Hyundai names Ansys as preferred supplier for structural analysis software

March 13, 2024

After an extensive 18-month evaluation, Hyundai Motor Compnay has named Ansys Mechanical and Ansys LS-DYNA as its preferred structural analysis solution.

Transitioning from one simulation tool to another requires significant time and strict evaluation standards for automotive companies with established product development processes. Hyundai conducted benchmark tests on multiple simulation solutions over 18 months, focusing on model analysis accuracy, high-performance computing throughput, and future product strategy.

Ansys Mechanical, a finite element analysis tool, and LS-DYNA, an explicit simulation tool for crash safety analysis, demonstrated superior analysis accuracy, improved data processing performance, and a robust future technology development strategy. These high-performance capabilities will be used in the analysis of body system durability, stiffness, and strength.

Ill-Joo Noh, MPV and small-sized vehicle chassis and body CAE team of Hyundai Motor Company, said, “Adopting a new simulation product requires detailed application and operational planning of the solution for each vehicle development stage, and thorough validation by both the manufacturer and solution supplier. To remain competitive in the increasingly technological industry, we must work closely with our partners to ensure our current and future needs are met. Ansys demonstrated its excellent simulation performance meets our current and future requirements, proving it can operate at scale for complex solutions.”

Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys, added, “Hyundai’s evaluation and decision illustrate Ansys’ ability to meet the needs of the automotive industry’s biggest and most complex engineering challenges. We are continuously enhancing Mechanical to work seamlessly with LS-DYNA to provide our partners with a full solution. Ansys and Hyundai share a commitment to innovation and quality, and together we will usher in a new era of safe, comfortable, and reliable vehicles.”
