The Ansys Platform collection empowers customers to map their digital transformation initiatives, forming a bridge between simulation, optimization and the business of engineering. Our solutions help manage multiphysics, systems and optimization data; drive business practices and project management; and support interoperability with existing tools.
CAPABILITIES
FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction)
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is the multiphysics study of how fluids and structures interact. The fluid flow may apply pressure and/or thermal loads on the structure. These loads may cause structural deformation significant enough to change the fluid flow itself. Undesired effects in your product may increase as the level of the fluid-structure interaction increases. With ANSYS simulation you can gain a deeper understanding of the phenomena occurring with your product to ensure safety, reliability and longevity.
Sloshing tank
The liquid sloshing in a tank has been widely studied for a long time because of its fundamental importance in the physics of flow and its practical importance in a wide range of applications such as ships, satellites, rockets. trucks and even containers. It is known that the hydrodynamic load exerted by the sloshing of the liquid can cause serious structural damage. Ansys workbench provides the fast, robust and accurate solution for sloshing tank simulation.
Wind loading
Wind loading is one of primary loads acting on a structure, and its appropriate consideration is necessary to satisfy the design requirements. The dynamic wind effects are also important particularly for long-span bridges, high-rise building, etc. which may induce significant vibrations in all directions, and they have to be avoided. Ansys workbench provides the fast, robust and accurate solution for this wind loading applications.
Turbomachinery
Turbomachinery flows are inherently unsteady and therefore induce highly variable loads on the blade surfaces. These changing loads can lead to fatigue failure in parts. Aside from forced vibrations (forced response) due to wakes or potential effects, resonant vibrations (flutter) can also occur.The change in body shape influences the flow field around the body and the forces acting upon it. These interactions can lead under certain circumstances to aeroelastic instabilities which can result in damage to parts. Aeroelastic phenomena must therefore be considered during the design of turbomachinery and wind turbines.
Thermal and mechanical loading of printed circuit boards (PCBs)
The potential for failure in electronic systems due to thermal and mechanical loading of printed circuit boards (PCBs) is escalating due to steadily increasing power dissipation combined with smaller board sizes. It has not been practical to accurately simulate PCB deformation before now because too much computing power is required to solve a finite element model that contains the full board geometry. A new ANSYS multiphysics methodology overcomes this problem by simplifying the PCB geometry while tracking the material properties of each segment of the board. Engineers can use this new methodology to accurately predict the deformation generated by thermal–mechanical stresses, random vibration and mechanical shock within the timeframe of a normal design iteration.
