Who We Have Helped
The integrated electronic-photonic workflow provided by Ansys to co-design and co-simulate Silicon Photonics and CMOS chips is an indispensable tool to speed up our design process and results in better chips with fewer errors and a shorter time to market
— Jinsung Youn, Research Scientist - Large-Scale Integrated Photonics / Hewlett Packard Labs
The speed and accuracy provided by OpticStudio has made us more confident about the full performance of our optomechanical designs. We’ve used Ansys Zemax, for over 15 years. We’re always pleased with the tools they present for helping optical engineers work together effectively.
— Milan Matela, Senior R&D Optical Designer / Meopta-optika s.r.o.
Because Ansys Speos allows us to use our 3D CAD product as an add-on, we can perform a simulation without sacrificing the accuracy. This is one of the key aspects we liked.
— Asami Yonezawa, Senior Specialist - Mazda Craftsmanship Development Group / Mazda Motor Corporation
This is finally a super easy way to solve CFD jobs in cloud.

This is not a competition, it is actually an opportunity to deliver what is expected of us in the near future.
— Hege Brende / CEO of Rainpower
We have been on CARE Business for one year and just recently renewed for another year. The major benefits we see are the prompt responses of the support team, which in combination with the Training Portal are very helpful ways to resolve issues and give good tips. The Weld and Bolt toolkit for Ansys Mechanical offers many possibilities and we are aiming to set up a simulation report template with the Report Generator app. Looking ahead, we are aiming to explore the compute power of CloudConnect and Rescale which also comes with the CARE Program. We are in the process of building an analysis team. We believe the partnership which comes with CARE will be an asset during this process as well as future initiatives.

The CARE Program has been valuable for us, providing additional resources and guidance when needed. It has been particularly helpful in instances where we've encountered more complex computational fluid dynamics problems. What we appreciate about the program is the support we've received when we've faced challenges. This has been useful in helping us keep our projects moving forward.
— Armin Parsian, Chief Mechanical Engineer / 1X Technologies
Ansys Granta Selector™ has given us more knowledge about the environmental impact of our products and where we should focus our attention in the development of new ones. Ansys Granta Selector also helped us to verify whether it is sustainable for us to gather used filters from customers to optimize the recycling process.
