Realize Your Product Promise™ Systems & Multiphysics

Realize Your Product Promise Systems and Multiphysics Analysis With a robust technology platform and industry-leading multiphysics, ANSYS moves your engineering team beyond localized areas of design — and simulates the system as a whole. Your organization faces complex (and sometimes competing) pressures like never before. You need to create the next “must-have” product. That product must be first to market. It has to be affordable for your customers, yet priced so your organization turns a profit. And, of course, it has to work as advertised. The challenges don’t stop there: You have to...

A perplexing problem for mobile phone users is dropped calls. EPCOS leveraged our suite to simulate the transient dynamic response of an innovative RF-MEMS switch for improving cell phone signal strength. The approach accounted for fluid, electrostatic and mechanical effects in a single model, providing fast turnaround for rapidly changing cell phone requirements. Product Complexity Drives Systems Approach Many organizations have responded to increased competition by designing “smart” products. Such next-generation devices — ranging from cellular phones to automobiles to wind turbines —...

Voith Turbo reduces the cost of developing quiet train fans with ANSYS software, simulating a complete railcar cooling system. The 50-millionelement mesh balanced the need for critical details with available resources. Greater than the Sum of its Parts Component-level simulation has generated incredible returns. Imagine what your business can achieve by analyzing subsystems together in a virtual world. Few product systems are affected by just one physical force. In the real world, products undergo a wide range of thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic and fluidic forces. Consequently, any...

Isolated product failures can damage an organization in the form of reputation, sales, stock price, warranty claims, legal costs and credit rating. Product integrity is a critical issue in complex systems such as cars and airplanes, in which electronic and electromechanical components are developed by multiple vendors, increasing the opportunity for crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, or EMI. A Single Resource for Technology Leadership With the broadest and deepest multiphysics capabilities available today, ANSYS is uniquely qualified to support your business as it moves toward...

Courtesy Mazzucconi. “As multiphysics and advanced modeling methods become more advanced, simulation-based engineering and science will be indispensable in meeting the technological challenges of the 21st century. The process will not be ‘simulation as usual’ for narrow studies of individual parts and assemblies, but it will be focused on complex, interrelated engineering systems and analysis results that meet specified standards of precision and reliability.” Stefano Odorizzi Founder and CEO EnginSoft S.p.A. Taming System-Approach Challenges through Real-Time Collaboration ANSYS...

“We look at hundreds to thousands of individual components, analyzed together as a unit: aircraft hydraulic and fuel systems that have to fly for 30 to 50 years and meet certification requirements. We made a conscious decision to achieve greater value from our hardware and software investments. We have significantly increased our throughput, and we are using all the available technologies at Parker Aerospace to expedite design decisions using ANSYS.” Bob Deragisch Manager of Enterprise Systems Parker Aerospace “In the past, CAE methods struggled to be simultaneously fast and accurate,...

Growing Applications for System-Level Simulation Industry thought leaders are already assessing system-level performance in the virtual world. Around the world today, leading organizations apply our software and service offerings in a highly collaborative manner to realize the considerable promise of system-level simulation. By considering the performance of the entire system at the earliest design stages, these pioneers not only minimize the time and costs involved in component prototypes, they reduce the requirements for system assembly, testing, re-engineering and re-assembly. Working in...

In the consumer products sector, yoomi used our technology to develop a baby bottle/milk warmer. The multiphase simulation evaluated many design candidates, enabling yoomi to deliver its product two years ahead of schedule. “Understanding how the whole system works was critical to developing an optimized design in minimal time. We performed a series of design studies using the simulation software and utilized the results to build a simpler analytical model to crunch through thousands of possible geometric alternatives.” Jim Shaikh Founder yoomi Energy In the energy industry, designers of...

General Motors, ANSYS and the University of South Carolina are working together to develop CAE design tools that accurately represent multiphysics phenomena across a wide range of scales for cells and packs, funded by an award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The project will contribute to making HEV/EV batteries more affordable, better performing and longer lasting. ANSYS: Robust Technologies for the Only System-Level Perspective No other software provider can match the multiphysics depth and breadth, the shared technology platform, and the...

“Our customers don’t ask for components, they send us a system to design. And in these systems you have thermal, mechanical and electromagnetic concerns, the design needs to function reliably, you need to cut costs, and you have to design in all these parameters very early. We can investigate these with ANSYS tools. If you address all of your problems at the system level, you have the agility to choose the specific technology at the component level. It helps us to make an edgier design.” Pierre Solomalala Power Electronics R&D Engineer Alstom Transport Tools for Unique Challenges Beyond...
