ANSYS Structural

Product catalog summary
Overview
ANSYS Structural is a comprehensive simulation tool designed to analyze all structural aspects of a product. It supports linear static analyses for stress and deformation, modal analyses for vibration characteristics, and advanced transient nonlinear studies for dynamic effects and complex behaviors.
Key Features
  • High Speed and Accuracy: Utilizes submodeling and substructuring techniques to condense models for rapid computation without compromising accuracy.
  • Element Library: Offers a wide range of elements including beams, shells, solid-shells, and solids to represent complex geometries.
  • Multiphysics Solutions: Enables cross-functional engineering organizations to predict system-level performance and improve component interactions.
Applications and Success Stories
  • Used in projects like Wimbledon’s Centre Court retractable roof and the Bregenz Festival’s floating stage.
  • Biomedical research at the University of Alberta and CERN's Large Hadron Collider have benefited from ANSYS solutions.
  • PowerWind uses ANSYS to ensure the structural integrity of turbines.
Technical Specifications
  • Strength Analysis: Includes static, linear and nonlinear buckling, and substructuring.
  • Geometric Nonlinearity: Supports large strain and large deflection analyses.
  • Material Models: Covers linear, plasticity, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, creep, and reactive materials.
  • Contact Modeling: Features bonded, sliding, pretension, joints, and spot welds.
  • Advanced Modeling: Includes gaskets, cyclic symmetry analysis, rezoning, adaptive remeshing, and fracture mechanics.
  • Vibrations: Modal, spectrum, harmonic, random vibration, rotordynamics, and more.
  • Motion: Rigid/flexible transient analysis.
  • Composite Materials: Material and layer definitions, solid extrusion, failure analysis, and draping.
Preprocessing and Meshing
  • Modeling Capabilities: Supports bidirectional geometry interface for major CAD systems and geometry readers for neutral files.
  • Meshing Capabilities: Includes defeaturing, surface meshing, tetrahedral meshing, and various hex meshing techniques.
  • Boundary Conditions: Allows application of solid model loads, tabular loads, function loads, and temperature loads.

ANSYS Structural-1

ANSYS Structural ANSYS simulation technology enables you to predict with confidence that your products will thrive in the real world. Customers trust our software to help ensure the integrity of their products and drive business success through innovation. Simulate All Structural Aspects of Your Product Conduct linear static analyses that reveal stresses or deformations, modal analyses that determine vibration characteristics, and advanced transient nonlinear studies that focus on dynamic effects and complex behaviors. Combine High Speed with High Accuracy Two reduction techniques — submodeling and substructuring — enable you to condense models for rapid computation, without significantly affecting the accuracy of results. Comprehensive Element Library Represent complex real-world geometries from our library of beams, shells or solid-shells for thin structures, as well as solids that are used in a wide variety of applications. “Our customers want to buy state-of-the-art turbines that have proven technology and are able to run 20 years without any major problems. To achieve such strong structural components, ANSYS is very important for us.” Michael Schuld, Team Leader, Structural Engineering,PowerWind Biomedical researchers at the University of Alberta have relied on ANSYS to manage risk, improve insight and accelerate product development in biomedicine. Wimbledon’s Centre Court retractable roof and the Bregenz Festival’s operatic floating stage met operational design and completion targets as a result of ANSYS structural mechanics analysis.
