Certain key generator characteristics; the subtransient reactance, the open-circuit saturation curve, and the output voltage signal harmonic distortion can be difficult to predict and are typically determined from physical testing. Using ANSYS Emag enables us to determine these key generator characteristics and accurately predict generator performance before creating a physical prototype.

ANSYS Multiphysics is limited only by the performance of the hardware on which it is installed.

Our goal in designing the new C130 jaw crusher was to deliver greater work capacity without increasing the weight of the machine. We used ANSYS SpaceClaim to create multiple design alternatives and ANSYS Mechanical to analyze these designs. The new design has a crushing capacity of 270 metric tons per hour and has the same weight as the previous model with a crushing capacity of 245 metric tons per hour. ANSYS HPC played a key role by reducing the time to solve each design alternative from 21 hours to 1 hour.

ANSYS continues to be critical iterative software for design optimization and probabilistic lifing of structural ceramic components under consideration for advanced turbine engines. Ultimately, the ever-increasing versatility and capabilities of ANSYS are allowing structural designers to increase their confidence (and rate) in component designs.

I’ve gained back at least 50 percent of my time with ANSYS SpaceClaim and am now able to focus on analysis and delivering the optimal design changes to new concepts or existing machinery. Pre-processing is no longer the limiting factor. I can access in-house and outside computing resources and have as many as eight simulations running at the same time!

ANSYS and ANSYS Workbench were chosen to be a perfect virtual try out space for TEMSA where new structural designs are being intensely made. Even from the very beginning of product development activities, TEMSA uses ANSYS and Workbench for evaluating and verifying the strength of the structural designs. The activities range from the modal analyses of an engine knuckle to transient analysis of a body frame under tow bar loading conditions, however, the vast majority of structural analyses are usually interpretative linear elastic analyses. The fast analysis of designs in ANSYS’ FEA environment enables us to evaluate the designs and support the designers in a swift manner. Thanks to this opportunity, the failures are foreseen and preventive actions are taken in advance and most probably the final designs are obtained prior to a final real-life test. As a natural consequence, TEMSA saves money and time, and gains substantial benefits by employing the FEA technology using ANSYS.

Overall, the top-down blocking approach of ANSYS ICEM CFD Hexa is much faster than any of the other approaches I have used for the meshing of very irregular shapes with no obvious features. It also allows easy changes in meshing topology and density. The ICEM CFD staff have been really helpful every time we asked for support or advice, even though our application is relatively atypical.

Simulation with ANSYS software enabled us to balance design trade-offs between hydrodynamic performance and structural integrity before investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in injection molds. When the valve was finally molded and assembled, the pressure drop was within 4 percent of that predicted by the fluid dynamics software, and the valve passed its pressure cycling and burst testing on the first try.

I especially appreciate the intuitive nature of SpaceClaim. The tool figures out what I want to do before I tell it – SpaceClaim almost reads my mind.

We changed from Cosmos to DesignSpace, because it is easier to use. It has the ability to solve complex assemblies, and provides better customer support.

As a leading global aerospace and defense company, EADS depends on the development and integration of state-of-the-art technologies in its products to provide the necessary competitive edge. We are using ANSYS software to develop composites that reduce aircraft weight. Using ANSYS Composite PrepPost within ANSYS Workbench provides accurate results that allow us to reduce modeling time by up to 65 percent over traditional solid modeling.

ANSYS Fluent helped to predict engine performance early in the design process by simulating the air intake and exhaust system. Understanding performance using ANSYS software enabled us to improve the engine for the XUV500 and meet air intake and exhaust systems targets, while constrained by a small underhood space. Mahindra and Mahindra reduced design time by two months and reduced costs by 40 percent for air intake and 15 percent for exhaust.

At Dürr, we have been using ANSYS ICEM CFD for seven years. It is our major ü meshing tool. ANSYS ICEM CFD allows us to quickly generate various types of mesh with a high quality over a complicated three-dimensional geometry. Also, using ANSYS ICEM CFD has reduced the time required for our CFD simulations by more than 27%, which is significant.

Using ANSYS Fluent software and Gompute HPC cloud resources, we reached the accuracy level our clients required for our turbulence and heat transfer calculations. Thus we have been able to implement real modifications on their equipment and thoroughly optimize our designs in a shorter period of time. These modifications, designed by KeelWit Technology, have shown an outstanding level of performance at our clients’ premises.

What makes ANSYS ICEM CFD Hexa a suitable tool for us is its ability to read in geometric data from a variety of formats, add to the geometry with their built in geometry tools, build block structured Hexa grids and write out the grids directly in KIVA3V format. What makes ANSYS ICEM CFD Hexa a practical tool for us to use is expert and responsive support staff at ANSYS who help us overcome the challenges specific to our applications.

By comparison, CFX software from ANSYS enabled us to create, analyze, and compare dozens of virtual designs for the ECS in just weeks, then manufacture the components ourselves. By letting us perform that work in-house, CFX tools helped streamline the design and procurement process and deliver a prototype that performed perfectly after a single round of testing.
