ANSYS Becomes Sole Supplier of Simulation Software: ANSYS, a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced that Tenix Pty Limited has selected a comprehensive computer-aided engineering (CAE) software suite from ANSYS, Inc. to meet the needs of its aerospace, land, marine and electronics systems divisions. Tenix, one of southeast Asia's largest independent defense and technology contractors with operations spread throughout Australia and New Zealand, will use the full suite of simulation capabilities from ANSYS for enterprise-wide engineering simulation and analysis. "We standardized on software from ANSYS as our solution toolset because it uniquely provides us with a strong set of structural analysis tools as well as an impressive set of computational fluid dynamics capabilities," said Pat Lockley, general engineering manager at Tenix. The company is using the software from ANSYS to provide integrated, multiphysics solutions for customized aircraft, land vehicles and ships to meet the needs of its civil and military customers. "Having CAE solutions in a single, integrated software environment means that we can deploy the best-available computer-based design tools to our separate divisions; at the same time, we have a common enterprise-wide toolset for all our defense-related engineering systems integration projects." With ANSYS, Inc. now as its sole supplier of CAE solutions, Tenix has the additional capability of carrying out fluid dynamics and blast simulations, which will allow its geographically dispersed divisions to collaborate closely and realize increased business synergies and efficiencies not possible before. "The Tenix decision to go with the full product portfolio from ANSYS illustrates the benefits that can be gained by using a comprehensive integrated suite," said Jim Cashman, president and chief executive officer at ANSYS, Inc. "Only products from ANSYS can deliver the flexibility and accuracy that Tenix demands for their unique applications. In addition, the defense company now has headroom to grow their use of CAE to meet their evolving business needs. As ANSYS continues to lead the industry in developing integrated CAE solutions, Tenix will be able to take full advantage of our ongoing significant investment in research, development and innovation."
