Ferrari and Ansys

Maranello, 19 September – Ferrari is always dedicated to excellence, even in the choice of its partners. That is why the Prancing Horse has chosen Ansys, a world leader in numerical simulation in engineering, for use in the analysis of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and of simulation in the development of cars that will take part in GT races, especially those of the WEC (FIA World Endurance Championship.)

In fact the fifth round of the top world endurance series in the world, which gets underway today at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, has been chosen as the time to celebrate this partnership with the Ansys logo featuring on the AF Corse team’s 458 GT cars crewed by Bruni-Fisichella and Kobayashi-Vilander.

“It would not be possible to maintain a high rate of development, while complying with the sporting regulations, without the use of simulation,” commented Enrico Cardile, the head of GT aerodynamics, thermal and air conditioning for Ferrari. “For many years now, we have enjoyed a very positive cooperation with Ansys and we are pleased that it will continue for the future. Ansys’ efforts on the advanced simulation front have no rivals in the motor industry and they continue to produce positive results on all fronts.”

“Ansys is proud to collaborate with top companies like Ferrari to demonstrate the value of its simulation work in competitive environments,” commented Gilles Eggenspeller, Senior Fluids Product Manager at Ansys. “Whether it’s companies that race cars or built wind turbines, the global market is growing at a very high pace and only excellence is good enough: that’s how the magnitude and thoroughness of the portfolio of Ansys’ multifaceted solutions is transformed into successful products.”
