9 ANSYS Fluent is part of a streamlined platform that manages your product design process from geometry import to optimization. Simulation-Driven Product Development™ relies on design process compression, using solutions that fully automate your simulation workflow — so you can focus on your engineering goals. Our advanced simulation workflow and application technologies are key to accelerating processes and gaining the necessary insight into your product so you can quickly make the right design decisions. With unified ANSYS Workbench workflows, there is no need to purchase, administer or configure third-party coupling software, nor pre- and post- processing software. Multiphysics The ANSYS portfolio of high-fidelity simulation tools enables you to accurately predict real-world, multiphysics behavior of industrial designs. Phenomena such as flow-induced vibration and material deformation induced by fluid can be readily captured using our multiphysics tools. We provide comprehensive technologies for all physics disciplines — structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid flow and electromagnetics. By combining these, you can solve complex industrial engineering challenges to optimize your entire product. ANSYS provides a powerful integrated solution for automating your different physics simulations. Data transfer to and from multiple physics eliminates the time required to manually convert output from one stage of your work process into input for another. Optimization The inherent and integrated parametric capabilities of our simulation framework enables optimization for all types of engineering applications. Third-Party Tools ANSYS provides support within the ANSYS Workbench platform for third-party tools such as CAD software. This extends to simulation capabilities as well. Post-Proccessing and Archival The powerful post-processor for ANSYS CFD provides advanced quantitative and high-quality visual post-processing capabilities, including easy creation of charts, high-quality images and videos. Simulation engineers generate large volumes of data that must be archived in a searchable format. ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager™ (EKM) captures simulation data to greatly improve long-term simulation and efficiency. The Fluent adjoint solver indicates what portion of geometry should be modified as well as how to alter it for optimized down-force on F1 car design. "ANSYS software was absolutely critical to the engineering verification we performed for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao because of its ability to handle complex shapes and free-form surfaces."
