The ANSYS smoothing algorithms and control tools allow us
to ensure the quality of the interpolated data as well as the
robustness of the mapping procedure. Ultimately, this saves
time in setting up our simulation models.

We use ANSYS as a virtual laboratory, since ANSYS code
is really close to the actual physics. It assures you when
something is a good idea and demonstrates clearly when
a design fails.
