ANSYS Fluent offers a new experience that enables novice or expert users to run robust computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in less time and with less training than ever before. Easy-to-use, task-based meshing workflows and Mosaic technology — coupled with Fluent’s CFD solvers — deliver great results, without compromise. Easier to use A streamlined workflow facilitates multiphase simulation setup. A single, tabbed panel organizes setup into a logical, step-by-step flow. In a benchmark gas–liquid pipe flow simulation, the new setup proved 25% faster. More CFD solutions

As the digital and physical worlds become one, products are growing in complexity. Companies are facing unrelenting pressure to innovate, lower cycle times and reduce costs, while also increasing quality and eliminating risk. Simulation is becoming ‘pervasive’ within the entire engineering enterprise from Digital Exploration to Digital Prototyping to Digital Twins. ANSYS gives you the tools to tackle the complexities of designing, manufacturing and maintaining your products and processes. You can expand your simulation activities throughout your product lifecycle, from design validation to exploring the “what ifs” of your products, facilitating innovation, lowering development and operational costs and improving time to market.
ANSYS software enables you to create a digital twin of your products. A digital twin is a real-time, virtual copy of an actual operating machine that provides insight into individual product performance and maintenance. Sensors on the machine relay data, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, voltage and loading, to the digital twin, and the twin evolves in step with the machines working environment. The digital twin can predict conditions long before they happen, so you can monitor the twin and replace a distressed component, or take other corrective actions, during scheduled downtime rather than making an untimely shutdown. You can also use the collected data to improve the design of next-generation products.
ANSYS provides simulation solutions for all physics types within the ANSYS Workbench platform. You can invest in the appropriate single or multi-physics solutions associated with your products and processes to create ‘virtual prototypes’.
