Team Bath Drones case study
“Ansys helped us optimize our designs and better understand the flow physics across our geometries. Visualizing vortex formation gave us insights that are difficult to obtain otherwise, directly influencing how we refine our designs. Using parametrization and Ansys Workbench capabilities, we’ve been able to efficiently compare multiple configurations and run simulations in parallel, quickly identifying improvements such as drag reductions and build confidence in our design choices. This helped us keep pace with building and testing the drone ahead of competition, contributing to the team’s overall performance in the IMechE UAS Challenge, including our 1st-place finish in 2025.”
