Robotic Arm System

A robotic system can be modeled using a state-of-the-art cosimulation feature in ANSYS Simplorer that enables direct linking to the rigid dynamics solver within ANSYS Mechanical. This transient-to-transient link allows engineers to combine detailed rigid mechanics models with power electronics, electric servo drives and control system models in one simulation environment. Advanced analysis capabilities can then determine the dynamic response of an assembly of rigid bodies linked by joints, such as a robotic arm or a crankshaft system.

Calculating Performance of Planar Magnetics

This application note describes how Ansys software tools are used to automatically set up and solve a two-way coupled magnetic-thermal model of a planar magnetic component, which is frequency dependent using a customized interface complete with manufacturer libraries.

Engineering The Internet of Things: Wearables and Medical Devices - Industry Brief

Because the world population is aging, chronic diseases are on the rise and healthcare costs are reaching unsustainable heights, it is essential to detect pathologies early. The Internet of Things (IoT) is now poised to transform the healthcare industry by providing wireless connectivity and sensing. Body-worn electronics and implanted devices, equipped with tiny sensors that continuously monitor vital parameters and securely report anomalies to appropriate physicians, will improve patients’ quality of life while delivering timely medical help.

AC Motor Drive Using Cosimulation

Motors integrated with advanced power-electronic converters enable more-efficient operation and deliver improved performance. However, these integrated electronic designs pose significant challenges to design engineers. When designing an AC drive, engineers face a wide variety of problems in combining several engineering domains that interact within the device. Using the Ansys motor and drive design workflow offers many advantages for this application.

Electric Machine Noise and Vibration

Noise in electric machines can come from many sources and directly affects the perceived quality of a product. And, as one noise source is diminished, other sources become increasingly important. The design of a high-performance electric machine with good sound characteristics, therefore, requires a holistic engineering approach. It involves both the magnetic design of the motor and the structural/acoustic design of the housing and supports. This design process can be analyzed with simulation, which can include the simultaneous optimization of motor and housing parameters to achieve noise goals.

Engineering The Internet of Things: The Connected Soldier

Many of the technologies that underpin and enable the commercial boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) were initiated through government-funded defense programs. Examples include advanced sensors, networked computing and communication systems. The U.S Department of Defense’s “network-centric warfare” vision articulated in the 1990s foresaw many of the benefits that could be realized by military instances of what we now refer to as the IoT. There are numerous potential areas for the military to capitalize, such as Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), fire control systems, training, logistics and maintenance, and the subject of this briefing, the connected soldier.

Accurate Thermal Analysis Including Thermal Coupling of On-chip Hot Interconnect

Driven by rapid advancement in mobile/server computing and automotive/communications, system on chips (SoCs) are experiencing fast functional integration along with technology scaling. Advanced low-power techniques are widely used while meeting higher performance requirements using a variety of packaging technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) is further opening up new applications with connected devices and systems, where low power, high performance and reliability are paramount. Since the impact of temperature on power, performance and reliability is huge, accurate thermal analysis is a requirement for the design flow.
