World energy use is projected to grow 72% from 2003 - 2030. Faced with growing demand, producers need ways to boost capacity and maximize supplies of fossil fuels and they are looking increasingly to CAE technologies to help. ANSYS, Inc., an engineering simulation company providing integrated engineering software and services, enables engineers to gain efficiencies in equipment design and processes that ultimately help advance goals of finding and extracting oil & gas from increasingly difficult settings. ANSYS provides multidisciplinary simulation solutions ? fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, vibration, chemical reaction and acoustics ? that address a range of engineering design challenges, including those involving drilling, downhole equipment, offshore platforms, flare radiation, separation, valves and pumps, and flow around sub-sea risers, pipelines and structures. ANSYS Workbench, an efficient and intuitive user interface uniquely suited to the oil and gas industry, is a productivity enhancing platform for collaborative projects between producers, oil services companies, regulatory agencies and contractors.
