Structural integrity is one of the most critical considerations in product design. Market pressures dictate that products are stronger, longer lasting and packed with customer-requested features. At the same time, the bottom line must drive time, costs and risk out of the product development cycle while creating ongoing innovations. By leveraging ANSYS software, engineering teams can simulate all structural aspects of a product — conducting linear static analyses that reveal stresses or deformations, modal analyses that determine vibration characteristics, and advanced transient nonlinear studies that focus on dynamic effects and complex behaviors.
