ANSYS 12 delivers innovative, dramatic simulation technology advances in every major physics discipline, along with improvements in computing speed and enhancements to enabling technologies such as geometry handling, meshing and post-processing. These advancements alone represent a major step forward on the path forward in Simulation Driven Product Development. But ANSYS has reached even further by delivering all this technology in an innovative simulation framework, its latest-generation ANSYS Workbench.

ANSYS Workbench is the framework upon which the industry’s broadest and deepest suite of advanced engineering simulation technology is built. An innovative project schematic view ties together the entire simulation process, guiding the user through even complex multiphysics analyses with drag-and-drop simplicity. With bi-directional CAD connectivity, an automated project level update mechanism, pervasive parameter management and integrated optimization tools, the ANSYS Workbench delivers unprecedented productivity, enabling Simulation Driven Product Development.

ANSYS structural mechanics solutions offer best-in-class simulation tools for product design and optimization that increase productivity, minimize physical prototyping and help deliver better and innovative products in less time. These solutions tackle real-world analysis problems by making product development less costly and more reliable. A broad spectrum of capabilities cover a range of analysis types, elements, contact, materials, equation solvers, and coupled physics capability all targeted toward understanding and solving complex design problems.

Based on the nCode DesignLife product, our solutions provide intuitive and easy to use software for performing fatigue analysis of finite element models.
