• Perform advanced electronics cooling analyses that can include condensation, evaporation and more, with a new direct ECAD workflow for printed circuit board (PCB) that enables the import of an ECAD directly from the Fluent interface without additional software required. • Compute Optical Path Length / Optical Path Difference (OPL/OPD) due to aero-optical aberrations directly in Ansys Fluent and to export them to OpticalStudio for more sophisticated optical analyses (beta). • Generate photo-realistic renderings of your simulations with live preview, custom environments, material editor, light presets, etc. with the new OSPRay raytracing engine available in Fluent (beta). Ansys CFX and Turbo Tools • A new plugin streamlines the workflow for using the CFX Solver in optiSLang, enabling to run design points concurrently and to leverage optiSLang's parametric licensing. • You can now add blade blends, create partial tip geometry at the hub/shroud and adjust the blade stagger angle directly in TurboGrid. Use profile/curves as the input geometry, then TurboGrid will automatically create the high-fidelity CAD with the additional blade features and produce a high- quality mesh. Ansys Rocky • Fully integrated SPH (Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics) solver with upgraded unified user interface (setup and post processing) to create a single SPH-DEM workflow environment. The new release provides an efficient simulation workflow for modeling particle-laden free surface flows and adds heat transfer between the particles, fluids, and walls. • Extending simulation domain flexibility to include inlets and outlets for both particles (DEM) and fluids (SPH elements) provides a range of flexibility to set up particle and fluid injections, accelerate geometry and problem set up and easy accounting of mass flows within the domain and the boundaries. • Expanded coupling with Ansys Fluent highlighted by usability improvement through Rocky-Fluent two- way coupling in Ansys Workbench. The new release also provides more accurate heat transfer calculations for particle-laden flows by including particle-wall heat transfer models. Ansys Chemkin-Pro • Accurately simulate Zel'dovich/von Neumann/Döring (ZND) explosive detonations with a new end-to- end workflow that includes enhancements in the treatment of the incident shock speed in the Chemkin-Pro shock model. • A new Plasma Multiphase Perfectly Stirred Reactor (PSR) enables accurate prediction of plasma-water processes like the carbon-free ammonia production and the removal of toxic substances (beta). Ansys Forte • A new Arc Channel Tracking (ACT) spark model improves accuracy and enables to capture short-circuit and restrike events when simulating ignition and flame propagation in IC Engines. • A new moving monitor probe with prescribed movement allows tracking properties of a fluid pocket as it moves from the suction to discharge ends in pumps and compressors simulations. • A new runtime framework providing time-averaged statistics for any spatially resolved flow variable improves productivity for Large Eddy Simulations (LES) and quasi-steady conditions analyses.
