Multiphysics Simulation for Automotive

Engineering Confidence Into Every Design Decision

Modern EVs and autonomous systems demand tight control over battery safety, motor efficiency, power electronics reliability, and sensor performance. These interconnected challenges leave no room for guesswork. Ansys delivers the multiphysics accuracy engineers need to solve issues early—optimizing thermal behavior, electromagnetic integrity, and vehicle efficiency using tools like Motor‑CAD, HFSS, and Fluent. The result: fewer prototypes, reduced risk, and faster delivery of safer, smarter vehicles.

The Roadmap to Next-Gen Mobility
