The company plans to apply the full range of ANSYS capabilities in complex multi-disciplinary applications, including aerodynamic engineering, structural mechanics, fluids dynamics, noise prediction, design life, electric generators, and control and power electronics concerns.

IMPSA director of technology Bernardo Beling said that simulation-driven product development is a key element of the company’s R&D strategy, designed to enhance its global competitiveness and lower per-unit power generation cost.

"The breadth and depth of the ANSYS multiphysics-based portfolio coupled with ANSYS high-performance computing capabilities and dependable local support make the ANSYS solution unique in addressing our current and future design and analysis needs," Beling said.

Argentina-based IMPSA focuses on producing integral solutions for power generation from renewable resources, components for nuclear power stations, and equipment for oil and gas processes.
