Listening to your needs, we have been able to identify a number of themes which form the basis of our roadmap and guide our developments
Motivation
ANSYS Workbench is originally a geometry based tool. Many users however also need to control and access the finite element information.
Reviewing Connections
Spot Welds
Connections created internally at the solution level are available and can help understand the results
Selections of Nodes
Nodes can be grouped into named selections based on selection logic, using locations or other characteristics or manual selections
Box Selection Node Picking Lasso Selection
11
Nodal orientation allows users to orient nodes in an arbitrary coordinate system. Direct FE loads and boundary conditions can be applied to selections of nodes.
Nodes are oriented in cylindrical system for loads and boundary condition definitions
12 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
Results are displayed on elements for which all nodes are selected. Nodes named selections allow to scope on specific regions of the mesh or remove undesired areas.
Added after initial solve Analysis Settings tabular data: No restart point is lost
Nodal Forces and Pressures objects can be added to a restart analysis without causing the restart points to become invalid. Other loads can now be modified without losing the restart points.

15
MSUP Transient Analysis supported Joint feature can now be used in Harmonics, Random vibration analysis Reaction Force & Moment results is now supported
Joints in Harmonic Analyses

17
Motivation
Exchange files are frequently used to transfer quantities from one simulation to another. Efficient mapping of point cloud data is required to account for misalignment, non matching units or scaling issues.
18
New at R14.0
19
Increased Accuracy
The smoothness of the mapped data depends on the density of the point cloud.
20
Visual tools have been implemented to control how well the data has been mapped onto the target structure
21 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
Multiple files can be imported for transient analyses or to handle different data to be mapped on multiple bodies
22
23
Motivation
ANSYS Mechanical users need to be able to quickly create shaft geometries as well as analyze dynamic characteristics of rotating systems
Industrial fan (Venti Oelde)
24
Geometry Creation
Geometries can be imported from a CAD system or imported from a simple text file definition as used in preliminary design
25
ANSYS provides an interface that allows to import bearing characteristics from an external file
26
Solver choice
Coriolis effect
27
Campbell Diagrams
Campbell diagrams are used to identify critical speeds of a rotating shaft for a given range of shaft velocities
28
Composites Enhanced Analysis Workflow and Advanced Failure Models for Composites
29
Motivation
Efficient workflows and in-depth analysis tools are required to model and understand complex composites structures
30
Composites material require specific definitions including orthotropic properties, as well as some constants for failure criteria (TsaiWu, Puck, LaRc03/04, Hashin)
31 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
Users can define simple layered sections for a shell body as well as define thicknesses and angles as parameters
32
For complex geometries, the ANSYS Composite PrepPost tool is used and layer definitions are imported in the assembly model in ANSYS Mechanical.
33
ANSYS Composite PrepPost offers comprehensive capabilities for global and plywise failure analysis.
34 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
2D laminar composite
Initial crack
Crack growth simulation based on VCCT is available to simulate interfacial delamination. Progressive damage is suitable for determining the ultimate strength of the composite (last-ply failure analysis)
35
36
Motivation
Many of you have expressed the need for: Computing and displaying specific results Be able to achieve more complex User defined results
37
The Design Assessment system enables the selection and combination of upstream results and the ability to optionally further assess results with customizable scripts
38
DA + Allow all Available Results allows beam results Modal=No Beam Results
Filtering of potentially invalid combinations can be suppressed to enable greater user control. This allows the user to access results not typically available in the base analysis.
39 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
Expressions using
mathematical operators as supported by Python
41
Motivation
In order to connect meshes of different surface parts so as to merge nodes at intersections, users do not always want or cannot merge the topologies at the geometry level. Mesh based connections are required.
42
Mesh Connections
Mesh connections work at part level: As a post mesh operation Base part mesh is stored to allow for quick changes in connections
43
44
45
Virtual topologies are handled more interactively through direct graphics interaction rather than tree objects.
46
Hard vertices can then be used to create face splits from virtual edges.
47
49
Motivation
Many mechanisms and assemblies have components that operate through contact.
In order to maintain the rapid turnaround for RBD simulations, there has been a subsequent focus on improving speed, accuracy and reliability of the contact capability.
50 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
Performance Improvements
The applicability, robustness and efficiency of the contact has been improved for speed and accuracy expect a typical 2-5x speed-up
51
52
Motivation
While already providing leading edge technology, ANSYS continues to enhance its ability to robustly and efficiently solve complex contact problems
53
Projected Contact
Regular contact Projection based
The Surface Projection Based Contact provides more accurate results (stresses, pressures, temperatures) and is now also available for bonded MPC contacts
Contact stabilization technique dampens relative motions between the contact and target surfaces for open contact
55
56
Motivation
Taking advantage of the latest hardware is mandatory to solve your large models.
A combination of relatively new technologies provides a breakthrough means to reduce the time to solution

61
Motivation
ANSYS provides a comprehensive library of advanced materials. Some users however need even more advanced models to include complex nonlinear phenomena in their simulations.
62
Coupled field-elements for strongly coupled thermo-mechanical analysis now accounts for plasticity induced heat generation along with friction effects

64 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
66
Motivation
The solver techniques available from our solutions allow to model complex phenomena. In some cases, better or different techniques are required to improve the accuracy or the convergence of the models.
67 2011 ANSYS, Inc. November 22, 2011
68
Moisture Diffusion
Moisture induces hydroscopic stresses and alters thermal stresses. Coupled-field elements allow to incorporate moisture effects in thermal, structural and coupled simulations.
71
72
Motivation
Explicit formulations extend the range of problems a structural engineer can solve. Providing handling capabilities similar to implicit solutions provides an easy transition from implicit to explicit.
73
Crimping
Implicit and explicit solutions share the same user interface for a shortened learning curve and allow straightforward data exchange between disciplines
74
The new tetrahedral element helps quickly model complex geometries for low velocity applications such as drop tests for mobile phones or nuclear equipments
75
Similarly to implicit analyses, 2D plain strain and axisymmetric formulations provide faster computation of explicit solutions
76
77
Motivation
With every release, ANSYS improves the quality of the geometry tools available in Workbench in order to increase the quality of the geometric data.
79
Usability Enhancements
Toolbars can be customized for easy and direct access to preferred features and tools.
