Engineers who design computers - desktop, laptop and tablet devices as well as high-end servers and supercomputers - face a number of challenges: increasing power density, a continued demand for air cooling, and the need to reduce device size, weight and noise pollution. Since the computer industry is a highly competitive market, engineers operate within very short design cycles, often interfacing with suppliers and partner networks that span the globe.
 

In the storage device industry, companies focus on component design including disk and hard disk drives, DRAM memory modules and integrated systems like networking storage devices. Challenges include electronics cooling mechanical reliability and the need to simulate complicated phenomena like disk drive flutter. The highly competitive market segment is experiencing a continued drive for size, weight and cost reduction.

The ANSYS hallmark is breadth and depth through a variety of multiphysics and multiscale simulation capabilities, enabling companies in this market to examine the tradeoffs between product performance, thermal design, mechanical reliability, signal and power integrity and electromagnetic compatibility. By reducing redundancy and streamlining the design process through the use of a single platform, product developers can shorten their design cycle and reduce the overall cost of the design process.

ANSYS offers computer and storage device designers a variety of engineering simulation tools.
