Structures
In 2023 R1, the Structures Product Line delivers new features and capabilities that allow our users to perform more accurate, efficient, and customizable simulation analyses, including:
- An AI/ML Resource Prediction feature to provide estimates on expected solve time and memory usage required to solve an Ansys Mechanical simulation.
- Efficiently modify a CAD model without losing the associativity of the model’s features after setup, using geometry-based re-associativity with the Scoping Wizard that detects and reestablishes scoping in Mechanical.
- Improvements to LS-DYNA Incompressible Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) for improved data processing, better visualization, data transfer to Mechanical and Fluent, and more.
- Comprehensive battery safety workflow in LS-DYNA simulates thermal runaway following thermal and mechanical abuse. Predict the combined structural, electrical, electrochemical, and thermal (EET) responses of automotive batteries – validated through experiments.
- Enhancements to the Ansys Sherlock parts library include over 400,000 new parts added, allowing users to build more accurate models for analysis. Additionally, improved integrations between Sherlock, Mechanical & Icepak can handle multiple PCB assemblies for motherboard or daughter board applications.
