As IoT applications proliferate, the scope of antenna design and integration has significantly broadened.  Design engineers and teams must consider the wider implications of a fully integrated system, and not just base the claim of success on the performance of a single system. Design teams often struggle with enormous risk as they must wait for a viable prototype to be built and tested prior to full integration assessment.  As this is typically very late in the design stage, it is also a very costly time to expose flaws in the design. This is where “virtual prototyping” comes in to help identify and correct issues early in the design process.

During this webinar, you will learn about 2020R1 latest features, our best-known design practices, and a real-world example of how our software is used to model an antenna system. Whether you are new to simulation or an expert Ansys HFSS user, this webinar will be valuable to all. 

In November 2019, Ansys acquired LSTC, the authors of the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. Ansys LS-DYNA is the most used explicit simulation program, capable of simulating the response of materials to short periods of severe loading.

Ansys LS-DYNA has a vast array of capabilities to simulate extreme deformation problems using its explicit solver. Engineers can tackle simulations involving material failure and look at how the failure progresses through a part or through a system. Models with large amounts of parts or surfaces interacting with each other are also easily handled, and the interactions and load passing between complex behaviors are modeled accurately.

Many important and complex CFD simulation workflows contain dirty, non-watertight geometries, typically requiring extensive clean-up and repair prior to meshing. View this webinar to learn how Ansys Fluent’s Fault-Tolerant Meshing workflow may be used to simplify and speed up meshing for even the dirtiest geometries, with no geometry preparation required.

Several technologically important processes involve a variety of multiphase flows, e.g., in chemical processing, oil and gas (upstream and downstream), energy/power generation technologies, mineral processing and metallurgy, speciality and fine chemicals, etc. Multiphase flows occurring in these process applications often involve multiple different length and time scales. It is difficult to simulate such multiphase flows with widely varying length/time scales using any one computational method. Depending on the required information, such multiphase flow problems can be creatively divided into multiple smaller problems and appropriate computational methods can be used to predict the flow behavior at different scales.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate a multiscale approach using single/two-phase flow through packed bed reactors. We will focus on how particle-resolved simulations can be used to study the effect of catalyst shape on particle-scale flow, heat transfer, reactions and catalyst deactivation in packed bed reactors. Further, applications of the Eulerian multifluid method to simulate the bed-scale gas-liquid distribution and volume-of-fluid method to simulate particle-scale liquid distribution will be discussed. Finally, a multiscale computational methodology developed to simulate gas–liquid distribution through trays used in packed (or trickle) beds will also be discussed.

Join us to learn how to use SCADE Suite & SCADE Display to rapidly create a model based application that can be simulated and executed on a PC. During this demonstration you will learn how to create application behaviour in a model, which can, at a click of a button, generate code ready for safety critical applications. We will also see how we can create OpenGL graphical displays which will link with this behaviour model to drive the application and visualize data whilst having little to zero knowledge of graphics programming. At the end of the session you will see how easily it is to generate behavioural and graphics target agnostic code for high integrity applications.

Cameras are one of the keys to autonomous technology. In this webinar, discover how to increase the accuracy of ADAS/AD simulations using the extended camera sensor simulation capabilities available in Ansys SPEOS. In addition, learn how a new lens importer now enables you to import any imaging systems into SPEOS to perform optical analyses while protecting the original system’s intellectual property.

Attend this webinar to learn how to:

• Go further in the modeling of your camera systems, including EPP, 2D distortion, focus distance, DoF and more
• Convert a SPEOS or ZEMAX Opticstudio design into a simplified model for camera simulation
• Visualize key optical characteristics of a lens system
• Create a new collaborative workflow from lens design to camera simulation

Knowing the efficiency of an electric machine throughout the torque-speed operation is important for understanding how a machine will perform in its intended application. Obtaining an efficiency map of an electric machine with testing is costly and time-consuming. In this webinar, we will introduce different techniques that use Ansys tools, including the Machine Toolkit (part of Ansys Maxwell) which has the capability to automatically calculate efficiency maps of various types of machines.

To create optical simulations that represent how material choices will react in various environments, teams of engineers and designers need an accurate texture mapping tool. The SPEOS texture mapping feature reproduces the aspect and behavior of surfaces within a defined environment, simulating a variety of materials, from uniform to multilayered materials.

Attend this webinar to learn about:

• Texture management in SPEOS
• How to create a textured material
• How to use mapping methods
• Practical examples

Processing your results is a mandatory step when optimizing your optical designs or when you need to characterize the performance of a system. Depending on the number of results, this task can be extremely time-consuming. This webinar presents the endless possibilities offered by SPEOS Scripting, an automation tool that enables you to analyze hundreds of values easily while saving post-processing time.

Attend this webinar to learn how to:

• Create your SPEOS scripts
• Run you SPEOS scripts
• Understand the scripting results

Fatigue is an important failure mode that needs to be accounted for in product design. Over time, stress cycles can cause cracks to start and grow until structural failure, so it is important to understand and predict fatigue to avoid these costly and dangerous failures. This webinar will introduce the fatigue failure mode, illustrate important concepts and demonstrate ways to predict product life. We will discuss fatigue calculation methods like stress-life (SN), strain-life (EN) and crack growth. Topics include:

• Estimating fatigue for various load conditions — static and dynamic fatigue
• Ansys fatigue module and Ansys nCode Design Life
• Case studies/test validation
• Analyzing cracks using S.M.A.R.T Methodology
