Ansys and IIT Bombay in R&D partnership for next-gen mobility

Software developer Ansys of the US and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have announced a collaboration that will fund research projects and fuel groundbreaking innovations across industries. 

With technology support from Ansys, students of IIT Bombay will be equipped with research tools for applications across sectors – from advanced driver assistance systems to green energy to digital security. 

By using Ansys Pervasive Engineering Simulation software, university researchers will explore power estimation strategies in chip design to identify defective chips in the electronic components of vehicles. Studies will also be undertaken to understand the strength and durability of parts created using the additive manufacturing process.

Commenting on the announcement, Rafiq Somani, country manager, South Asia Pacific and Middle East, Ansys, said: "The students and faculty at IIT Bombay are committed, driven and passionate. We are thrilled to enable the next generation of engineering students with the strong research platform, cutting-edge tools and industry exposure necessary to advance the future of simulation."

"IIT Bombay is committed to 'Make in India,' India's national goal of achieving innovation," said Devang Khakhar, director, IIT Bombay. "Ansys's support provides our students and faculty with a stronger ecosystem for engineering research, collaboration and development—empowering them to contribute to the national goal."
