Batteries are the key driver in the world of portable devices. They are the critical component of our portable gadgets and are becoming increasingly important in our vehicles as well. The company that can engineer and get the most out of their batteries will clearly have a significant competitive advantage over the competition. Batteries, however, are clearly difficult to simulate due to their multiphysical, multiscale nature and how they are used in devices. Only Ansys, with its portfolio of industry leading software working together is up to the challenge.
