PITTSBURGH, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS) announced today that the world's largest independent
manufacturer of diesel engines and global power leader, Cummins
Inc., has signed a new agreement providing it with broad access to
the ANSYS® portfolio. This enterprise license agreement
will enable Cummins to continue to solve some of the industry's
most challenging multiphysics problems – providing its customers
with some of the most innovative products on the market.
The multi-year agreement provides Cummins with enterprise-wide
licenses to the ANSYS structures, fluids and high-frequency
electromagnetics suites as well as access to high-performance
computing solutions. Cummins will also receive enhanced support and
services as well as unlimited classroom and online training.
The new agreement complements the Cummins Analysis Led Design
initiative, which emphasizes simulation early in the product design
process, when it is more cost-efficient to make changes.
"For nearly a century, Cummins has delivered innovative engine
systems - including air handling, filtration, controls, and
after treatment along with electrical power generation systems,"
said Wayne Eckerle, vice president
of Corporate Research and Technology at Cummins. "This new
agreement with ANSYS allows us to further our vision for Analysis
Led Design processes and to continue to provide our customers with
dependable products. And it also gives Cummins flexibility for the
future, helping us to grow in areas we couldn't consider in the
past."
An ANSYS customer for more than 25 years, Cummins has
traditionally relied on engineering simulation for detailed
structural and computational fluid dynamics analysis of engine
components and for combustion. But this comprehensive license now
enables the company to validate complete virtual prototypes of its
products and electronic engine controllers. This additional insight
into its products – in lieu of costly physical prototypes – will
enable Cummins to spur innovation, deliver products to market
faster and better utilize its global engineering resources.
"Cummins is one of our longest-tenured customers – and one of
the most successful," said Walid
Abu-Hadba, ANSYS chief product officer. "This new agreement
provides Cummins with best-in-class engineering simulation
solutions that will enable the company to continue its market
leadership by delivering even more innovative, longer-lasting
products to its customers."
