Update to simulation platform
USING the newly released ANSYS®
16.2, engineers can create virtual
prototypes of complete systems,
enabling them to make strides in
innovation and to use next-generation
products within their industries.
As products become more complex
and development times continue to
shrink, the need to simulate whole
systems grows. Through simulation,
engineers can take full advantage of
the growing number of opportunities
presented by the rapid innovation of
materials, electronics and processes.
While some manufacturers have
optimised the design of components
or smaller sub-systems, no
comprehensive solution has existed
for simulating complete systems.
The complexity within systems arises
from the challenges of connecting the
individual pieces to ensure they work
together as designed.
“ANSYS customers are already
solving component and sub-system
problems using the most advanced
software available,” said Jim Cashman,
ANSYS president and CEO. “But with
today’s release of ANSYS 16.2, they
expand to the system level. We’re
offering engineers the most advanced
engineering solution technologies on
the market to predict real-world product
performance using accurate, fast and
reliable simulation. By leveraging these
new capabilities, enterprises will gain
competitive advantage in a competitive
market.”
Part of this new simulation approach
is made possible by enhancements to
ANSYS Simplorer®, a comprehensive
platform for multi-disciplinary systems
modelling. In this new release, Simplorer
can assemble and simulate electrical,
electronic, thermo-fluid, mechanical
and embedded software components.
The methodology offers advanced 3D
precision when needed, as well as
reduced-order modelling for verifying
multi-domain system performance
interaction. ANSYS 16.2 offers
advancements in systems engineering
through ANSYS AIM®, an integrated and
comprehensive multi-physics simulation
environment designed for engineers,
which was introduced earlier this year.
AIM has rapidly developed, and ANSYS
16.2 represents its next step forward.
Among the new multi-physics and
systems capabilities are heat transfer
and thermal-stress, gas flows, and
structural deformation and stress.
Optimising heat transfer and thermal-
stress is a critical design issue for
many types of industry applications,
such as heat exchangers, thermal
mixing valves, engine components and
electronic devices.
In such applications, an accurate
prediction of the temperature and
heat transfer in both the fluid and
solid regions is essential to accurately
predict the thermal and thermal-stress
performance of the design.
