What's New
Ansys Discovery 2026 R1 continues to strengthen its role as an upfront simulation environment for design engineers, expanding multiphysics capabilities, improving mesh robustness, and streamlining solver connectivity.
This release introduces Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) with Joule Heating, enabling combined electrical conduction and thermal analysis for electronics cooling directly within Ansys Discovery. New fluids meshing enhancements, including sharp edge and thin structure capture, automatically resolve critical flow and thermal regions for improved accuracy. AI-assisted geometry detection enhancements help identify and organize complex features to simplify model preparation. Ansys Discovery 2026 R1 also supports continuity with AEDT Icepak and Ansys Mechanical when higher-fidelity validation is required, helping teams move smoothly from early exploration to detailed analysis.
