Turbomachinery plays a vital role in almost all industry sectors. These rotating machines change the state of working fluids (as in pumps or compressors), convey or transport fluids (fans and pumps), extract energy (turbines) and create propulsion (aircraft engines and propellers). Performance, efficiency, reliability and rapid delivery have always been important, but today’s world conditions intensify the pressures designers face. As the provider of Simulation Driven Product Development tools, ANSYS, Inc. is helping turbomachinery providers effectively position themselves in a dynamic and highly competitive market.
