ANSYS Discovery AIM

ANSYS Discovery AIM provides higher fidelity and increased simulation capability in a user friendly environment enabling engineers to fully understand 

​

Up to 80% of the cost of a product’s development is determined by the decisions you make early in the design process. Upfront simulation is digitally exploring design concepts and testing critical design choices early in the product lifecycle using simulation. Upfront simulation gives you the information to make informed decisions, reduce costly physical prototypes, and avoid unworkable designs down the road. Upfront simulation helps you bring innovation to market faster and less expensively.

Today's Engineering Challenge is to extend the value of 3D to everyday engineering communications

SpaceClaim helps engineers interact with CAD geometry in exciting new ways. Any engineer can make dramatic edits to models, conceptualize on-the-fly, and communicate quickly and easily with colleagues, customers, and suppliers.

Engineering teams can finish projects with ease, in a fraction of the time. Sales and business development groups can win more business by using SpaceClaim to communicate their proposals in compelling and realistic 3D.

Take a look at the features :

• Physics Aware Meshing
  Based on the desired type of physics solution and setup, AIM intelligently creates an appropriate mesh.

• Fluid flow
  Accurately simulate key fluid flow problems such as reducing pressure drop, calculating lift and drag coefficients, evaluating fluid loads and predicting flow behaviour.

• Static stress
  Analyse static deflections and stresses for complex parts and assemblies using static stress analysis, including nonlinear contact, structural joints and large deflections.

• Topology Optimisation
  Create novel shapes that optimise material usage, which either maximise the strength of a design or minimise the response to free vibration.

• Modal analysis
  Determine, with proven modal analysis, the natural frequencies and vibration characteristics of your product designs to fully understand product longevity and durability.

• Electromagnetics
  Rapidly simulate static magnetic fields and current conduction to accurately evaluate the electromagnetic performance of your designs.

• Thermal
  Ensure your designs perform properly within their expected temperature ranges by accurately simulating thermal performance.

• Polymer extrusion
  Reduce trial-and-error iterations and quickly troubleshoot unexpected problems when simulating polymer extrusion processes and evaluating die designs.
