Material Designer is an ANSYS tool for the homogenization of microstructures, enabling you to model and analyze composite materials at a microscale to obtain homogeneous properties. Using a woven fabric draped over a dome-shaped structure as an example, this video demonstrates how to use Material Designer along with ANSYS Composite PrepPost to determine variable material properties as a function of shear angle.

Recent events of high-altitude turbofan engine malfunctions characterized by sudden power loss and flameouts have been attributed to ice crystal formation in the compressor core. The understanding of ice accretion on rotor/stator blades is paramount and needs to be accounted for and integrated into the gas turbine design process.

Designing optimal anti/de-icing systems requires detailed understanding of complex icing phenomena and their interaction with air flow and ingested particles. Regulatory certification processes are often underpinned with expensive ice tunnel and flight tests with limited data points. High-fidelity CFD/icing models can help engineers develop a better understanding of complex icing processes and design better systems at a fractional cost.

ANSYS icing solutions empower engineers with high fidelity CFD/icing models to account for ice accretion and flow interactions early in the design phase in a seamless manner while harnessing the power of high-performance computing. Attend this webinar to get an overview of ANSYS icing solutions with a focus on ice crystal formation in turbomachinery compressors.

The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is at a pivotal crossroads, with rising operating costs, an exponential number of new technologies and materials that can be adopted, and a growing skills gap. Digital transformation is the key to overcoming these challenges, and simulation is the means of accelerating it. Read this white paper to learn about how simulation can help you with 5 critical initiatives that A&D companies must be aware of for future success.

Next-generation field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for 5G, AI, automotive, cloud and data center applications are getting bigger, faster and more complex. With the market’s continuous demand for higher performance and lower power products, FPGA designers strive hard to achieve stringent power, performance, area and reliability goals to stay ahead of the game. Traditional electronic design automation (EDA) techniques for full-chip critical path timing analysis and power integrity signoff cannot meet the capacity, performance and accuracy requirements for these complex FPGAs. Productivity and project schedules are negatively impacted as a result.

In this webinar, FPGA inventor Xilinx discusses the many applications for its innovative elastic compute scalable design methodologies, including:

• Large design scaling for timing analysis using ANSYS SeaScape
• Full-chip EM/IR signoff using ANSYS RedHawk-SC
• Accelerated chip-scale interconnect delay calculation for timing capture flow using ANSYS Path FX
