Ansys Discovery

Ansys Discovery is a line for real-time 3D design and rapid assessment of engineering solutions.

2021: Use of modern geometry workflows

On July 20, 2021, Kadfem Si-Ai-Es, a partner of Ansys, announced the release of an updated version of Ansys 2021 R2 software products.

According to the company, in this version, Ansys Discovery received major updates. Engineers will be able to use modern geometry workflows as well as Ansys Discovery simulation capabilities in the updated user interface. More details here.

2020: Advanced direct 3D modeling, reverse engineering, and 3D printing

JSC KADFEM Si-Ai-Es"," a partner of the company, ANSYS announced on January 28, 2020 the release. ANSYS 2020 R1 The main change was the transition to a more flexible licensing scheme for users ON of ANSYS Discovery, ANSYS Fluids and. ANSYS Mechanical This will minimize customer inconvenience and eliminate the need for ANSYS Licensing Interconnect.

Significant updates were received by the ANSYS Discovery software line for real-time 3D design and quick assessment of engineering solutions. Among them:

• The capabilities of ANSYS software SpaceClaim for direct 3D modeling, reverse engineering and 3D printing: from advanced grid exports to various formats, the addition of tools for working with lattice structures and two types of linear bodies (Pipe and Thermal Fluid) to improving the reliability and convenience of sketching with restrictions. You have also improved mesh tools for CFD (Fluid Workflows) tasks.
• Enhancements to ANSYS Discovery Live, which enables real-time 3D calculations. A number of updated functions have appeared, for example, a new sampling method that allows you to model thinner geometric regions and use GPUs with less video memory. With topological optimization, you can now carry out combined static strength and modal calculations, as well as parametric studies.
• Changes to the ANSYS Discovery AIM software include support for additional elastic models, cable and cable modeling capabilities, the ability to specify the cut direction during topological optimization, and the ability to check bodies for looseness before starting the calculation.

Availability

The distribution version of ANSYS 2020 R1 is available for download in the corresponding section of ANSYS Customer Portal, as well as in the offices of KADFEM Si-Ai-Es JSC. License capabilities require the license server to be upgraded to ANSYS 2020 R1. Current license files (for ANSYS 2019 R3) will continue to work with the license manager without the need to update them.

Licensing options for ANSYS Discovery solutions will not be available until you upgrade the license manager and license files to ANSYS 2020 R1.
