Ansys offers a complete solution for FEM simulation, from concept design phase calculation to client-specific, high-end simulation

THE WHOLE WORLD OF ANSYS STRUCTURAL MECHANICS SOLUTIONS

From static structural mechanics and simulation of dynamic effects, to parameter and topology optimization, Ansys users can reproduce and solve their tasks while improving the design and minimizing errors. Uniform workflows and automation speed up and simplify the simulation process.

ANSYS Structures

In 2022 R2, the Ansys Structures product line continues to improve integrations between products, materials databases, and advanced workflows with co-simulation capabilities and new APIs. In this release, significant updates include:

Access multipurpose workflows quickly and efficiently with a new intuitively designed and customizable toolbar for Ansys Mechanical. The toolbar includes 14 add-ons, including the NVH Toolkit, DesignLife Fatigue, and Bolt Tools.
New functionality within Ansys Sherlock enables users to export PCB thermal results from Ansys Icepak and structural results from Ansys LS-DYNA into Sherlock for component lifetime predictions, enabling a more advanced closed-loop reliability workflow.
An automated co-simulation workflow with Ansys Motion and Ansys Maxwell solves the details of electromagnetic fields and kinematics associated with moving magnets for advanced magnetic latching capabilities.

Capabilities

With the interactive nature of Ansys Discovery, engineers can test several design ideas in mere seconds, receiving immediate insight around the structural performance of a design. Expect to quickly observe the different modes of vibration and receive a rapid understanding of resonant frequencies. Ansys Discovery removes barriers that
previously prevented engineers from using engineering simulation. Instead of dealing with the difficulty of performing structural analyses on complicated geometry, the abilities of Ansys Discovery allow for near-instant simulation results once loads get established.

Whether you’re addressing internal or external flow, you can explore a variety of fluid wonders. Incorporate porous media into your analysis when applicable. When you’re ready for additional detail and higher accuracy, use the Ansys Fluent solver within the Discovery environment, without changing your model or your workflow.

The speed of the Ansys Discovery topology optimization tool is extremely handy, but the interactivity of the tool for generative design the first-ever offering of its kind means engineers can easily evaluate a wide-ranging spectrum of product behaviors to uncover the perfect design solution. Topology optimization capabilities account for
manufacturing constraints and can apply to multiple load cases and physics, including modal and structural simulations, giving Discovery additional uses across multiple product designs.

The real-time heat flow and temperature distribution information enables you to test ideas in real time, iterating and ideating along the way to find the best solution for your design needs. Leverage conjugate heat transfer (CHT) to determine fluid and solid temperatures for evaluating fluid and thermal performance of product designs. Solve a
wide range of product design challenges with multiphysics simulation capabilities across numerous industry applications.

Quickly observe the impact of antenna locations and receive a rapid understanding of problems. Whether you have a basic CAD model or one with 1000 threaded screws, there’s no need to simplify your CAD geometry. With fast, direct geometry editing powered by Ansys Space Claim, adjust the antenna location in real-time and instantly see the impact.
