SMART Fracture - White Paper

With the new Unstructured Mesh Method (UMM) in Ansys Mechanical, engineers can reduce preprocessing time by employing UMM’s automatically generated all-tetrahedral (tet) mesh for crack fronts, while achieving the same high-fidelity results as a simulation run with the ideal hex mesh configuration. Meshing time has been reduced from up to several days to a few minutes.

Engineering simulation needs all the computer power it can get — and more. FEA and CFD users have complex problems with millions of elements, and generative design — built on simulation — will run simulations many times for each of the thousand solutions it generates. Most engineers are still trying to do all this on ageing workstations. What should you look for in a new workstation? We examine processors, CPUs and GPUs, memory and the latest storage technology. But will even the fastest workstation be enough? Many users find high-performance computing (HPC) to be the next logical step after exhausting the capabilities of workstations. HPC provides surprisingly quick solutions, allowing users to do more simulation iterations as well as more complex simulations. This report discusses introductory level HPCs and what you can expect. We also researched getting HPC as a service, which allows users to draw from an almost limitless amount of computer power that is not only affordable by consultants and small firms, but is also as easy to access as signing up for an account. In this report, we examine the options available for engineering hardware for simulation: The state of the art in engineering workstations. When do you need to jump to HPC? How much faster is HPC over workstations? What to look for in HPC hardware. Affordability of HPC. Is it better to rent HPC when you need it?

Smart Strategies for Structural Simulations - White Paper

As engineering demands grow, the size and complexity of structural simulation increases as well. As a result, engineers must understand the best strategies for solving large simulations efficiently. High-performance computing, reduction techniques and variational technology can all lead to efficient and accurate solutions. The trick to solving large problems is not necessarily picking one way to solve every problem but picking the best way to solve the problem at hand.

End-To-End Cell–Pack–System Solution: Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery - White Paper

Industry has become more interested in developing optimal energy storage systems as a result of increasing gasoline prices and environmental concerns. A major application for energy storage use is hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). The rechargeable energy storage system is a key design issue, as it dominates overall vehicle performance. The system as a whole must deliver high performance in terms of energy density and power management throughout a variety of driving proﬁles. The batteries are key elements in sustaining power and energy requirements of the system. However, in many applications the required power and thermal management are key factors for battery sizing. Thermal stability, charge capabilities, lifecycle and cost are also important considerations during the system design process. ANSYS helps engineers deliver hybrid electric vehicle innovation through end-to-end cell–pack–system simulation that includes multiple physics (electrochemistry, electrical, electronics, thermal, ﬂuidic) and controls (embedded software). A simulation-based approach enables designers to achieve shorter design cycles and optimize battery performance, safety and lifespan.

Simulating Geomechanics - White Paper

A thorough understanding of mechanics and behavior of geomaterials is essential for Energy, Mining, Civil and Transportation industries. ANSYS Mechanical has a wide range of tools for geomechanical simulation (referred to as the “Geomechanical Toolbox”), including geomaterial models covering soils, concrete and rock. These advanced material models, and ANSYS coupled analysis procedures, enable you to predict the effects of hydraulic fracturing, soil-structure interaction and foundation and excavation stability.
