Volvo cars leverages ansys and nvidia gpus to accelerate cfd simulations by 2.5x for the ex90 electric vehicle

Ansys solutions on nvidia hardware enable more optimization studies, critical to increasing ev range / key highlights ansys fluent® fluid simulation software delivers high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (cfd) models that are critical for designing next-generation, energy-efficient vehicles leveraging just eight nvidia blackwell gpus, ansys accelerated solver speed by 2.5x when compared to the same simulation run on 2,016 cpu cores and cost-equivalent hardware using ansys simulation to reduce aerodynamic drag, customers can design battery electric vehicles (bevs) that are more performant and travel farther on a single charge pittsburgh , march 18, 2025 /prnewswire/ -- ansys (nasdaq: anss) today announced a significant breakthrough in aerodynamics simulations in collaboration with volvo cars and nvidia. using the combination of eight nvidia blackwell gpus for the solver and cpu cores for meshing, the companies reduced total simulation run time from 24 hours to 6.5 — enabling multiple design iterations per day, facilitating more optimization studies for bevs, and accelerating time-to-market.
