ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) will fund research projects that fuel groundbreaking innovations across industries. With IIT Bombay, a worldwide leader in engineering education, ANSYS will accelerate research and development to improve the safety, performance and security of autonomous vehicles, next-generation products and smart devices.

With ANSYS support, IIT Bombay students will be equipped with research tools to revolutionize applications across sectors – from advanced driver assistance systems to green energy to digital security.

By using ANSYS Pervasive Engineering Simulation™ software, university researchers will explore power estimation strategies in chip design to identify defective chips in the electronic components of vehicles. They will also study the strength and durability of parts created using the additive manufacturing process.
