Facing an increasingly competitive, threat-filled environment, aerospace, and defense companies must digitally transform to deliver radical innovation.
Ansys multidisciplinary simulation solutions create the digital thread, which supports the flow of data throughout the product life cycle. From ideation and design to manufacturing and operations, Ansys A&D solutions help accelerate digital transformation and streamline development.
Warfighters must remain ahead of the threat across all domains of operation: land, sea, air and space.
Engineering teams are challenged to increase asset operational availability to meet increasing mission capable rate targets and accelerate modernization to deliver more advanced capability to warfighters faster. And leaders must be cost-informed across the entire asset lifecycle while simultaneously addressing a growing personnel skills gap.
Over 90% of aerospace and defense executives intend to digitally transform to meet these challenges, yet only 10% have made impactful progress. Closing this gap represents a significant — and untapped — competitive advantage for warfighters. The faster it can be closed, the greater the advantage becomes.
Physics-based simulation accelerates the impact of digital transformation.
With Ansys Discovery, you can explore ideas, iterate and innovate with unprecedented speed and realize a 40% increase in ideation scenarios analyzed.
The unequalled depth and breadth of Ansys software coupled with its unmatched engineered scalability, comprehensive multiphysics foundation and adaptive architecture sets our technology apart. Achieve a 60% increase in iterative designs analyzed.
As new methods of manufacturing and materials are being implemented, products are becoming more complex. Products must be lighter and smaller and work harder than ever. Multiphysics simulation lets you explore all the real-world physical interactions a complex product may encounter during use. These interactions can impact product performance, safety and longevity. Fluid forces, thermal effects, structural integrity and electromagnetic radiation can all affect performance. If you isolate these forces and examine them separately, you may not get an accurate prediction of product behavior. Ansys Multiphysics solutions can help you examine these effects in any combination, achieving the highest fidelity solution to eliminate reliability problems and design safe and effective products.
Ansys additive manufacturing simulations help you to optimize your design for 3D printing, eliminating trial and error and gives you confidence that the part can be successfully built the first time. Reduce safety test cycles by 36% and cut additive manufacturing prototypes by 28%.
Ansys Twin Builder improves predictive maintenance outcomes by enabling the creation, validation and deployment of a physics-based digital twin to optimize your sustainment and operations.
To meet stringent environmental regulations and combat rising fuel costs, aerospace companies are embracing emissions reduction and sustainability. With ANSYS simulation solutions, customers can design more fuel-efficient aircraft with improved engine performance, less weight and reduced drag. As a result, customers can save billions of dollars in fuel and eliminate hundreds of thousands of tons of toxic emissions — with each 1% gain in efficiency.

Inatel and Embraer uses Ansys HFSS electromagnetic field simulation software to evaluate the performance of alternative antenna installation designs. The scores of antennas extending from the surface of today’s jet airliners create drag that adds to fuel consumption.
Rising operational costs and the need to generate revenue from existing assets are driving the digital transformation of MRO operations.
Ansys helps customers accelerate this transformation through the deployment of platform-agnostic, physics-based digital twins.
These virtual copies of real-world assets deliver previously unavailable performance insights that facilitate predictive and prescriptive maintenance and maximize cost savings.
The digital transformation of operations reduces maintenance costs and improves cycle times of critical processes. With fewer new aircraft programs, rising operational costs and increased scrutiny around program efficiency, A&D companies need to optimize MRO operations to reduce costs and generate revenue.
A digital twin mirrors the real-world operation of an asset, detects performance issues and allows for scheduled predictive maintenance.
One of the newest and most exciting frontiers in simulation is the concept of digital twins. By using product-mounted sensors, companies can collect operating data from the field in real time, and use that information to create an exact replica of the working product in a controlled virtual space. By studying how the simulated product model performs under real-world conditions, companies
can flag any performance issues, schedule predictive maintenance, reduce downtime and minimize warranty expenses.
