Ansys LS-DYNA • Key enhancements have been made to the LS-DYNA multiple case workflow in Mechanical. This simplifies the setup of multiple cases for a model, as it enables a single analysis system to contain all the different configurations for drop etc. – which can then be solved simultaneously. Case support has also been extended to support additional boundary conditions (Fixed Support, Displacement and Velocity). • Gain improved insights on the performance of virtual prototypes and enable advanced postprocessing within Mechanical by accessing the results available in the time history file of LS-DYNA (Binout). • Wide range of enhancements to meshing for explicit including quality improvements (TET, HEX) and other workflow improvements to get high quality meshes faster (MultiZone performance, Quality Worksheet enhancements, defeaturing, new Stacker meshing method, etc). • Improved ease of use: Contact Property object can now be defined at the model level directly under the Contact Region. This reduces the contact definition to a single object which will be used for each analysis system of the model. Ansys Sherlock / Electronics Reliability Solutions • A new workflow available within Workbench-Mechanical allows users to create a sub-model of a desired local region on a Printed Circuit Board using the Sherlock pre- plug-in. This allows users to perform detailed analysis of a specific board area or component of interest, such as traces or buried vias. Trace models are now rendered more efficiently and with much improved resolution. • Sherlock users can now import strain image maps and strain CSV files gathered from their own simulation results, field data, or test data, and apply them in their random vibration reliability studies in Sherlock. • New APIs allow users to programmatically define natural frequency and random vibration properties in their scripts, thus facilitating additional control to analyses run in batch, along with sensitivity and other studies Ansys Motion • In 2023R2, users can generate multiple condensed parts and flexible bodies and assemble them together via contacts and joints in a single session. This will allow users to increase workflow efficiency and model full, physical systems more accurately. This new capability also drives a common model approach between Ansys Motion and Ansys Mechanical simulations. • New visualization enhancements have been made on contacts with flexible and rigid faces to showcase pressure, velocity, and friction on contour plots to drive more accurate results and post-processing. • As part of Ansys' Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) workflows, Ansys Motion users can directly navigate to Ansys Sound to listen to the sound of their simulations and perform sound analysis to improve various psychoacoustics indicators. Ansys Sound • In the SAS module, users are now able to save and resume in only one click the time data, frequency spectrum windows, and time-frequency spectrogram, allowing projects to be paused and relaunched.
