Driving Down Time to Market
Danfoss A/S, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of AC drives, is dramatically reducing time to market for its new AC drives using ANSYS Sherlock. -
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Means of Support for Additive Manufacturing
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh developed a much faster, simpler approach to simulate stresses and deformations experienced by metal additive manufacturing support structures, making it practical to use lattice-based topology optimization to make the supports lighter to reduce manufacturing costs and time. -
MATERIALS
Take Simulation to the Next Level with Accurate Materials Data
ANSYS Granta Materials Data for Simulation is a dataset of over 700 materials — including metals, plastics, polymers, composites, magnetic materials, ceramics and more — with properties specifically chosen to support ANSYS simulations. -
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Reducing the Strain of Additive Manufacturing
As additive manufacturing’s popularity surges, reliability issues that lead to part failure still linger. Leveraging ANSYS Additive Print, Rosswag engineers determine strain prior to printing to eliminate distortion, stress and blade crashes, and reduce the number of builds. -
COMPOSITE SIMULATION
Gliding Farther and Faster
To reduce the drag on the wings of a sailplane (glider) so it could go faster and farther, engineers needed to shave a small amount of surface area from the wing. This complex task involved fluid, structural and composite material challenges that had to be solved in parallel and which could only be done using engineering simulation. -
MULTIBODY DYNAMICS
The Road Ahead: Simulating Scooter and Motorcycle Design
As a leading manufacturer of two- and three-wheeled vehicles, the Piaggio Group is constantly improving safety and customer satisfaction. Engineers routinely use simulation software to optimize engine design. Now, the engineering team is evaluating a multibody dynamic solution that incorporates rigid and flexible solvers. -
