Thousands of industry leaders and ANSYS simulation experts exchange knowledge about the impact of engineering simulation

PITTSBURGH, April 21, 2015 — (PRNewswire) — The global Convergence Conference series, presented by ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS), begins today in Silicon Valley, bringing together industry visionaries to share the latest trends, best practices and applications in engineering simulation. Over the course of the next several months, customer speakers from such industry leaders as Airbus, AREVA, BMW, Daimler AG, John Deere, Mars and Volkswagen will share their simulation successes as well as important lessons learned.

The Convergence Conferences feature panel discussions, workshops, breakout sessions and case studies, as well as valuable simulation insights showcasing the unique ways companies leverage solutions from ANSYS to solve complex engineering problems. For example, presenters will discuss such diverse topics as using simulation to create longer-lasting batteries and to study valve motion in the human heart.

"I'm excited to deliver the keynote address at the Santa Clara Convergence Conference," said Thomas E. Markusic, CEO of Firefly Space Systems. "Simulation is transforming our vision of 'NewSpace' – opening up space for business and exploration by building the world's lowest-cost, small satellite delivery system – into reality. It's helping us to make space highly profitable, improve life on earth and extend human exploration to Mars."

"Engineering simulation and the power behind simulating complete virtual prototypes are changing virtually every industry around the world. The Convergence Conferences are proof of that," said Sin Min Yap, ANSYS vice president of marketing. "The stories these customers tell are truly inspiring – and lead to innovative products that are improving lives everywhere."

With local language presentations and numerous locations to choose from, there are many opportunities to learn how best-in-class organizations are transforming their research and development processes and maximizing their investments in simulation. There are scheduled events on five continents and in more than 30 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Africa, India, Japan, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
