Ansys Highlights Next-Generation Mobility Technology at CES 2025

Ansys showcased digital engineering solutions designed to accelerate the next generation of safer, smarter and more efficient vehicles at last week’s CES 2025 show.

With recent advancements to its comprehensive product suite, Ansys works to enable faster innovation and improved productivity. Ansys simulation delivers significant time and cost reductions associated with physical prototyping.

Commitments to improved safety, demand for new features and functionality, and pressure to shorten design cycles despite increasingly complex engineering challenges have made traditional approaches to vehicle development ineffective, the company noted in a press release. Ansys solutions help customers stay at the forefront of innovation by connecting and automating workflows, shortening design cycles and reducing development costs through reliable design validation.

“Every day, Ansys solutions are enabling customers to push the boundaries of comfort, safety and performance of next-generation mobility,” said Walt Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer excellence at Ansys. “By enhancing connectivity, ensuring safety and accelerating development, Ansys enables automotive innovators to create safer, more efficient and technologically advanced vehicles.”

Highlights from the Ansys booth included:

• Ansys Perceive EM radio frequency channel and radar signature simulation software integrated with an NVIDIA-accelerated shooting and bouncing ray solver for rapid computation of electromagnetics
• A collaboration between Ansys, Cognata and Microsoft enabling manufacturers and suppliers to work together on a web-based platform to test and validate sensor designs against certified sensor models
• Solutions for passive, active and functional safety

Ansys solutions improve vehicle safety through virtual prototyping and safety analysis, including crash safety to assure the well-being of the occupant if a crash occurs, active safety to help drivers avoid crashes, and functional safety to confirm software and hardware work as intended.

Ansys technology can also help customers meet regulatory compliance through integrated workflows, the company added.
