PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineers can
accelerate product development time and more accurately predict
in-flight icing to improve aircraft safety thanks to advancements
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) has delivered with two new product releases.
The most recent release of ANSYS® SpaceClaim™ and
ANSYS® FENSAP™ dramatically enhances speed,
efficiency and reliability – providing users with revolutionary
workflows and unique capabilities.
As companies turn to rapid digitalization for every facet of
product development, the ability to easily manipulate geometry for
both design and manufacturing is crucial. ANSYS SpaceClaim 2016
transforms product development by empowering users to quickly and
easily manipulate 3-D models across the entire product development
cycle. SpaceClaim's unique approach delivers superior ease of use
and productivity, providing the user with extreme flexibility
within product workflows.
"Since day one, our focus has been to provide customers with a
solution to quickly create, edit or repair geometries as needed in
an open platform environment," said Frank
DeSimone, senior director of product development at ANSYS.
"For this release, we focused on solving challenges working with
complex geometry, developing new tools like the Shrinkwrap and Skin
Surface to decrease the time needed to reverse-engineer parts or
prepare models for 3-D printing."
Whether creating designs, editing, cleaning geometries from
other tools or reverse engineering existing products, SpaceClaim
leapfrogs previous releases by delivering unprecedented results
such as 10-times faster 3-D modeling compared to other products on
the market. Start-up time is two to four times improved; large
model save and load stages are 100 times their former speed; and
some tools, such as imprint, result in a 200-times speed
improvement. From machinist to simulation analyst, existing users
will see vast improvements and users of other tools will be amazed
by the novel approach to geometry.

Aerospace engineers who analyze aircraft icing can take
immediate advantage of the comprehensive state-of-the-art
capabilities with FENSAP-ICE and FENSAP-ICE Turbo. The new release
— the first since ANSYS acquired this technology – provides
improved integration with ANSYS CFX software, its class-leading
turbomachinery fluid dynamics simulation software. The
enhanced integration enables users to take advantage of the unique
capabilities of FENSAP-ICE and FENSAP-ICE TURBO to optimize designs
and improve safety by more accurately predicting ice formation in
jet engines.
The new release adds numerous enhancements for users of these
two systems, enabling them to predict in-flight icing for aircraft,
engines, probes and components more efficiently and accurately. The
FENSAP product family incorporates speed-up and efficiency gains,
enabling the user to incorporate icing prediction in their
simulation-driven product development processes.
"The new release delivers streamlined import and export of
required data for more efficient and accurate exchange between the
FENSAP products and ANSYS computational fluid dynamics solutions,"
said Andre Bakker, senior director
of fluids business unit, ANSYS. "Maximizing the accuracy of icing
simulation ensures that the engineering insight gained from
analysis and the resulting design decisions made truly serve to
improve flight safety."
The FENSAP release also includes a number of enhancements and
extensions that further efficiency, including more flexible meshing
options, faster solution algorithms, direct extraction of key
simulation results and more powerful post-processing. These
contribute to reducing the time and effort required to investigate
and solve complex questions associated with icing.
