ANSYS software displaces Nastran at major Italian aerospace manufacturers.HOUSTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 1996--ANSYS Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANSS ANSS Advanced National Seismic System (USGS) ANSS American Nature Study Society ) announced today that Fiat Avio and Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo is an Italian automobile manufacturer founded in 1910. Alfa Romeo has been a part of the Fiat Group since 1986. The company was originally known as A.L.F.A. Avio selected ANSYS ANSYS Analysis System (R) software as their preferred design analysis solution, displacing Nastran software from McNeal Schwendler Corp. Fiat Avio uses ANSYS for the development of the main turbo engine of the next-generation Ariane 5 rocket. Built by ESA 1. (architecture) ESA - Enterprise Systems Architecture. 2.

In a network packet, headers are appended to the payload for transport and then discarded at their destination. is powered by a liquid propellant Any liquid combustible fed to the combustion chamber of a rocket engine. to the main rocket and two boosters. ITALCAE, an ANSYS Support Distributor (ASD ASD abbr. atrial septal defect ASD Atrial septal defect, see there ) in Florence, Italy, has been involved in the Ariane 5 project, using ANSYS to perform nonlinear analysis of the main booster joints, the most critical components of the Ariane 5 structure. ANSYS technology is part of a concurrent engineering initiative at Fiat Avio. The implementation of ANSYS facilitates the use of a single engineering database for improved communication among team members, as well as enhanced product development and productivity. ANSYS technology is also part of a collaborative aircraft engine development project in Italy between Fiat Avio and GE Aircraft Engines. As global competition heats up, increasingly more manufacturers are reaping productivity and engineering expertise advantages by partnering with industry leaders. Using ANSYS as a common design analysis and optimization tool, engineers working collaboratively at various sites can share engineering data and take advantage of true multiphysics capabilities integrated within their CAD systems. These combined efforts result with higher quality products reaching the market faster. Alfa Romeo Avio is one of Europe's largest aircraft engine manufacturers. The company uses ANSYS multiphysics capabilities in the development of its engines for commercial airline carriers. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Antonio Mancino, president of ITALCAE, the ASD responsible for the sale and support of ANSYS at Fiat Avio and Alfa Romeo Avio, "The implementation of ANSYS software at large aerospace manufacturers represents a trend by industry leaders to provide state-of-the-art product development tools in order to compete in a global marketplace. Fiat Avio and Alfa Romeo Avio clearly realized the benefits to be gained by a single, integrated database running inside existing CAD and hardware systems. Also, the comprehensive multiphysics capabilities unique to ANSYS allow engineers to complete a range of analyses typical of the engineering tasks required in an aerospace development environment."
