As the global energy balance continues to shift, the oil and gas segment is challenged to optimize the performance of existing production and processing assets while incorporating new autonomous, electric and connected technologies. That’s all while simultaneously managing the cost and complexity of increasingly harsh operating environments, and still focusing on safety, reliability and environmental stewardship. Digital transformation is critical to the next era for oil and gas.
APPLICATIONS
Simulation based Digital Twin
An analytics-driven, simulation-based digital twin is a connected, virtual replica of an in-service physical asset — in the form of an integrated multidomain system simulation —that mirrors the life and experience of the asset. Hybrid digital twins enable system design and optimization and predictive maintenance, and they optimize industrial asset management.
Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance is a type of maintenance that directly tracks an asset’s health, status, and performance in real time. Predictive maintenance is aimed at reducing costly, unexpected breakdowns and offers the manufacturer the opportunity to plan maintenance around their own production schedule.
Environmental Pollution Control
Reducing Environmental Footprint Through Simulation. Under pressure to reduce energy and resource consumption while eliminating or capturing emissions and waste, companies must meet stringent environmental standards. Simulation is a critical technology to improve existing environmental control systems and innovate new solutions.
Mixing
Model the Mixing Process and Blending of Fluid-like Materials. Acting as a virtual protype, a mixing model can help you understand, predict and improve performance across a wide range of applications. Tanks, liquids and mixing processes vary across applications and industries. Simulation helps to evaluate different tank configurations, impeller types and orientations, liquid levels, operating conditions and various fluids.
Gas Liquid Systems
Critical to chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical processes, the effective design, scale up and operation of gas liquid process equipment systems delivers significant productivity and efficiency impact over the lifecycle of the equipment. Simulation enables you to ensure optimal performance gets replicated across scales of operation before expensive equipment is installed and commissioned.
Heat Exchangers
Used in a variety of settings across a range of scales, heat exchangers must perform reliably, often in harsh conditions, and be durable enough to operate effectively despite extremes of cyclical thermal loading—sometimes for years without replacement. Simulation offers a critical tool to optimize heat exchange performance, select the most appropriate materials and predict durability and life. Ansys heat exchanger simulation application capabilities provide that reliability.

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.
Flownex
Flownex Simulation Environment delivers technology that enables you to study how systems will behave in the real world, where fluid is the driving factor. Flownex determines pressure drop and heat transfer for the connected components of a complete system in steady state and transient (e.g. Pumps or compressors. Pipes. Valves. Tanks and heat exchangers). Flownex system simulation relays the overall effect of changing specific properties on components, allowing clients to examine extensively all possible variations of a system in the design and optimization of systems.
