Case Study: Jacobs Analytics achieves 80–90% faster analysis preparation and accelerated innovation with ANSYS SpaceClaim

Jacobs Analytics Streamlines Design Preparation, and Speeds Analysis and Innovation with ANSYS SpaceClaim

Jacobs Analytics, an independent engineering consulting firm led by Travis Jacobs, faced slow, error-prone CAD workflows that left geometry riddled with issues and cost weeks of design preparation before simulation. To overcome this, Jacobs adopted ANSYS technologies—primarily ANSYS SpaceClaim, together with ANSYS Workbench and ANSYS CFX—to streamline CAD editing and bring model preparation into the simulation environment.

ANSYS delivered an integrated solution that lets Jacobs import and edit geometry inside the simulation workflow, cutting analysis preparation time by an estimated 80–90% and enabling full simulations in hours instead of days or weeks. The faster, iterative process helped Jacobs deliver measurable value—saving a client $75,000, reducing testing from one year to six months, and producing 10× more design iterations—while accelerating innovation and time to market.
