APPLICATIONS
Structural Durability and Reliability
Designing efficient, lightweight and reliable turbomachinery is challenging. Pushing efficiency to new limits results in higher operating temperatures, while reduced blade weight and thickness must still meet stress and vibration criteria. Slender blade designs in harsh environments are prone to fatigue and fracture. Miscalculations, even in the smallest degree, result in extremely high maintenance and downtime costs or complete failure, jeopardizing safety of flight. On the other hand, accurate performance prediction ensures durability, which enables designs to push limits. Ansys offers streamlined, advanced aeromechanical workflows to analyze all fluid and structural interactions to ensure new materials and designs are not susceptible to failure.
Increased Efficiency
Known for its extreme robustness, CFX is the gold standard CFD software when it comes to turbomachinery applications. Both solver and models are wrapped in a modern, intuitive, and flexible GUI, with extensive capabilities for customization and automation using session files, scripting and a powerful expression language. Highly scalable high-performance computing will help speed up simulations including pumps, fans, compressors and turbines.
Predictive Maintenance and Digital Twin
As the physical and digital worlds converge to deliver the fourth industrial revolution, simulation is at the forefront, transforming data into actionable insight. Through automation, the Industrial Internet of Things, and digital twins, operational efficiency, reliability, durability and performance of turbomachinery equipment will be improved. At the same time, it will drive down costs, save energy and minimize waste. Ansys simulation solutions are playing a critical role in accelerating this transformation.
Gas Turbine Integrated System Analysis
By utilizing Flownex®’s swift execution ability, engineers could quickly and easily perform design modifications and parametric studies on the combustion chamber. Convection, conduction and
radiation heat transfer was taken into account as well as the effect of fuel ratio on the combustion

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.
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.
