This is clear evidence of the power of applying advanced engineering simulation technology to optimize all of the design metrics of a product.
The groundbreaking innovation represented by the design of the Speedo LZR RACER suit could not have been achieved without the depth and breadth of technology from ANSYS," said Jim Cashman, president and CEO of ANSYS Inc.
"From the ANSYS perspective, we're finding that there really are no barriers to the potential applications and industries in which our software can be crucial to competitive advantage."
"Speedo is a world-class brand dedicated to continual innovation and working with the best, which makes ANSYS a perfect partner for us.
The use of ANSYS software was an integral part of our design and development process, which, alongside with our other key partners, resulted in the development of the world's fastest swimsuit, the Speedo LZR RACER," said Jason Rance, head of Speedo's Aqualab research and development group.
ANSYS worked with Dr. Herve Morvan of Nottingham University and Optimal Solutions in conducting the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research used to develop the Speedo LZR RACER suit. Speedo has long been recognized as the world's leading swimwear brand.
