CIMdata’s latest opinion poll results. Simulation and analysis (S&A) as part of the design and engineering processes

In CIMdata’s latest opinion poll, users provided insight as to the level of use of simulation and analysis (S&A) as part of the design and engineering processes. Almost 60% of the respondents indicated that they performed S&A on some portion of their products while another 37% indicated that they uses S&A on all their products. Only 5% indicated that they did not use S&A. Structural analysis was the most performed with CFD, Thermal and Motion all approximately equal in use. The respondents indicated that both S&A specialists and general designers are performing S&A.

This poll indicates a growing trend to use simulation and analysis more completely and consistently as part of the product development process.

Internationally Renowned University of Pittsburgh Engineering Alumnus and Trustee John A. Swanson Honored for Greatest Philanthropy by an Individual in University History - $41.3 Million in Support of the School of Engineering

Acclaimed inventor, business founder, and University of Pittsburgh engineering alumnus and trustee John A. Swanson was honored today for the greatest generosity by an individual donor in Pitt’s 220-year history—  $ 41.3 million to the University’s School of Engineering as part of the $ 2 billion Building Our Future Together Campaign.

“We are exceedingly fortunate that John Swanson—who not only is recognized as one of the world’s leading engineers but also is one of our most loyal and generous supporters—has chosen to make an extraordinary investment in the future of engineering education at Pitt,” said Pitt Chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg.

Swanson is recognized internationally as an authority and innovator in the application of finite element methods to engineering. In 1970—only four years after he graduated from the Pitt School of Engineering with his PhD—Swanson founded ANSYS, Inc., a Canonsburg company that markets the ANYSYS software code that Swanson created for use by the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, manufacturing, and electronics industries to simulate how product design will behave in real-work environments. Swanson served ANSYS as president, chief executive officer, and director.
