©2026 ANSYS, Inc. 3 Ansys Structures 2026 R1 Direct Morph Workflow • Send meshed bodies to Direct Morphing Workflow and reduce the need to roundtrip between Geometry Prep and Mechanical • Mesh can be created in Mechanical or imported via External Model • Mesh Workflow Input now supports transfer of Mesh Resource Prediction Enhancements • Resource Prediction now supports GPU recommendation and runs in MAPDL • Users can use this feature to determine when GPU acceleration is beneficial Mixable Density – Rib Design • Topology optimization for simulating thinner products now possible • Add Ribs, stiffeners etc while evaluating design for manufacturability Sherlock App in Ansys Mechanical • Seamless access to Sherlock from within Ansys Mechanical to facilitate quick changes to the PCB Stackup properties and more • Enables rapid modeling and fine-tuning of areas of interest for design evaluations LS-DYNA Line Charting Capabilities • Customizable Chart Title and Legend & Editable Labels • Extended Support for Source Objects • Choose Independent Variables for Charting instead of only plotting against "Time" giving users choice & flexibility Avoid Modal Restart in MSUP Workflow • Users can generate load vectors in Modal analysis and consume & scale those load vectors in downstream analysis to gain significant performance Ansys Structures – What's New
