PITTSBURGH – Carnegie Mellon University and Ansys have partnered to boost engineers’ use of simulation to enable opportunities for exploration of materials and designs at the beginning of the development process.

As part of the partnership, a new building on the university’s campus will allow faculty, students, Ansys researchers and other corporate partners to interact in a large computer-supported collaboration space. Students will have access to physics-based simulation tools and technologies for making, assembling and testing their designs. All Carnegie Mellon students also will have access to the Ansys portfolio.

“We are grateful to Ansys for the important educational opportunity this brings to students across our campus,” said CMU president Subra Suresh. “Through a variety of CMU initiatives, we have seen firsthand that maker spaces help students think more creatively and take a hands-on approach to solving critical problems. Through this partnership, we can now enhance this vital skill set for graduate and undergraduate students alike, while providing new opportunities for researchers.”

No financial terms were disclosed.
