Ansys 3D product design tools provide an intuitive and remarkably swift user experience tailored for design engineering workflows. With these tools, teams can foster innovation by generating numerous designs in less time, enabling swift design exploration, and gaining comprehensive insights into real-world product performance. The integration of live physics simulation and precise high-fidelity simulation within a user-friendly interface allows engineers to assess feedback on design modifications effortlessly.
Ansys Discovery suite of products allow teams to design and analyze their product performance seamlessly from a single, intuitive and easy to use interface. Its live physics simulation and high-fidelity simulation capabilities enable product development teams to get critical insights rapidly with design changes.
Simpleware enables the conversion of scan data into accurate 3D models for design, simulation, and additive manufacturing. Advanced image processing and visualization capabilities help engineers extract insights, generate high-quality models, and accelerate image-based engineering workflows.
Rapidly creating and editing geometry within a live simulation environment. Ansys Discovery's direct modelling tools let engineers push, pull, and manipulate 3D geometry interactively — with physics updating in real time so every design change is instantly validated.
Evaluation and placement of antennas through simulation insights using the fast GPU solver. Understand electromagnetic field behaviour, antenna radiation patterns, and signal interference early in the design cycle — reducing costly re-spins during prototype and validation phases.
Exploring the design space to choose the most optimum design by understanding the tradeoffs. Run automated sweeps across geometry dimensions, material properties, and loading conditions to build a comprehensive understanding of your product's behaviour before committing to a final design.
Automated tools available to quickly repair and heal complex, corrupt surfaces in CAD. SpaceClaim can stitch open surfaces, fill gaps, remove self-intersections, and simplify over-complex geometry — producing manufacturing-ready models that pass downstream validation checks first time.
Adjust thickness, bend allowance etc., convert 3D CAD to unfolded layouts. SpaceClaim's sheet metal tools let engineers define material properties, K-factors, and bend radii to produce accurate flat patterns — directly feeding manufacturing drawings and cutting/forming programmes.
Analyse corrupt and dirty surfaces to create optimised models for 3D printing. SpaceClaim automatically detects non-manifold geometry, holes, and thin walls that would cause print failures — and provides tools to repair, hollow, and lattice-fill parts for optimal additive manufacturing outcomes.
