Capabilities | FEA Software
Effortlessly manage the intricacies of diverse design environments you might encounter. The array of analytical tools empowers you to develop a product that aligns with your performance objectives and maintains durability over time.
Strength Analysis
Understanding component strength is needed to determine a product’s lifecycle, performance, and failure modes. Several factors dictate strength requirements for design and materials, including thermal stress, pressure conditions, bolt tension, mechanical loading, and fatigue.
Composite Materials
Composite materials are versatile, strong, and light, making them suitable for manufacturing many types of products. Carbon fiber, for example, is often used in aerospace and automotive components. The use of composites is now common in applications such as musical instruments and bicycle frames. The Ansys FEA software suite allows engineers to create layered as well as fiber-reinforced composite models and verify them with various Composite Failure tools.
Impact Simulation
Simulating deformations, stresses, and possible damage due to low-speed and high-speed impact between bodies is critical in many applications. Engineers can use explicit as well as implicit dynamics technology for these types of simulations. Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) is also available for kinematic assessment of components and assemblies.
Vibration Analysis
Ansys Mechanical software helps engineers understand how their designs will respond to vibrations from rotating equipment, earthquakes, road transport, wind turbulence, acoustics, ultrasonic processes, and more. You can also determine and minimize the noise resulting from vibrations, such as brake squeal and motor hum.
Design Optimization
To begin an analysis, engineers first simulate the performance of a base design. The model can then be re-used to examine variations in loading, design parameters, and manufacturing conditions. Response surfaces can be generated, and the design can be optimized using several available optimization algorithms.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
All Ansys Mechanical solvers have been tuned to work with multiple cores on a single computer or hundreds of cores in a cluster of computers. High Performance Computing (HPC) allows engineers to model entire assemblies with the required level of detail and still get a solution in a reasonable amount of time. Productivity is greatly improved since multiple designs can be solved quickly instead of waiting for days or weeks.
Thermal Analysis
Innovation continues to be driven by lighter, more efficient, and smaller designs. As that happens, heat and thermal management become more critical. Ansys Mechanical software allows engineers to perform steady state as well as transient thermal analyses that include conduction, convection, and radiation, heat transfer due to mass transport, frictional heating, thermoelectric effects, and so on.
Topology Optimization
The optimal shape of a part is often organic and counterintuitive. Ansys topology optimization technology lets engineers find these shapes simply by specifying where supports and loads are located on a volume of material. Design and manufacturing constraints can be applied, and the optimized design can be quickly verified to make sure it can withstand all loading condition.
Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is a method of fabricating complex parts layer-by-layer from a 3D model. Ansys additive manufacturing simulations help engineers optimize their designs for 3D printing. You can also compensate for distortions and stresses in the printed part, and predict the microstructure of the part based on the thermal history during fabrication.
Design for Durability
To reduce the costs of warranties and improve reliability, engineers need to design durable products. Using Ansys FEA software for fatigue analysis, you can avoid unexpected failures and warranty expenses by learning how designs behave when subjected to repeated load cycles and load histories over time.
MultiBody Dynamics
Ansys’s Rigid Body Dynamics module and Motion software allow engineers to simulate the dynamic behavior of large multibody systems. Models can include springs, dampers, bushings, and different types of joints, as well as contact between bodies. The bodies can be modeled as rigid or flexible.
Hydrodynamics
Offshore structures often have specific design requirements. Ansys Aqwa provides an engineering toolset to simulate the effect of waves, currents, and wind on fixed and floating offshore and marine structures. A wide range of physical connections, such as mooring lines, fenders, and articulations can model various restraining conditions on the vessels. The analysis can also generate pressure and inertial loading for use in a structural analysis of a vessel hull.
