PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first
time engineers can rapidly explore design options and receive
instant and accurate simulation results with new cutting-edge
technology from ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). Available today for
technology preview, ANSYS® Discovery Live™
revolutionizes the speed and ease-of-use of engineering simulation
to make digital exploration available to all engineers so they can
confidently design better products faster and more
economically.
Simulation is one of the most critical engineering technologies
in the age of the Internet of Things, electrification and additive
manufacturing, but it is still the domain of specialists and used
predominantly for the most complex engineering projects. ANSYS is
expanding Pervasive Engineering Simulation™ – empowering every
engineer to take advantage of powerful simulation tools upfront in
the design process. Instead of taking days, months or weeks to set
up, run and analyze digital prototypes with traditional engineering
simulation solutions, Discovery Live allows for every engineer to
immediately examine the impact of their design changes. Users can
pose what-if questions upfront in the design process to rapidly
explore thousands of design options and receive immediate feedback
– enabling the user to digitally explore the impact of changes with
results updating immediately.
"Discovery Live's breakthrough technology places real-time
simulation in the hands of every engineer. Coupled with an
equal step change in ease of use, it enables true digital
experimentation," said Mark Hindsbo, vice president and general
manager, ANSYS. "This will fundamentally change product
development, inverting the traditional process by bringing
simulation upfront and enabling millions of engineers to benefit
from the power of simulation."
ANSYS has undertaken a breakthrough research and development
effort to build a new simulation technology based on the massive
parallel nature of graphics processing units (GPUs). NVIDIA GPUs
deliver supercomputing capabilities and, when combined with the
engineering simulation innovation of Discovery Live, results can
now be calculated thousands of times faster than with conventional
methods. This has been combined with nearly five decades of ANSYS
experience and validation of simulation methods and best practices,
making it intuitive for the non-simulation expert to use the
software.
"Designers, scientists and engineers around the world rely on
ANSYS to accurately predict their final products and projects,"
says Bob Pette, vice president,
Professional Visualization, NVIDIA. "ANSYS Discovery Live
unleashes the power of NVIDIA GPUs and CUDA parallel computing to
make the first ever real-time design environment with simultaneous
visualization and simulation possible. We have a long history of
working with ANSYS and look forward to our continued collaboration
to advance breakthroughs in the way new products are designed and
created."
Discovery Live supports fluids, structural and thermal
simulation applications – enabling engineers to experiment with
design ideas and see instant feedback. Users can run an analysis
first approach as they design – enabling them to iterate with a 3-D
model and interactively explore the impact of simple and complex
changes. Discovery Live's environment provides users with instant
simulation results, tightly coupled with direct geometry modeling
to enable interactive design exploration and rapid product
innovation.
"ANSYS Discovery Live is an exciting new tool that is very easy
to use and can help us potentially move faster, learn new things
and help us be more innovative. The tool allows us to use multiple
physics and the results are practically instantaneous, so we can
get answers to the quick 'what-if' studies very quickly – helping
us engage more people in simulation with the ultimate goal of
moving faster, better products on time," said Bob Tickel, director of structural and
dynamic analysis, Cummins. "Cummins is committed to analysis-led
design and I believe that Discovery Live will propel us forward
faster in this area. We are very impressed and we see the potential
to deploy this technology globally across all our different
businesses."
