ANSYS Mechanical
Flagship finite element analysis (FEA) tool for structural, thermal, acoustic and other effects
- Applications from linear statics to complex transient simulations involving nonlinear materials
- User-friendly tree-based graphical interface
- Built in topology optimization to find optimum geometry shapes that efficiently meet objectives
- Strong two-way connections with ANSYS tools in the Electrical, Fluids and Systems spaces
ANSYS LS-Dyna
An explicit analysis tool that is capable of simulating parts/assemblies that are subjected to large loads within a very short period of time
- Applications include automotive crash testing, sport impact, metal crimping, etc.
- Integrated into ANSYS Mechanical, providing easy-to-use interface of for pre and post processing
ANSYS Autodyn
Models short time duration events such as impact, drop testing, explosions, and more
- Solves for complex interaction between all phases of matter due to built-in structural and fluid solvers
- Simulates anything from large material deformation and failure to shock wave propagation
- Accurately captures the effects of drop tests or impact on an assembled product (in conjunction with ANSYS Mechanical)
ANSYS nCode
Evaluate fatigue life of components and/or assemblies
- Utilizes the stress/strain information from an upfront FEA analysis to predict life and damage
- Capture fatigue life in complex, real-world loading duty cycles
