shape design strategies for hybrid/electric powertrain solutions
and industrial applications
- Ansys will support digital transformation within the Schaeffler
enterprise by standardizing workflows to improve product
development efficiency and manage material waste
PITTSBURGH,
Feb. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) and
the motion technology company Schaeffler AG announced they are
extending their agreement for an additional three years. Schaeffler
will rely on Ansys to standardize product development workflows,
reduce waste from physical prototypes, and lower the company's
overall carbon footprint through digital transformation.
Schaeffler manufactures high-precision components
and systems for drive train and chassis applications as well as
rolling and plain bearing solutions for many industrial
applications. Ansys and Ansys Apex Channel Partner CADFEM Germany
GmbH will continue to provide customer support for Schaeffler as
the company hones its digital engineering practices. The extension
of the partnership will now see Ansys multiphysics solutions Ansys
Mechanical™, Ansys Fluent™, Ansys Electronics™, and Ansys
Motor-CAD™ with enhanced computing capabilities through
high-performance computing, applied across all divisions.
As a preferred simulation provider, Ansys will
strengthen Schaeffler's digital thread by democratizing simulation
and improving material intelligence across engineering disciplines.
For example, including data about material composition in the
research and development process will result in more innovative and
sustainable products.
To do this, Ansys will contribute its
industry-leading solutions to Schaeffler's framework for digital
transformation, which consists of four pillars: digital workplace,
cyber-physical equipment (digital factory), digital product
lifecycle, and smart products.
"Schaeffler is pursuing ambitious goals for its
products when it comes to the strategic topic of sustainability,"
said Uwe Wagner, CTO at Schaeffler
AG. "We aim to integrate the reduction of CO2 emissions
directly into the product development process. Innovative
simulation tools play an integral role here. Together with strong
partners like Ansys, we will drive the digitalization of our
R&D processes and innovations towards series production."
Schaeffler recently used Ansys solutions to
optimize the performance of their electrolyzers — a device
that extracts hydrogen from water — to advance hydrogen gas as an
emission-free, renewable energy resource.
"We are looking forward to continuing to help
Schaeffler meet its sustainability goals and democratize simulation
software across the business," said Walt
Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer
excellence at Ansys. "Digital transformation can't happen
overnight, but through dedication and by leveraging Ansys
simulation solutions, Schaeffler has already reduced material waste
and emissions while improving efficiency. This is just the
beginning of what Ansys and Schaeffler can accomplish
together."
