ANSYS Simulation Tools Help Drive Success for Dale Earnhardt, Inc.

ANSYS, Inc. announced that Dale Earnhardt, Inc. (DEI) is using ANSYS simulation software tools to analyze racecar parts and performance for increased power, speed and safety.

"ANSYS provides the DEI team with very capable tools," said Charles Jenckes, engine development engineer at Dale Earnhardt, Inc. "The strength of their analysis capabilities combined with a very friendly interface has helped make our jobs much easier and even more rewarding. Since working with ANSYS, we're seeing reduced cycle times on the cars, and increased durability and engine speed. These are all key factors when it comes to remaining competitive in the racing business."

Using ANSYS Multiphysics, ANSYS ICEM CFD with meshing capabilities and DesignSpace integrated with SolidWorks, DEI is helping to improve the overall performance of its racecars through cost savings, material savings, part durability, part safety and part performance. The implementation of ANSYS tools also should result in a better performance of the entire racing team.
