The integration of products through Ansys Workbench enables users to leverage additional technology to broaden their scope of simulation.

Enhancements include:

  • Ansys Sherlock integration with Ansys LS-DYNA through a single-click automated workflow in Workbench that rapidly creates meshed models for drop-test simulations in LS-DYNA, amongst other analysis types.  
  • Increased exposure of LS-DYNA technologies in Ansys Mechanical including Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) and implicit/explicit solutions that enable workflows such as pre-stress loading and restarts for drop-test simulations.
  • Streamlined multistage analysis with Ansys Mechanical offers differing cyclic symmetry sector counts in the same model, delivering tremendous time saving by reducing the model size and cutting the run time by up to 50X.
