Meggitt PLC and Ansys are collaborating to create next-generation aircraft technologies that will satisfy strict flight certification requirements and meet stringent greenhouse gas reduction guidelines. Through a new multi-year enterprise license agreement, Ansys will help Meggitt's global engineering team develop thermal management products and build standardized modeling processes — substantially enhancing product performance and decreasing time to market. As Meggitt engineers innovate safety-critical aircraft components, such as engine-mounted heat exchangers, they must standardize simulation-based product design across globally dispersed teams. Additionally, engineering practices must ensure that simulation software is available throughout the organization to support all phases of product lifecycles to meet challenging energy efficiency, reliability and safety requirements. Ansys' simulation solutions drive Meggitt's team-wide digital transformation — speeding the design of new components and radically reducing physical prototype expenses. The collaboration standardizes Ansys' comprehensive portfolio of simulation solutions as Meggitt's shared modeling platform across the company. Using simulation, engineers swiftly expedite product design — significantly decreasing physical prototyping, slashing design spending and increasing productivity. This has reduced the team's new thermal management system development time by six months, improved product performance and increased aircraft efficiency, resulting in a cleaner environment.
