One of the biggest challenges in predicting fatigue failure is characterizing the load over the lifetime of a part. Using simulation solutions, like ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS nCode DesignLife, engineers can run numerous load and design variations to ensure their products meet fatigue specifications and will continue to perform beyond the warranty period. Better yet, they can perform simulations and optimizations before building the product. In this way, engineers can make improvements early in the development cycle and utilize optimization algorithms to further streamline the design process. In this webinar, participants will learn the difference between material fatigue and high- and low-cycle fatigue failure, plus how to account for fatigue in design using simulation.
Say goodbye to complicated user-defined functions (UDF) and hello to expressions.

Ansys Fluent has been enhanced to organize the process for running simulations with a task-based workflow that guides you through the simulation process, reduces the options to only those that are relevant at each point in the process and provides best practices as defaults. This workflow presents you with the right choices to lead you to an accurate solution, making it possible to develop a better product in less time. Read this white paper to see how the new workflow can be can be utilized to reduce the time and software skill required to mesh watertight CAD geometry.
IIT Bombay Racing is India’s premier Formula Student team and hence the expectations are always high. The development of a lightweight mounting structure for a Formula Student car’s rear wing comes with its own set of challenges due to the position of the wing relative to the chassis. Despite using composite materials to make these parts, there is always room for reduction in the component weight through structural simulation. An intelligent weight-optimization tool, with an ability to import parts from Solidworks, was needed. We chose Ansys Mechanical for our topology optimization simulations, with great success.
Application areas like 5G and radar systems often require the simulation of antenna placement on large vehicles and buildings. This is usually a challenging task due to the geometry size versus wavelength tradeoffs and the complexity of the model geometry. Asymptotic solvers are known to be a solution for these applications. In this webinar, the highly accurate shooting and bouncing ray (SBR+) method within Ansys HFSS will be presented as an advanced solution. A live demonstration will spotlight how it can be combined in a hybrid simulation approach with finite-element boundary integral (FEBI) domains or reading in far-field or near-field sources. Additionally, key post-processing capabilities and recommended solver settings will be discussed.
With the progression of wireless communication networks from 4G to 5G, mobile networking is unlocking enormous benefits for businesses and consumers alike. Applications and business opportunities will soon become available that were previously beyond imagination. As the road to 5G and beyond presents significant challenges for technology providers, those who can offer timely solutions with the highest reliability stand to gain tremendous benefit and increase market share. This presentation showcases the past, present and future of mobile networking, and how the convergence of 5G, edge computing and artificial intelligence machine learning will change the industry landscape. Modeling and simulation will drive this revolution—particularly in combining the physics of electromagnetics, optical, thermal, mechanical, and materials. Additionally, digital twins for modeling wireless devices within virtualized, realistic, city-sized environments will reduce the need for costly prototypes and exploratory testing in physical installations.
