In today’s world, engineers and architects increasingly employ engineering simulation so the design of public spaces can meet safety, energy-efficiency and sustainability goals within strict project timelines. Simulation software is used to create a virtual prototype and calculate the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) performance of a building or space. This virtual building design approach leads to a rapid investigation of alternative designs, a better understanding of elements that can improve performance and exploration of a more innovative solution.
APPLICATIONS
Performance optimization
Ansys simulation solutions help designers rapidly evaluate alternatives and refine designs early in their product development process, enabling them to radically reduce physical prototyping and expedite high-quality products to market. Additionally, insightful real-world case studies will highlight how global companies successfully leverage Ansys simulations during key product development cycle stages.
Drop test
Drop test and impact analysis are areas of interest in many industries including HVAC manufacturing. Engineers seek the best ways to make their products robust and reliable. Ansys LS-DYNA is a nonlinear explicit finite element code that is used widely in these industries to model drop and impact simulation to understand product integrity and determine critical regions in the assembly.
Fire safety & Smoke management
In the architecture engineering and construction (AEC) industry, there is no prototype: The cost and time required for construction is such that the first prototype is usually the final building. So it is not surprising that this industry widely embraces virtual prototyping through engineering simulation to troubleshoot and optimize any project. Engineers designing fire and smoke management systems utilize simulation to address occupants’ safety, facilities’ structural integrity, and compliance with regulations.
Human thermal comfort
Maintaining the standard of thermal comfort for occupants of buildings or other enclosures is one of the important goals of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) design engineers. Ansys can be used to compute Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) from the solution data and create a report containing the maximum and minimum values of PMV and PPD in the computational domain along with contour of PMV and PPD at different sections across the computation
Data center
The reduction of data center electricity consumption has come to be one of the most pressing issues for data center operators and engineers to deal with. A large a part of the electricity is consumed in running the cooling systems. For this reason, it is crucial to make sure that the data centers are economically cooled without wasting energy with unnecessary forced cooling.
Acoustic
By coupling multiphysics simulation with acoustic testing results, predict and fine-tune product acoustics at an early stage while making improvements along the way.
Green Building
Modeling the heat and airflow inside buildings helps designers improve occupant comfort and increase a building’s overall efficiency—dramatically reducing its environmental footprint. Ansys software can be used in assisting engineers benchmark designs using the LEED Green Building Rating System.

Ansys software can uniquely simulate electromagnetic performance across component, circuit and system design, and can evaluate temperature, vibration and other critical mechanical effects.
This unmatched electromagnetic-centric design flow helps you achieve first-pass system design success for advanced communication systems, high-speed electronic devices, electromechanical components and power electronics systems.
ANSYS Structures
Ansys structural analysis software enables you to solve complex structural engineering problems and make better, faster design decisions. With the finite element analysis (FEA) solvers available in the suite, you can customize and automate solutions for your structural mechanics problems and parameterize them to analyze multiple design scenarios. You can also connect easily to other physics analysis tools for even greater fidelity. Ansys structural analysis software is used across industries to help engineers optimize their product designs and reduce the costs of physical testing.
Metal forming
Metal forming simulation helps many industries evaluate the performing of dies, processes and blanks prior to building try-out tooling. These solutions help determine whether a proposed product and tooling design will produce parts free of defects such as fracture, spring back or wrinkling. The technology is ideal for cost reduction, quality improvement and productivity gains.
Tolerance analysis
Understand the impact of dimensional variation and improve overall build quality. With the highly complex products of today, dimensional variation can consume enormous amounts of time and effort to control. The specified tolerances of single parts can easily lead to issues during assembly, which is a costly time to make changes. Variation Analysis can help reduce the negative impact of variation on product dimensional quality, cost and time to market.
