Elevate Engineering Design – Ansys 2022 R1 is Here!

ANSYS, Inc announced on Tuesday, February 1st, the release of Ansys 2022 R1 which is aimed at enabling experts to go deeper with custom workflows for industry-specific applications while also extending broad ease-of-use features that would boost collaboration among cross-disciplinary engineering teams.

The challenges faced by organizations and their engineering teams are becoming more complex each day. Ansys® software empower its users to surmount complex engineering challenges through simulation and enable companies to save time and reduce costs while driving product innovation and sustainability.

Ansys 2022 R1 Release Highlights:

In Ansys 2022 R1, the Fluids product line continues to make major advancements to improve productivity, streamline workflows and accelerate simulation time. This release is enabling engineers to innovate to new levels in applications involving electrification, turbomachinery, aerospace and more, with transformational new features that include a brand-new Multi-GPU Ansys Fluent solver (beta) that accelerates computational fluid dynamics simulations while reducing power consumption and hardware costs.

Ansys 2022 R1 comes with new, industry-focused solutions including a dedicated aerospace workspace in Ansys Fluent that tailors the user interface to external aerodynamics simulations, enabling aircraft designers to evaluate aircraft efficiency and study dynamics from subsonic to very high-speed flows.

Ansys 2022 R1 brings exciting new advancements for fluid-structure interaction simulations, electro-thermal analyses, and other Ansys Multiphysics™ simulations performed using System Coupling™. These extensions add to the growing multiphysics coupling capabilities of Ansys software.

Multiphysics simulations can be performed using System Coupling.

The new NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) toolkit inside Ansys Mechanical™ enables engineers to correlate test and simulation data with increased confidence. Users can easily read in physical test data and compute the MAC (Modal Assurance Criteria) to compare simulation data and physical test data. Ansys 2022 R1 comes with more advanced integrations across the Structures product portfolio, improved simulation and workflow run times, expanded materials databases and more.

Ansys 2022 R1 expands Discovery’s astonishing Live physics in thermal management through the addition of coupled fluid-solid simulation. This fast, fault-tolerant approach means that the simulation of heat exchangers, liquid cooling devices, and exhaust systems is now dramatically easier to perform and up to 50x faster allowing testing of more design variations for expanded insight and discovery. 

Ansys 2022 R1 further expands Discovery’s astonishing Live physics capabilities through a number of enhancements such as coupled fluid-solid simulation.

Other enhancements in Ansys Discovery™ include, geometry preprocessing for beams and shells, flex cable wrapping, and small units that make Discovery a compelling tool for working with a wide range of geometries and use cases while the workflow innovations enable expanded history tracking, improved hinge and spherical joints, as well as new post-processing capabilities, such as local slice monitors and interactive probes.

2022 R1 also brings in additional physics that enables compressible flow for both Live and High-fidelity physics, temperature-dependent material properties, and 1D springs expanding the scope and depth of Discovery’s simulation capabilities.

2022 R1 continues to bring best-in-class technologies to address PCB, 3D IC package, EMI/EMC, thermal, cabling, and electromechanical design challenges with significant advancements in 5G, autonomous and electrification simulation.

Phi Plus meshing technology brings extraordinary speed and robustness to complex system simulation including 3D IC packaging challenges.

The latest release also provides additional insights into PCB thermal performance with high-fidelity PCB models from Ansys Sherlock™ that can now be exported to Ansys AEDT Icepak® for thermal analysis simulations.

The optical technologies offered by Ansys span from Ansys Lumerical at the microscale, to Ansys Zemax at the macroscale, all the way to human and sensor perception for systems with Ansys Speos®.

Ansys Lumerical, a complete photonics simulation software solution, enables the design of photonics components, circuits, and systems.

The Ansys 2022 R1 release delivers increased functionality supporting Ansys' unique and comprehensive solution for the design of optical and photonic devices in datacom, consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and more.

Ansys engineering simulation enables companies to go beyond todays’ engineering demands and prepare for what’s ahead. To learn more about Ansys 2022 R1, please visit: www.ansys.com/products/release-highlights.
