About Event

Industries are transforming with the heavy adoption of trends focusing on sustainability and digitalization. Technology is revolutionizing every facet of our lives, from electric and autonomous vehicles in transportation to industrial IoT and digital twins in manufacturing and smart devices in homes. However, numerous challenges are involved in this transformation journey due to increased product complexity, variants, disciplines, and costs associated with test-fail-repeat cycles.

In such a complex design environment, engineers need to visualize every aspect of the product, understand the trade-offs they are making, and arrive at design decisions that combine innovation with reliability, cost control, and reduced time to market. Engineers increasingly employ simulation, virtual prototyping, and digitalization across product development to accelerate design and innovation. For example, engineers can make 10x to 1000x faster and more accurate predictions through AI-augmented simulation.

Join us for the Ansys (Part of Synopsys) Innovation Conference, where engineering leaders and experts from different industries will discuss emerging technology trends, challenges, solution practices, and the role of simulation. Participants will learn about the overall landscape of product development, from complex multi-physics to digital engineering. The conference will also showcase industry experts' presentations on using advanced simulation methodology to accelerate innovation, reduce cost and time, and improve product performance and reliability.
