Simulating Composite Structures

Composites pose different modeling challenges because of the nature of the material.With the right simulation tools, designers can predict performance, analyze reliability and potential failures, optimize construction, and export accurate information to manufacturing, all before a physical prototype is built. This white paper discusses how you can improve the time, cost and accuracy of a design process that relies on rigorous physical testing by using a robust composite simulation system before prototyping.

ANSYS 14.0 Update for Fluid Structure Interaction

ANSYS 14.0 expands its multiphysics portfolio with high-fidelity support for executing two-way FSI problems using ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Mechanical in the ANSYS Workbench environment. A new system coupling user interface provides a Workbench project schematic connection between Fluent and Mechanical. It also provides a Workbench interface for the setup and solution of two-way fluid-structure interaction.
