BEST PRACTICES
Simulation: Leading the Pack
Before EV sales can compete with those of cars with internal combustion engines, they must approach price parity. And, because EV battery packs make up the lion’s share of EV costs, the pressure is on engineering teams to quickly and cost-effectively optimize battery performance. -
DIGITAL TWINS
Digital Twin Prevents Drain on Battery Pack Simulation Time
Ansys Fluent and Ansys Twin Builder are used to investigate design optimization of a battery pack thermal system. -
RACING

CFD–DEM COUPLING
Custom Fitting a Solution for Custom-Fit Kitchen Appliances
High-end kitchen designs camouflage appliances within their luxurious facades, restricting air flow and trapping dust and dirt. Sub-Zero is using coupled CFD–DEM (computational fluid dynamics–discrete element modeling) to investigate dirt accumulation. -
SIMULATION-LED DESIGN
Simulation-Driven Design Makes Waves
See how Ansys Workbench and Ansys CFX are used to design polyurethane lamella devices to create surfable waves in rivers and lakes. -
ACADEMICS
Think Outside the Package
An exploration of the multiphysics of tiny electronics packages, facilitated by Ansys Q3D Extractor and Ansys Icepak. -
INNOVATION SHOWCASE
Just-In-Time Physics Education
Ansys Innovation Courses present hard-to-grasp physics concepts in an easy-to-follow, online format. The newly launched, free, undergraduate-level courses use 3D simulation to illuminate forces and flows, and bring invisible phenomena — radiation heat transfer, for example — to light. -
