Ansys Turbogrid • 2025 R1 further extends hybrid meshing to features upstream and downstream of the blade meridional flow path, allowing cooling slots and bleeds to be meshed for example. • BladeBuilder adds Workbench support with connections to downstream TurboGrid components. Ansys Rocky • DEM (Discrete Element Method) Simulation: new features as volumetric particle inlet for initial constant velocity, injection time and time periodic injection, intra-particle collision statistics available by pairs of groups and, point cloud enhancements with motion frame and transient time periodic support. • Multiphysics: the multi-body dynamics coupling has been integrated into an internal module, simplifying installation, alongside an optimization of the electromagnetics coupling modules. Now you can use DDPM approach to couple Rocky-Fluent in 2-way simulations and for SPH enhancements, a new pairwise potential surface tension model (beta) is available. • Expanding Installation Options: A free student version is available with the power of the Solver SDK and PrePost Scripting tools and Rocky is now inside the standard automated installer to make its installation easier. Ansys Thermal Desktop • The new Ansys Thermal Desktop Launcher makes it easy to browse recently opened models, create and save user templates, and start new models. • The integration of Thermal Desktop with Ansys ModelCenter is now part of the standard installation instead of a separate plug-in, providing an out-the-box integration between Thermal Desktop and ModelCenter. • A Thermal Desktop node is now available in Ansys optiSLang as a beta feature, bringing optiSLang's design optimization capabilities to Thermal Desktop users. Ansys Chemkin · New reactor model: A new Markstein length calculator reactor model is now available that allows users to evaluate response of premixed laminar flames to imposed stretch rates for improved functionality.
