ANSYS Mechanical solutions offers, a range of linear and nonlinear materials technology to handle composites, plasticity, hyperelasticity and specialized materials such as cast iron, shape memory alloys and cohesive zone models.
Accurate modeling of assemblies requires modeling of contact behavior between parts. ANSYS offers a complete set of contact technology for surface-surface, line-surface, line-line contact for deformation and rigid bodies. Contact behavior can account for frictional and sliding behavior and is applicable for structural, thermal and multiphysics contact applications.
Mechanical solutions offer advanced dynamics technology by enabling you to calculate your product's dynamic response to time or frequency varying inputs. The capability is used over a broad range of application areas for modal, harmonic, transient and random vibration analysis.

ANSYS provides a complete set of solver technology for both serial and parallel computing. Large scale computing is achieved via parallel processing, iterative and domain-based solvers. With Distributed ANSYS, the entire solution phase runs in parallel, including the stiffness matrix generation, linear equation solving and results calculations in both SMP and DMP.
Composite materials are used extensively in aircraft structures, automobiles, marine, sporting goods, and many consumer products. ANSYS Mechanical solutions offers complete composites technology for modeling layered and pre-integrated sections including interfaces to third party application for composites design.
Customization and Coupled Physics
Customization capabilities through user elements, user materials and scripting using ANSYS parametric Design Language (APDL) provides flexibility and extends the capability of applications for Mechanical Solutions.
ANSYS Mechanical solutions also offers advanced capabilities such as coupled physics capability to simulate a variety of physics phenomena such as thermal-stress, electro-mechanical, structural-acoustics, mass diffusion, and simple thermal-fluid analysis.
