Powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics Software forOptimization of Product Development and Processes

Understanding the motion of liquids and gases is crucial in many branches of engineering. Until recently, studies of fluids in motion were confined to the labor- atory. But with the rapid growth in computer processing power, software applications now bring numerical analysis and solutions of flow problems to the desktop. In addition, the use of common interfaces and workflow processes makes fluid dynamics accessible to designers as well as analysts.Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an integral part of the engineeringdesign and analysis environment at many companies that need to predict the performance of new designs or processes before they are manufactured or implemented. For more than 20 years, companies around the world have trusted ANSYS

® technology to contribute to their successes.Fluid dynamics is used in industries including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, power generation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, biomedical, oil and gas, marine, and many others. From ventilation comfort in large buildings to the tiniest scale in micro-pumps and nanotechnology, a wide range of applications can be addressed due to the scalable nature of fluid dynamics. ANSYShas considerable expertise in using simulation-driven design to improve performance for pumps, fans, turbines, compressors and other rotating machinery, and the company has incorpo- rated this into all elements of ANSYS CFX software, making it a leader in this demanding field. Specialized models for combustion, reacting flows and radiation, among others, help provide the insight into equipment and processes required to increase production, improve product longevity and decrease waste.

One Environment

The ANSYS
® Workbench
™ environment provides a single setting for simulation fromstart to finish, enabling users to perform more product development tasks faster. ANSYS Workbench delivers the basis for a full computer-aided engineering (CAE) solution from ANSYS, providing access to a wide variety of simulation technologies. All settings are persistent and are connected back to the parametric computer-aided design (CAD) model, from analysis-specific modifications made to the geometry through the application of physics, solver control parameters, graphic objects created during post-processing and quantitative expressions evaluating performance.
