/ Key Highlights
- Modern Ansys Design Language elevates the user experience
(UX) to create a new user interface (UI) paradigm across the Ansys
multiphysics portfolio and increases accessibility
- Native Ansys software integration, an open architecture,
and scalability via high-performance computing (HPC) or the cloud
facilitate seamless collaboration across distributed engineering
teams
- Artificial intelligence (AI) amplifies advanced numerics with
increased speed and more predictive accuracy across physics
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The latest release from Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS),
2024 R1, introduces an elevated user experience designed to
increase digital engineering productivity with AI. Combined with an
open architecture, 2024 R1 streamlines engineering workflows,
facilitates stronger collaboration, fosters real-time interactions,
and elevates project outcomes.
Next-generation products are becoming increasingly complex
systems that include integrated electronics, embedded software, and
ubiquitous connectivity. To ensure the various components of these
systems work together requires the predictive power of integrated
multiphysics simulation solutions. Access to powerful engineering
tools that can solve multiphysics challenges must be easy and
intuitive to keep up with customer requirements for high-quality,
reliable, and more sustainable products. Ansys 2024 R1 improves
accessibility and the user experience with new, customizable
interfaces.
"Increased engineering complexity is a challenge for every
industry, from software-defined electric vehicles, or electric
vertical take-off and landing aircraft, to bespoke silicon and
in-silico healthcare trials," said Shane
Emswiler, senior vice president of products at Ansys. "Ansys
2024 R1 turns challenges into opportunities by improving access to
advanced digital engineering. Removing barriers enables users to
harness the technology necessary for making sense of those
complexities and leverage AI to augment simulation."
The addition of more AI-enabled solutions in 2024 R1 further
accelerates product development and fosters creative design
exploration. The new Ansys SimAI™ solution is industry- and
physics-neutral, enabling users to leverage multiphysics simulation
results to train the AI for increased performance.
Seamless, Intuitive UX Enhances Productivity and
Collaboration
The latest release draws from an updated Ansys Design Language
that defines the look and feel of Ansys software to promote
productivity across all Ansys applications. The flexible design
language provides three design mode choices: Classic Mode for the
same look and feel as previous releases, Light Mode for improved
visibility and aesthetics, and Dark Mode for reduced eyestrain in
low-light environments. Native integration capabilities also
provide in-application access to other Ansys products with one
click.
For example, the model-based design environment of Ansys Scade
One™ for embedded software was built referencing the new
design language, making it both easy to learn and use. It is
designed to integrate seamlessly with cloud computing models and
the many advanced technologies that systems and software engineers
are using today.
Visual Brilliance on top of Multiphysics Excellence and
Increased Compute Power
Ansys 2024 R1 ushers in improvements that go well beyond an
elevated UX. The latest release provides easy access to Ansys'
advanced numerics-based solutions, including world-class
multiphysics models and methods. It also supports massive HPC
scalability to tackle today's complex product design and
development challenges, as well as the flexibility needed to tap
into compute resources when and where they are needed, via
on-premises HPC, bursting to the cloud, or cloud-native
applications.
New features in Ansys Discovery™ 3D simulation software
support cloud-connected burst compute capabilities directly from
the Discovery UI. Testing shows 1,000 simulations can be run in 10
minutes without tying up a local workstation, which massively
accelerates design space exploration and innovation while providing
data sets that can be used to train AI. This phenomenal speed
increase, coupled with AI training, enables engineers to simulate
more product design options earlier in the engineering process.
"Ansys uniquely makes it possible and user-friendly at the same
time to master the multiphysics tasks, which inevitably come
together when developing complex systems such as wind turbines,"
said Dr. Paul Köster, lead R&D engineer, at siWING, which is
developing innovative wind turbines for private use.
Cutting-edge Solutions Enhanced with Artificial
Intelligence
The expansion of AI integration across Ansys
products and services is another example of function following
form. The Ansys SimAI solution and the beta version of
AnsysGPT™ were recently announced. SimAI is a
cloud-enabled generative AI offering that uses previous simulation
results to reliably predict the performance of a new design within
minutes. AnsysGPT is an Ansys-trained AI virtual assistant for 24/7
customer support.
New AI-enabled products launching with 2024 R1 also include
Ansys AI+™ add-ons that augment simulation with a rich
set of multiphysics capabilities using AI. Ansys optiSLang
AI+™, Granta MI AI+™, and CFD AI+™ solutions
are now available, enabling users to enhance the core functionality
of Ansys software. With the new UI, these add-on capabilities are a
click away.
Other 2024 R1 improvements also focus on integration and
efficient user experiences:
- Performance improvements of 5-50X thanks to more efficient
memory use, faster solve time, and disk space optimization for
noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) multiphysics simulation
workflows.
- A dedicated acoustics meshing workflow reduces the time it
takes to prepare complex geometries for simulation by up to
12X.
- Application-specific multiphysics enhancements improve
post-processing times for virtual blade models, which are critical
in urban air mobility applications.
- A single simulation platform and workflow for Ansys Icepak™,
Ansys Mechanical™, Ansys HFSS™, Ansys RaptorX™ and Ansys Q3D
Extractor™ solver engines optimize multiphysics-based
electromagnetic simulation workflows.
- A new Ansys Digital Safety Manager web application enables
centralized planning, monitoring, and validation of Ansys medini
analyze™ safety and cybersecurity projects.
