ANSYS Advantage - Volume VIII, Issue 2, 2014

SPOTLIGHT ON MULTIPHYSICS
Today it is rare to achieve the best-possible product design when optimizing a product’s response to a single physical force. To understand every force at play, and accurately predict if the product can perform well as a result, all the relevant physics need to be considered. This issue of ANSYS Advantage illustrates firsthand how engineers in every industry apply ANSYS software and best simulation practices to realize significant improvements in their development processes via multiphysics studies.
