KayakAnsys at Kayak: Product Design
Kayak, a consumer discretionary organization in the United States, uses Ansys SimAI from Ansys to support engineering design for design engineers.
Ansys SimAI became the place Kayak uses to author and review designs in a shared environment instead of file sprawl.
“In the United States, design engineers already knew where product design went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Ansys (now part of Synopsys) supplies engineering simulation software for structures, fluids, electronics, and optics.”

| Capability | Design engineers work from the same Ansys SimAI record for product design |
Story
Kayak did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed engineering design to move. In the United States, design engineers already knew where product design went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Ansys SimAI from Ansys is now in that path. Ansys (now part of Synopsys) supplies engineering simulation software for structures, fluids, electronics, and optics. The company treats it as production tooling for engineering design, which is why design engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Kayak can show how product design is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run engineering design on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
