(PRWEB) June 16, 2010 -- Exa® Corporation, a global innovator of simulation solutions for vehicle product
engineering, today announced that it has renewed and extended its technical and commercial partnership with
Porsche AG of Weissach, Germany for two more years. This partnership enables Porsche to continue their
advanced engineering process utilizing Exa's PowerFLOW®.
Over the past few years, Porsche engineers have implemented Exa’s suite of software tools for extensive
engineering applications including: external aerodynamics, engine cooling, thermal protection and convective
cooling. In anticipation of accelerated adoption of additional Exa applications, Porsche has extended its
partnership with Exa to formalize a systematic simulation process for future car projects. New simulation
applications such asaeroacoustic wind noise and brake cooling will also be incorporated into the Porsche digital
design process.
"Exa, with its simulation tools, meets our extremely demanding needs in an almost perfect way and provides a
strong and professional team to improve and develop the software tools in a future direction which matches our
strategy and vision to the oncoming engineering challenges," remarked Armin Mueller, Head of Innovation and
Concepts at Porsche AG. "Our partnership with Exa includes a novel business model that gives our engineers the
necessary scale of access to their technology, enabling it to be a core piece of our product development process.
Exa has been working together with Porsche to unlock the potential of true digital development, to enable us to
fully be able to realize
