July 2025 : Ansys, now part of Synopsys, and SASTRA Deemed University, a premier Indian institution for engineering and scientific education, recently announced the establishment of the Ansys-SASTRA Center of Excellence (CoE) for Advanced Space and Defense Technologies. The CoE is located at SASTRA's campus in Thanjavur.
Equipped with Ansys simulation software and SASTRA’s high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities, the CoE will prioritize key focus areas including structural and thermal analyses for aerospace systems, multiphysics simulations for space initiatives, mission reliability and system safety modeling, and propulsion, materials engineering, and electromagnetics applications for defense communication and radar systems.
Ansys is dedicated to cultivating future-ready talent and addressing complex challenges within the space and defense industries. This collaboration aims to bridge the skills gap by providing students, researchers, and faculty access to cutting-edge engineering simulation tools, enabling them to apply these to critical aerospace and defense industry projects. The CoE supports national initiatives like Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and Gati Shakti, fostering the next generation of talent with advanced R&D capabilities.
Mike Yeager, Area Vice President, Ansys India and Japan, stated, “India’s great ambitions in the space and defense sectors requires a new generation of engineers who are not only equipped with deep technical skills, but also have real-world experience. The collaboration with SASTRA will help bridge the skills gap by providing aspiring engineers access to world-class simulation tools, fostering innovation and building a strong talent pipeline that supports national priorities and global competitiveness.”
Prof. S. Vaidhyasubramaniam, Vice-Chancellor, SASTRA, added, “The Ansys-SASTRA Center of Excellence plays a vital role in this endeavor by providing our students and researchers with access to Ansys' advanced engineering platforms. Through this collaboration, we are committed to fostering innovation and enhancing our expertise in space and defense technologies.”
