ANSYS

A multiphysics solution that accurately simulates complex
physical phenomena—such as structural, fluid, electromagnetic,
and thermal behavior—in a 3D virtual environment.

Ansys Discovery

Real-time 3D simulation for design engineers

A tool that allows users to instantly view analysis results immediately after design changes—without complex setup or mesh generation. Structural, fluid, and thermal analyses can be performed quickly and easily from the early design stage, enabling even non-experts to validate ideas instantly and achieve optimal designs.

Key Features

  • Ansys structural and fluid analysis product data compatibility

  • No mesh generation required

  • Real-time simulation using GPU solver

  • Structural / fluid / topology optimization analysis

Three Stage

Ansys Discovery stages: design validation with mesh-based simulation using Mechanical and Fluent; CAD model creation and editing; integrated 2D and 3D design environment; exploration of design ideas; real-time simulation without mesh generation

Core Functions

3D modelling

3D Modelling

Create parts, assemblies, and drawings. Import, repair, and edit CAD data with ease.

Structural analysis

Structural Analysis

Engineers can test multiple design variations in a short time and obtain immediate feedback on structural performance.

Flow analysis

Flow Analysis

Provides instant solutions and visualization, along with feedback to help understand fluid-related issues.

Thermal analysis

Thermal Analysis

Instantly review heat flow and temperature distribution without waiting for traditional simulation processes.
-Test and refine ideas quickly to identify the most suitable design.

Topology optimization

Topology Optimization

Helps prevent overdesign by optimizing structures based on physical conditions such as natural frequency and applied loads.

Modal analysis

Modal Analysis

Applies to the entire product and provides immediate feedback on vibration behavior. Enables observation of various vibration modes and quick identification of problematic frequencies.

Parametric study

Parametric Study

Automates variations in geometry and simulation conditions during product development, allowing rapid exploration of multiple design possibilities.
