Program Celebrated 9 Years In 2024

Developing floating wind turbines with Ansys

“Considering the requirements surrounding wind energy

and the complexities of the architecture as a whole,
product development would have been much more
difficult without the support of the Ansys Startup
Program.

Without the access to Ansys software needed to help

build advanced finite element models, it would just be
too much of a challenge for such a small team.”

Using simulation to build the first commercial space station

“Our experience with Ansys Mechanical and Fluent

has been very, very positive

The interface has been easy to learn and easy to

use. The Ansys Startup Program has given us
access to much needed simulation tools.”

Engineering a ‘Soft Collision’ Between Humans and Humanoid Robots

“Originally, Ansys software was prohibitively expensive

for us as a startup. We would not have been able to use it
without the Ansys Startup Program.

That's been hugely beneficial to us because the other

simulation tools aren't the same quality, and we've
evaluated all of them. So, the Startup Program has
been very empowering, and we're very grateful for it.”

Designing a solar-powered car with Ansys simulation

“We definitely benefitted from the low-cost simulation

capabilities that Ansys offered us through their Startup
Program.

You have to spend your investor’s funds wisely to get the

most out of it, and Ansys simulation software helped us
to save time and money.”

Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles with Simulation

“Simulation is a very powerful argument to back

up our experiments

We're not replacing physical experiments (in vitro)

with simulated ones (in silico), but it's complementary
information that in the end explains why we're
making these choices.”
