Computational modeling and simulations (CM&S) are recognized by both industry and regulatory agencies as an alternative to physical testing, but they have historically been used in silos with minimal collaboration between various design disciplines and engineering departments. To address the needs of today’s product development teams, Ansys has developed a multi-domain system simulation and digital prototyping platform that enables multi-specialty teams with diverse engineering backgrounds to work in unison to achieve a deep understanding of integrated product behavior.

As an example of a typical medical device development, we will show a systems simulation solution for a wearable drug delivery device that illustrates the complexities of developing these multi-disciplinary systems. The model includes evaluation of various physical components, control algorithms, display interfaces and power electronics. In addition to the presentation, a demo will show how various components can be combined to model the drug delivery subsystem using a hardware-in-the-loop approach. We will also discuss Ansys solutions that help you meet regulatory requirements.

The Drivetrain Toolkit in Ansys Motion is a pre- and post-processing tool for quick and detailed modeling of geartrains including bearings and housings. A templated workflow facilitates gear geometry generation and meshing stiffness evaluation based on macro- and micro-geometry gear inputs. A multifidelity approach for modeling shafts ranging from simple beam design to solid flexible shafts is included in the toolkit. Dynamic transmission error, bearing forces and gear contacting forces can be extracted in the time domain during post-processing. Built-in numeric data operations like FFT, STFT, signal filtering and order cut can be used to extract the results in the frequency domain in Ansys Motion post. Ansys VRX Sound Analysis and Specification can also be used for advanced post-processing needs.

Benefits

Learn how Ansys Forte can now quickly and accurately simulate positive-displacement compressors. Automated meshing with dynamic mesh refinement completely removes user-meshing requirements and reduces hands-on time. It has been shown that Forte can generate a solution for these applications 3-5X faster than established methods. Validation cases are presented, along with other new features and usability enhancements including:

• Screw compressor validation
• Refrigerant database with real gas properties
• Improved gap handling

Preparing a high-quality computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh can be a challenging and very time-consuming task. Ansys Fluent’s watertight geometry meshing workflow greatly reduces hands-on meshing time and enhances efficiency. Supporting both seasoned and novice users, this cutting-edge tool delivers a single-window, task-based workflow and Mosaic-enabled meshing technology.

In this webinar, a live demonstration will showcase the simplicity of the watertight geometry meshing workflow.

• Understand how Fluent’s task-based, watertight meshing workflow guides you through the meshing process by presenting best practices in an organized interface.
• Learn a step-by-step process for easily generating a high-quality CFD mesh for a complex geometry such as a blowout preventer (BOP) using simple, intuitive inputs.
• Discover how to take advantage of the full single-window workflow, from geometry import to meshing to solving and post-processing.

Engineering simulation needs all the computer power it can get — and more. FEA and CFD users have complex problems with millions of elements, and generative design — built on simulation — will run simulations many times for each of the thousand solutions it generates. Most engineers are still trying to do all this on ageing workstations.

What should you look for in a new workstation? We examine processors, CPUs and GPUs, memory and the latest storage technology. But will even the fastest workstation be enough?

Many users find high-performance computing (HPC) to be the next logical step after exhausting the capabilities of workstations. HPC provides surprisingly quick solutions, allowing users to do more simulation iterations as well as more complex simulations. This report discusses introductory level HPCs and what you can expect. We also researched getting HPC as a service, which allows users to draw from an almost limitless amount of computer power that is not only affordable by consultants and small firms, but is also as easy to access as signing up for an account.

In this report, we examine the options available for engineering hardware for simulation:

• The state of the art in engineering workstations.
• When do you need to jump to HPC?
• How much faster is HPC over workstations?
• What to look for in HPC hardware.
• Affordability of HPC.
• Is it better to rent HPC when you need it?

Electronics software offers three core packages: Ansys Electronics Enterprise, Ansys Electronics Pro 2D and Ansys Electronics Premium.

The Ansys Fluent solver can be so computationally demanding that complex simulations can take hours to complete. Ansys and Intel worked together to build a new smoother and optimize it for Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors to help reduce those long simulation times.

This whitepaper reviews the results of performance testing conducted with Ansys Fluent 2020 R1 when making use of the Intel MKL sparse LDU smoother, and it explains how the improved performance results were accomplished. The testing showed that the new smoother and Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel AVX2) enabled code path combined to produce a performance boost of 12 to 19%.
