"Without ANSYS, we would go in blind designing new reactors or making modifications to existing equipment. The confidence level that we get from using simulation is very high: We generally understand the preferred direction to pursue, rather than going in all possible directions." Matteo Fumagalli Innovation Engineer MEMC ANSYS: Leadership across Every Physics Discipline Our software is widely acknowledged among CFD engineers as the industry-leading fluid dynamics simulation technology. And you can combine the tools with our best-in-class technologies in related disciplines such as structural, electromagnetics and thermal analysis, allowing you to solve complex problems involving fluid– structure interactions, flow-induced vibration, and thermal stresses created by fluid flows. You can rely on ANSYS to deliver robust capabilities — individually or in tandem — to produce fast, accurate results. These powerful cross-discipline tools come together via the ANSYS Workbench™ platform, which provides a powerful multi-domain simulation environment for CFD analysis. For example, in FSI studies, Workbench enables easy, intuitive problem setup; automated load mapping between physics; support for dissimilar mesh interfaces; and one-way, two-way and rigid-body FSI analysis. Whatever your industry, application or specific CFD problem, ANSYS offers a tightly integrated software portfolio — and a flexible, intuitive platform — to help you wisely allocate engineering resources in creating optimal products, quickly and cost effectively. ANSYS industry experts continue to develop advanced turbulence models. Especially applicable to the aerospace industry, these ANSYS tools eliminate the trade-offs between speed and accuracy. State-of-the-art research at Petrobras examines heat and mass transfer that occurs in chemical processes. The energy giant chose us because our advanced technology includes physical models important to the petrochemical processes as as well as excellent parallel performance for solving very complex industrial multiphase flows. Blade flutter with compressors and turbines is a serious cause of machine failure — but until recently, design engineers were unable to satisfactorily investigate and avoid this phenomenon. Our bidirectionally coupled CFD and structural tools now predict vibration modes that occur over an entire wheel from a single-blade component model. Fluid– structure interaction accurately predicts how a design will function in a real-world environment. Courtesy PCA Engineers Ltd.
