Startup companies can speed their innovative products to market by leveraging the same cutting-edge engineering simulation solutions used by larger, more established industry leaders, thanks to a new program from ANSYS.
Small startups often skip engineering simulation because they think the cost can be prohibitive. As a result, engineers in those nascent companies spend an inordinate amount of time and waste funding developing their products building multiple physical prototypes – or miss effects that cannot be discovered using traditional product development methods. As a result, these innovative companies risk being slower to market or only partially fulfilling their bold product promises.
ANSYS has been committed to helping small and large companies innovate since its inception and the ANSYS Startup Program, formally launched today, aims to benefit the tens of thousands of small companies around the world by giving them virtually free access to ANSYS' leading suite of engineering simulation products.
"It's incredibly valuable for a small business like mine to have access to this kind of professional toolkit," said Robert Lumley, founder and CEO of AirLoom Energy, one of the program's initial members. "Not only has ANSYS software helped answer key product-development questions, but it's given me the credibility to win funding. I recently received a research grant from the National Science Foundation, and a key element of my proposal was ANSYS simulation results showing my idea is feasible in the real world."
"The startup program at ANSYS has helped me access a world-class simulation tool that is invaluable in our product development efforts," said Mohammed El-Kurdi, co-founder and director of research at Neograft, a healthcare startup.
"These startup companies are creating cutting-edge products that can change the way we think or do things," said Paul Lethbridge, senior manager of the ANSYS Startup Program. "Entrepreneurs typically invest their time and energy into an idea because they believe it can change the world. ANSYS is no different, we believe simulation can change the world, by helping them succeed."
