NEW YORK: Tata Consultancy Services has formed an alliance with the United States-based ANSYS Inc., an innovator of simulation software and technologies, to optimise product development processes. The TCS-ANSYS tie-up will help customers of both companies dramatically accelerate product development, while increasing the quality and reliability of their designs through integrated digital prototyping, the two companies said. This alliance will allow the two companies to jointly deliver product development solutions that combine ANSYS modeling and simulation technologies and TCS' engineering consulting, configuration, customization and on-site deployment services worldwide, they said. A range of industries that use engineering simulations as a product development strategy will benefit from these enhanced solutions, including aerospace, automotive, power generation, heavy machinery, consumer products and electronics. TCS and ANSYS will focus on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) integration with the ANSYS Workbench engineering simulation platform, Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) and customisation. As a result of improved PLM IT tools and infrastructure, customers will benefit from increased productivity in the design and production processes by as much as 70 to 90 per cent, they said.
