Such powerful finite element modeling and analysis technologies
are essential in studying the impact, stresses and loading in various parts of the spine. Simply
put, our work could not have been done as quickly and accurately any other way.

Engineering Simulation Focused
ANSYS remains uniquely committed to the core
engineering simulation technologies, which set it apart
from others in the CAE industry. ANSYS solutions
are unmatched in terms of the functionality and
power necessary to optimize components, subsystems
and systems. By deploying ANSYS solutions at
various stages of product development, many leading
organizations are leveraging digital design performance
information to make timely decisions. Working with
customers, technology partners and research
institutions, ANSYS delivers the most robust, reliable
and open simulation solutions solutions that meet
the ever-growing needs of organizations worldwide.
Customer Focused
Fueling ANSYS vision and strategy is the feedback and
input of the companys growing base of customers,
which includes 93 of the top FORTUNE 100 industrial
companies. In turn, ANSYS commits more than 20
percent of the companys revenue to research and
development the highest in the CAE industry. This
investment allows ANSYS to deliver on its vision by
developing and delivering the most innovative and
powerful engineering simulation solutions with
unparalleled depth. Strong and reliable customer
relationships have enabled ANSYS to develop easy-to-
use software solutions that align with the customer
process not forcing the process to fit the solution.
Many of ANSYS industry-focused applications were
driven by actual customer applications.

 The ANSYS difference
ANSYS is leading the evolution of CAE tools and technologies, delivering customer value by enabling
companies to improve product development and processes.

ANSYS is committed to developing simulation solutions from mechanical to computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) that illustrate realistic and accurate modeling and simulation of components, subsystems and
systems. Replacing hardware prototyping and testing, ANSYS solutions drive product designs from concept
to reality, providing an engineering simulation system for a fast, efficient and cost-conscious information-
based development process.

The most prestigious companies in the world turn to ANSYS for the companys history of developing
and delivering the most reliable engineering simulation solutions solutions that are integrated, modular
and extensible.

Integrated
As the need for engineering simulation becomes
a driving factor to ensure company success, more
and more companies are realizing the importance of
integrated solutions. ANSYS is focused on delivering a
next-generation simulation system that encompasses
multiple tools built to work together and be integrated
into a customers development process.
Because the interaction among multiple physics allows
users to simulate subsystem and system performance
accurately and reliably, ANSYS has developed
synergies among all technologies that can be deployed
throughout all stages of product development. By
combining industry-leading modeling (meshing) and
simulation (solver) technologies that capture the
behavior of multiple physics and the effect of product
environment, ANSYS provides more than a point-
solution. In addition to plug-in-level integration with all
computer-aided design (CAD) packages, ANSYS
delivers a fully integrated engineering simulation
system that fits seamlessly with customer product data
management (PDM) backbone and other upstream/
downstream applications.
Modular
ANSYS is focused on delivering a modular simulation
system that is easy to use and able to meet customer
needs. Many customers begin by installing ANSYS
up-front simulation tools developed for designers
and engineers to simulate components with
behavior governed primarily by single physics, such
as stress or thermal. As the design matures from the
early phases into final verification, there is a need
for coupled-field or multiple physics interaction
simulations, which are required to model and simulate
subsystems and systems. This modular architecture
makes ANSYS solutions not only affordable, but
also easy to develop, test and maintain. In addition,
modular solutions are a relatively low-risk investment
and can expand as value is demonstrated within
a company.
Extensible
As the need for engineering simulation becomes
commonplace, organizations require solutions that
can be tailored easily to meet industry- and
customer-specific needs.
To address this, the ANSYS technology platform
uses industry-standard programming and scripting
languages that allow ANSYS out-of-the-box solutions
to be tailored quickly into industry solutions by
ANSYS partners and customers. The benefits of
deploying industry solutions are well understood
by ANSYS customers. Additionally, customization
enables capture of design rules and corporate
knowledge, resulting in improved productivity. The
extensibility and customization of ANSYS core
technologies and out-of-the-box solutions allow
ANSYS technology and service partners to create
better value for organizations.
extreme temperature variations and improved office comfort by using
ANSYS CFX software to perform thermal and air flow analysis of a new
office complex. ANSYS CFX software enabled the designers to provide
results at a high level of accuracy in time to impact the building design.
ANSYS product offerings provide ideal tools in early product
development for conceptual simulation-based design and were
instrumental in the success of developing the iGen3 digital printing
system. Also, we utilize ANSYS as one of our primary analysis tools
for advanced simulation, particularly in multiphysics applications
where multiple physical factors must be evaluated. In typical product
development programs at Xerox, simulation-based methods using
these types of predictive tools have definitely helped to reduce the
number of prototype testing iterations, each costing tens of thousands
of dollars and weeks of time. In the end, development time and costs
are reduced. But more significantly, our high-quality standards are met
and time to market is shortened in developing innovative winning new
products such as the iGen3. This has enabled Xerox to grow top-line
revenue and increase market share.

 Driving design
from concept to production
For many companies, developing products and
improving processes were placed on the back burner
as efforts were devoted to cost cutting and maximizing
profits. But todays corporations have a new sense
of urgency about delivering innovative, high-quality
products to market faster to gain a competitive edge.
Leading companies are re-evaluating their fixed,
sequential and hardware-driven development pro-
cesses and replacing them with processes that are
simulation-driven, information-based and flexible
driving designs from concept to production.
Many of these customers are challenging ANSYS
to innovate even faster so they can improve their
products and processes with automated and
integrated simulations. This is what drives ANSYS, its
strategy and its vision.

With ANSYS CFX, we were able to design a fan in only one month where it would have
taken at least three months using the traditional build and design approach. The key to
achieving these results was the use of CFX for turbomachinery design and analysis.
