o Enhanced precision and adaptability to support optimized designs across diverse industries. Ansys LS-DYNA New Features • Introduction of Continuum Particle Gas (CPG) o Innovative CFD method tailored for simulating gas dynamics, particularly in the context of airbag deployment. o The novel particle method solver designed to solve the Navier-Stokes emphasizes the accuracy of gas flows, especially around fabric internal structures, vents, and across different chambers. • Enhanced Incompressible Smoothed Particle Galerkin (ISPG) Method o Adhesive dispensing technique for auto, electronics, high-tech, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. o This is capable of modeling various manufacturing processes involving adhesives, including glue dispensing, droplets dispersion, edge and gap filling, glue spreading, thinning and bonding simulations. • Extended Multiphysics/Battery o New boundary conditions, isopotentials and short definitions, enable single cell level type of simulation. o Exposure of ECM/HPPC Engineering Data and the visualization of the circuit types. Ansys Sherlock New Features • Thermal-Mech Life Predictions for BGA Packages o A new beta feature enables Thermal-Mech Life Predictions for BGA components (using SAC305 Solder). Using an FEA-based approach, this new workflow helps account for system-level effects and additional behaviors, providing additional insights into solder joint fatigue studies. o This workflow also includes a new feature which creates detailed BGA package models for Thermal-Mech analyses. • PySherlock Updates o In combination with PyWorkbench and PyMechanical, new PySherlock APIs help facilitate the end-to-end automation of submodel and plug model workflows. o ICT Analyses can now be automated, leveraging new APIs to work with Test Points and Fixtures. Users can go further by integrating scripts for this (and many other workflows) into Ansys optiSLang to perform sensitivity and optimization studies. • Sherlock-Workbench and Sherlock Performance Improvements o Improved State-Awareness checks allow models in Ansys Workbench/Mechanical to go out-of-date when making changes in Ansys Sherlock that will affect the state of the model. o Implemented optimizations in the RST file import process. Some of the process now makes use of parallel processing with the number of threads to use controlled by a direct setting. o New FEA setting called "Copy Imported RST File" which when disabled will cause Sherlock to access the imported RST from its source location instead of copying the file into the module working directory.
