Meeting Industry Needs through Depth and Breadth of Functionality

Large strain

ANSYS Mechanical solutions offer products and capability that meet the demands of industry through:

Large deflection Stress stiffening Spin softening Coriolis effects

Better design through innovation: Advanced analysis capabilities offer betterinsight into product design and performance, leading to increased quality, lower costs and fewer rejected products.

Contact Definitions Surface-to-surface Node-to-surface

Lower costs and shorter cycles: Tighter product integration between geome-try, meshing, simulation and optimization offers a one-stop solution for end users with reduced software training costs and shorter development cycles.

Node-to-node Beam-to-beam Beam-to-surface Deformable-deformable

Optimized solutions and less prototyping: Integrated optimization tools usingTopological Optimization, Design Optimization and Probabilistic Design allow for tighter designs without repeated costly physical prototypes. The ANSYS Mechanical family of products offers a full depth of analysis from con-cept simulation to advanced analysis; its breadth of simulation capabilities ranges from linear to nonlinear coupled physics analysis. The software provides simulation tools used widely across industry by designers to advanced analysts, providing a full complement of nonlinear and linear elements, material laws ranging from metal to rubber, and the most comprehensive set of solvers available. 11.0 RELEASE
