ANSYS and Cognity announce affiliation

ANSYS and Cognity have signed an affiliation agreement where Cognity will use ANSYS engineering simulation software as part of their consulting services.  Cognity delivers specialist mechanical design and advanced finite element analysis (FEA) to the Energy Industry.  The suite from ANSYS enables Cognity to optimise designs throughout the product development process, especially in the early stages when changes can be efficiently and cost effectively implemented.

Robust analysis is at the core of Cognity, and advanced simulation is offered as a standalone service or in conjunction with mechanical design projects.  Cognity is currently working with Singapore based Managed Pressure Operations to design and develop a new range of downhole equipment for the managed pressure drilling market, and the technical challenges presented by this project allow Cognity to fully exploit the benefits of ANSYS virtual prototyping and advanced simulation.

Rae Younger, Managing Director of Cognity, said “We are very pleased to have signed an agreement with ANSYS, which we believe offer the best-in-class simulation tools for product design and optimisation.  We are particularly excited by the recent developments made by ANSYS in high performance computing (HPC) and parallel solvers.  ANSYS HPC will enable us to deliver superior designs and accelerated analysis to our clients in the shortest possible timescales.”

Gary Panes, Regional Sales Director of ANSYS UK Ltd., said “We at ANSYS are delighted to be working with the high calibre engineers and analysts at Cognity.  I believe that the unique engineering challenges faced by the Energy Industries can be capably resolved with the extensive capabilities that ANSYS offers, which Rae and his team will be utilizing. I have confidence Cognity will do an excellent job of leveraging the unparalleled depth of technical solution that ANSYS offers the Energy industry.”

Cognity’s business plan is for rapid growth and expansion as they seek to exploit the niche for advanced mechanical design to the Energy industry.  The flexible software license options available from ANSYS are a key enabling factor in supporting this business plan.
