DISCOVERY PACKAGING & LICENSING
The Ansys Discovery license provides access to a broad set of modeling and physics simulation capabilities, including geometry modeling tools for cleaning, defeaturing, and editing imported models as well as generating new geometries to support simulation workflows; live physics simulation capabilities including thermal, structural, fluids and topology optimization; and simulation setup and post-processing functionality.
Solving high-fidelity simulation in Ansys Discovery requires an additional license depending on the physics. As detailed in the chart below, solving structural and thermal physics requires the Mechanical Pro or Discovery Structural Physics Add-on license, whereas solving fluid physics requires the CFD Pro or Discovery CFD Physics Add-on license.
