Capabilities

Easily handle the complexity of the varied design environments you may face. The range of analytical tools enables you to create a product that meets your performance goals and holds up over time.

This capability includes connections to other Ansys products including Ansys CFD products, optimization solutions and external CAD systems. 

Mechanical loading, thermal stress, bolt tension, pressure conditions and rotational acceleration are just some of the factors that dictate strength requirements for materials and designs. Our products ensure your product’s viability and safety by predicting the strength required for the loads your design will experience in service.

It can have a substantial impact on durability and fatigue, leading to a shorter service life. You need to understand how your designs will respond to vibrations from phenomena such as brake squeal, earthquakes, transport and acoustic and harmonic loads to predict the behavior of products and components. Structural simulations can provide this understanding and help you to overcome your toughest vibration challenges.

Convection, radiation and conduction loads are obvious, but the need to include the effect of power losses and thermal energy from friction and external sources such as pipe flows means that analysts need to have more tools at their disposal to simulate thermal models accurately.

Fatigue or lifing analysis is a key enabler in building this product durability knowledge.

Drop tests are ideal candidates for an impact analysis. These impact analysis programs calculate the forces between two or more colliding bodies and the resultant deformation or damage.

It enables you specify where supports and loads are located on your model and lets the software explore the design space. For example, you can easily perform lightweighting of structures, extract CAD shapes quickly and explore designs and process parameters for additive manufacturing.

Examples could include suspension assembles in ground vehicles, robotic manipulators in manufacturing processes or gear systems within electric drivetrains. Simulating the motion of these systems gives insight into their performance over the range of dynamic loading experienced when in operation.

The design requirements for these structures can be quite different from traditional land-based constructions. Simulating the loading and the effects of these factors on structural response is a necessary component of the design. Ansys provides capabilities that can reproduce these loading conditions and responses across a broad range of applications. Ansys has solutions for different requirements depending on the specific application, from simplified models for truss type structures to high-fidelity simulations that include all aspects of the fluid loading environment.

Composite materials like carbon fiber, typically used in the aerospace and automotive sectors, are being used increasingly in energy, sports, construction and marine applications. Their composite nature, however, makes accurate simulation a challenge. Ansys offers a complete suite of tools to help you overcome this challenge.

This comprehensive solution spans the entire workflow — from design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) through validation, print design, process simulation and material analysis.

Our entire Ansys portfolio looks at the effects of electromagnetic, structural, fluid and thermal forces in combination. As a result, it predicts product performance with greater accuracy and provides seamless data transfer between physics solutions.
