SCADE LifeCycle enhances the functionality of other SCADE products (for modeling embedded software code) with add-on modules that increase efficiency, completeness and long-term maintainability of applications. The product helps system and software developers to manage the produced artifacts — including certification plans, documentation and metrics — across the entire lifecycle of smart products, which can span 50 years for some industries.

ANSYS delivers innovative, dramatic simulation technology advances in every major physics discipline, along with rapid computing speed and enabling technologies such as geometry handling, meshing and post-processing. We offer the most comprehensive suite of simulation solvers in the world so that you can confidently predict your product’s success. This brochure outlines the capabilities of our various products.

Great art, like great engineering, reflects the world around us — its nature, its detail, its beauty, its design. All these come through in an elegant and accurate expression of reality. Mosaic from ANSYS brings such an expression to engineering simulation. An all-new meshing technology for Fluent simulations, Mosaic automatically combines any type of boundary layer meshing with high-quality polyhedral meshes for fast and accurate flow resolution. This powerful, new Fluent experience can deliver better quality cells 45 percent faster, while requiring 30 percent less memory. ANSYS Fluent now easily and quickly transitions between varying types of mesh elements in complex geometries and flow regimes, allowing you to explore more materials, more parts, more possibilities.

FDX produces OsciJet nozzles that emit a sweeping or pulsating jet stream of fluid without any moving parts to save resources by optimizing flow processes. Building and testing prototypes was a bottleneck in their design process, so they used ANSYS CFX and ANSYS Workbench to accelerate the process by a factor of 360, greatly improving their time-to-market.

Exploded views in ANSYS Discovery AIM are an excellent way to visualize hard-to-see details in large assemblies. Using the dynamic slider, you can set the distance of separation to quickly find important details impacting boundary conditions and contacts between components.

The new additive manufacturing capabilities in ANSYS Discovery SpaceClaim include the reorganizing of shell options and the ability to bidirectionally thicken surface STL bodies. A new triangular lattice-type infill has also been added for lightweighting designs.

While functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 262626) address hazards that are caused by malfunctioning electrical/electronic (E/E) systems, it doesn’t cover other hazards that can occur in the absence of system failure. One additional cause of hazards could be performance limitations of the system or its components (e.g., sensors).

The new ISO PAS 21448 standard on safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) deals with the systematic identification, evaluation and subsequent risk mitigation of these hazards. SOTIF issues are especially important for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, and may be caused, for example, by misperceptions of sensing systems or misinterpretation by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

In this on-demand webinar, we will introduce the SOTIF domain and illustrate how our safety analysis tool — medini analyze — can perform SOTIF-related analysis of E/E systems.

This SAE 2018 Reader Survey was conducted on behalf of ANSYS to discover subscribers’ level of involvement with vehicle electrification trends and technologies. Survey respondents work in the automotive industry, with corporate management, management and design engineering job functions and a technology interest in power and propulsion.

With the latest release of ANSYS Discovery Live, you can account for the angular velocity of rotating components in a fluid simulation. This is especially useful for understanding the effect of wheel rotation on a vehicle and observing real-world trends in your virtual designs.

Thanks to a new curvature-based meshing technique in ANSYS Discovery AIM, you don't have to identify high-stress concentrations before solving. Small features, such as fillets and holes, are automatically defined — with higher resolution. Discovery AIM finds these areas and reveals stresses you may have otherwise overlooked. This saves valuable time and offers critical design insight faster than ever.
