DOES ANSYS 15 WORK ON WINDOWS 10 KEYGEN
This allows a couple of workflows to function. In 15.0 onwards, it’s now possible to begin a simulation process using previously created meshes, rather than pure analytic geometry from a 3D CAD system. While this continues (and this likely to become more so with the recent acquisition of SpaceClaim this month), the team has realised that many users also have data available (particularly mesh data) in other systems that they’d like to be able to use and reuse. Since its inception, Workbench has always relied (for the most part) on the import of engineering geometry - whether using Ansys’ own DesignModeler system or a third party application (to which Ansys has many links and integrations). In short, if you’ve got a workstation with multiple cores or threads available, it’ll use them to process your meshing tasks.īolted connections now give much more information, particularly when it comes to how threads perform Now, Ansys works in parallel on a per part basis and does so without the inherent limitations of Ansys’ HPC licensing (which is a whole other article). In previous releases, it worked in serial, meshing the first part, then the second, then the next - and so on. What’s interesting is how this has changed. The big news on the meshing front for this release is that the core meshing tools in Ansys now run across multiple cores/threads. Where Workbench differentiates itself is by allowing you to focus on those areas, reworking the simulation to create a solid mesh that gives a more holistic description of the effected parts, then ensuring that those loads, restraints and contact conditions defined in the previous study are reused to learn more, in greater detail. This, in turn, will give you an indication of where stress concentration exists, where areas of concern are found and where you need to focus your engineering skills.Īll this is pretty standard fare in most systems. This type of set-up can be simulated much more efficiently, using a coarse mesh across the whole of the product. By using shell elements (which are essentially 2D elements in 3D space) to represent the various aspects (such as frame, pressure vessel, etc.) in a more lightweight form. Luckily, the FEA world gives us some handy shortcuts to idealise such a problem and reduce the overhead of work.
Modelling and analysing something of this size using solid elements would require both a huge amount of time to set-up, then to execute. Much of this centres on the ability to use the most appropriate modelling technique to solve the problems you’re working on then change it to focus in on details where needed - best illustrated by stepping through the workflow.Ī results set showing how delamination or peel occurs in a composite formĬonsider a large, complex model (perhaps of an oil transportation vehicle). When it comes to large simulation tasks (in terms of geometry complexity), this release has a few tricks up its sleeve. This enables users to take their own assets and publish them for others to take advantage of, perhaps bringing them into Workbench as entities on their own or even distributing them publically through an app store like approach. The last few releases have seen the ACT (Ansys Customisation Template) environment start to flesh out. Workbench rewrote the book on how Ansys users interacted with the underlying technology, but it’s also the case that longtime users have a lot of experience and knowledge built into scripts, automation routines and other in-house developed items. So, while we haven’t the room to explore everything that’s up to date and new in this release, let’s step through some of the big ticket items and see where Ansys Workbench is heading with the 15.0 release. It’s a simple, very basic, example, but it shows how the system handles much of the grunt work that analysts could spend days on - just trying to get data from one simulation ‘type’ to another. Any updates back at that initial ‘block’ can then be propagated into those solves,īe they structural linear problems, CFD or indeed, a mix of the two. The clever part is how Workbench is handling the transformation and repurposing of that data.Ī good example is using a geometry import handling ‘block’ then using this to feed geometry into multiple solve ‘types’.
