PITTSBURGH, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Ferrari Competizioni GT is leveraging
cutting-edge ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation software to
create next-generation vehicle designs that promise a substantial
advantage on the track. Through a new partnership agreement,
Ferrari Competizioni GT engineers are advancing the aerodynamic
performance of their elite race cars with ANSYS' industry-leading
engineering simulation software.
Every two or three years, the Ferrari Competizioni GT
engineering team pushes themselves to engineer an upgraded racing
GT within a 12-month window. Production efficiency is the formula
for their success and the team has historically used
ANSYS® Fluent™ meshing to deliver
cutting-edge turbulence models and solver technology to take their
cars' performance to the next level.
Adoption of the new Mosaic-enabled
Poly-Hexcore™ meshes greatly accelerated the team's simulation
process. The team leveraged automated workflows to cut hands-on
development time, use parallelization to create high-quality mesh
faster and solve in ANSYS Fluent more efficiently —
creating 3x more simulations without additional development time or
resources.
"Mosaic-enabled meshing is making a considerable impact on our
aerodynamics designs — letting us achieve improved accuracy using
far less cells and solving in half the time," said Ferdinando
Cannizzo, head of GT racing car development at Ferrari
Competizioni GT. "With Mosaic technology and the Fluent
end-to-end workflow, our team runs three times as many simulations
in the same amount of time and develops cars faster than we ever
could before."
"Ferrari Competizioni GT cars represent the pinnacle of racing
performance and we are proud to help them engineer new aerodynamic
designs to obtain more victories on the track," said Sandeep Sovani, director of Global Automotive
Industry at ANSYS. "Teams are always looking for performance
advantages and Mosaic meshing accelerates all stages of the
simulation workflow, answers design questions sooner to help
maximize production efficiency and supports tight developmental
timelines."
