Aim: - Introduction to Ansys workbench, application & advantage

History: - Ansys is an American public company based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. It
develops and markets engineering simulation software. Ansys was found in 1970 by
John Swenson Sold his interest in the company to venture capitalists in 1993. Ansys
went public on NASDAQ in 1996. In the 2000s, Ansys made numerous acquiring
additional technologies for fluid dynamics, electronics design & other physics analysis.
In 1996 Ansys released the design structural analysis software, the LS-DYNA crash and
drop test simulation product & the Ansys Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
Simulator. Ansys also added parallel processing support for pc with multiple processors.

Version 6.1 of the main Ansys product was released in December 2001. This version
made large scale modelling practical for the 1st time,

Version 8.0 was published in 2005 and introduced Ansys fluid structure interaction
which simulates the effect structures and fluids have on one another.

In 2009 version 12 was released with an overhauled 2nd version of workbench, Ansys
also began increase sing consolidating features into the workbench software.

Version 1.5 of Ansys has released in 2013. It added a new feature for composites, bolts
connections, & better mesh tools.

Version 1.8 was released in Jan 2020 which updating Ansys simulation process & data
management (SPDM) materials information & electromagnetics product offerings.

Module

• Workbench (Ansys)
Ansys Workbench is the integration & workflow platform thet connects Ansys products.
The project schematic enables using to configure through parametric management
submit jobs to solve both locally & remote and add apps that allow for third party
software.

• Ansys APDL
Ansys parametric design language (APDL) is a powerful structured scripting language
used to interact with the Ansys Mechanical Solver (APDL) has been around since the
1980s, Mechanical APDL, a finite element analysis program, is driven by ADDL, APDL
& MAPDL can be used for analysis to setting up. Ansys was the 1st commercial
simulation tool provider to offers user a VR stile programming language to create
parametric models for systematic analysis.

Application of Ansys

1. Antenna design & placement (electromagnetic simulation of antenna design and

its interactions with the entire system).
2. Battery Cell & Electrode (it simulations accurately model electrochemistry
before the manufacturing process).
3. Battery simulations (its battery modeling & simulation use Multiphysics to help
maximize battery performance),
4. Flight Control
5. 3D design
 6. Electronics
7. Autonomous sensor development.
8. Autonomous software development.
9. Autonomous system development
10. Aerospace
11. Fluids dynamics
12. Bridges & Buildings
13. Heavy equipment & Machineries
14. CFD
15. Multiphysics

Advantages

1. Ansys can import all kind of CAD geometrics from different CAD software’s.
2. It has the capability to performing advanced engineering simulations accurately.
3. It has the capability to optimize various features like geometrical design,
boundary condition.
4. It has its own customized tool called Act which used python as a background
scripting language.
5. It uses certain inputs & evaluate the product behaviors to physics.
Disadvantage

1. It doesn’t give the exact result.

2. Expensive to build a simulation model.
3. Need expert to operate.
