Standalone Reverse Engineering Software Compatible with Nearly Any CAD Software
Ansys Discovery allows you to answer crucial design problems earlier in the design process by combining interactive modeling and numerous simulation capabilities into a single package. Because you can explore many design concepts in real time without waiting for simulation results, this upfront approach to simulation saves both time and effort on prototyping.
Unlock Next-Level Productivity
What's New?
Increased Accuracy for Thin Structures
Improved accuracy for Live structural physics increases confidence in fast simulation results while reducing GPU memory requirements by up to 10x.
Subdivisional Modeling
This highly innovative new feature makes editing any CAD possible for the first time, especially for smooth organic components and parts. Reduce complex “what if” geometry changes from hours or days to seconds.
Redesigned Workflow
Simulations are only as valuable as the insights drawn from them, which is why Discovery continues redefining what a simulation user experience should be.
Applications
Vehicle Chassis
The vehicle chassis is the foundation for the autonomous, electric and connected future of automotive transportation and mobility. The only way to deliver the next generation of safe, lightweight, low-cost, durable, reliable and higher-performance vehicles comes through optimizing chassis design with simulation.
Vehicle Interior
As vehicles become more connected and autonomous, the occupant experience inside the vehicle becomes an ever more critical competitive battleground. From comfort to noise to the human machine interface, simulation plays a crucial role in engineering the safe and interactive passenger experience of the future.
Vehicle Power Train
While the transition to electric powertrains accelerates, optimizing more traditional internal combustion engine-powered vehicle powertrains is critical to the ongoing improvements in fuel efficiency and required environmental performance. Perfecting powertrain design through simulation offers the only way to deliver performance, fuel efficiency and environmental goals in one package.
Orthopedic
As life expectancy rises, companies are racing to extend the life of implants, while developing innovative replacement therapies for aging hips, knees, shoulders, spines and dental implants, to mention a few. Ansys is a leader in the field of in silico medicine, which combines multiphysics simulation, material properties, patient-specific human physiology, surgical procedures and manufacturing processes.
