You can build virtual prototypes of products with Ansys solutions

ANSYS, together with Rescale and Amazon Web Services (AWS), is launching the 'ANSYS Startup Support Program' to provide startups with cloud simulation and computing resources at a reasonable cost.

The Ansys Startup Support Program is designed to help startups overcome the challenges of developing innovative products and enter the market more economically. It enables the use of various simulation software in a network-based cloud environment without the need for on-premise installation on separate servers or high-performance computing support. This allows startups to conduct simulation tests on a scale comparable to that of large corporations.

Companies participating in the startup program can immediately leverage Ansys solutions to build virtual prototypes of their products. This dramatically reduces the time and cost involved in perfecting a product, as hundreds of simulation tests can be conducted in the time it would take to build and test a physical prototype once. Through the program, users can access Ansys' entire multiphysics simulation suite, including structural, fluid, electromagnetic, and embedded software bundles.

Ansys uses AWS, the industry leader, as the basis of its cloud strategy for startup support programs. Dave Wright, General Manager of Strategic Technology Partners at AWS, said, “Ansys and Rescale provide cost-effective solutions with intuitiveness, scalability, and reliability through AWS,” adding, “I am pleased to help startup customers design and deliver innovative products through our collaboration with Ansys and Rescale.”

In addition, Rescale’s ScaleX platform, supported by the Ansys Startup Program, enables users to directly access high-performance computing infrastructure via an internet browser-based cloud and use various simulation software immediately. Consequently, customers do not need to install separate infrastructure, allowing them to save time and costs and become more competitive.

"Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) require simulation testing to meet stringent international standards when developing and launching new products, but it is not easy for startups, in particular, to adopt solutions due to realistic circumstances," said Yongwon Cho, CEO of Ansys Korea. "I hope that Ansys's program will become a driving force for the growth of future manufacturing by providing more startups and SMEs with opportunities to utilize simulation."
