Ansys

Empowering engineers through world-class simulation technology.

Ansys is the global leader in engineering simulation software, enabling innovation across industries and physics areas for more than 50 years.

Ansys equips STEM Racing teams with free access to world-class simulation software and learning tools. Students can test, refine, and optimise their car designs before race day. This hands-on experience builds real engineering skills for future careers.

Together, Ansys and STEM Racing are powering performance through simulation.

why use Ansys?

Ansys simulation tools ensure students have unparalleled insight into how their car will perform on the racetrack, before it gets there. Enabling teams to determine the feasibility of ideas, analyse the aerodynamics of their design, and, ultimately, increase their car's performance, Ansys software is an invaluable tool for all competing in STEM Racing.

With Ansys, you can:

  • Design and simulate your STEM Racing car in real time

  • Instantly test aerodynamics, materials, and structural performance

  • Explore multiple design iterations with live physics feedback

  • Visualise how your car will perform - before it hits the track

  • Build critical engineering skills using industry-leading simulation tools
