ANSYS 2023 R2 POWERS INDUSTRY INNOVATION WITH TRANSFORMATIVE SIMULATION TECHNOLOGIES
The new release expands digital engineering solutions with leading solvers and large-scale computing in connected workflows.
In Ansys 2023 R2, a full EV power electronics electrothermal workflow provides solutions from power IC, to package, to board with Ansys SIwave-CPA and Ansys Q3D Extractor (pictured).
The latest release from Ansys, 2023 R2 enables distributed engineering teams with new technologies and improved performance to drive industry innovation forward. It combines an exceptional range of enhanced numerics capabilities, performance improvements, and cross-disciplinary engineering solutions to equip organizations with advanced physics solvers, scalable GPU-based computing, and seamless workflows.
Industries Innovate and Collaborate with Digital Engineering
Advanced electronics are critical to next-gen product designs like electric vehicles (EVs), vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, and life-saving medical devices. These products depend on new semiconductor and integrated circuit (IC) technologies and advanced electronic capabilities. Innovations like high-density 3D-ICs enable product development teams to pack more features in a smaller space, but those compact form factors complicate thermal, electromagnetic (EM), and power challenges. All major semiconductor foundries have certified Ansys solutions for their most advanced technology nodes, and Ansys electrothermal solutions are essential to reliable 3D-IC design. The latest updates to Ansys® RedHawk-SC™, a multiphysics sign-off solution for semiconductors, significantly accelerate thermal analysis workflows. A complete EM simulation and modelling chain for IC design integrates the Ansys High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), Ansys® Q3D Extractor® parasitic extraction analysis, and the Ansys® RaptorX™ EM solver. Additionally, Ansys EMC Plus (formerly Ansys EMA3D Cable) now offers a full electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) workflow. New, integrated features in 2023 R2 enable engineers to efficiently meet high-tech challenges amid increasingly complex product requirements.
Specific industry sectors like healthcare, automotive, and aerospace also benefit from Ansys digital engineering workflows in 2023 R2. A full EV power electronics electrothermal workflow provides solutions from power IC, to package, to board with Ansys SIwave-CPA for signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI analysis, and the Ansys Q3D Extractor parasitic extraction tool. EV designers can also use simulation to visualize sound sonograms and model brand-defining acoustics with an integrated Ansys® Motion™ and Ansys Sound workflow.
Engineers in aerospace and defence, as well as automotive industries, will benefit from the new digital safety collaboration platform in Ansys medini analyze 2023 R2, which serves as a central safety project hub across an organization. A new Ansys Digital Safety Manager web app replaces the existing desktop client, enabling centralized planning, monitoring, and validation of medini safety and cybersecurity projects.
Speed Simulation with Large-scale Computing
Ansys 2023 R2 enables users to run large jobs and help overcome hardware capacity limitations with high-performance computing (HPC), both on-premises and in the cloud. Enhanced solver algorithms capitalize on GPUs to speed simulation. In Ansys 2023 R2, the Fluids product line enables additional industrial simulations to run natively on GPUs, substantially reducing solve time and total power consumption. For example, 2023 R2 extends multi-GPU support to sliding mesh, compressible flows, and eddy dissipation model combustion simulations. That means analysis of internal combustion engines, centrifugal pumps and fans, turbochargers and compressors, stirred tanks and reactors, and hydraulic machinery can now be supercharged with the Ansys® Fluent® multi-GPU solver.
The Ansys® Discovery™ simulation-driven 3D design tool is even more predictively accurate with live structural physics while reducing GPU memory requirements for thin structures by up to 10X. Subdivision geometry modelling in Discovery provides a new way to create and edit complex parts, enabling users to see the results of “what-if” changes almost instantly for many popular computer-aided design (CAD) models, including topology optimization results. Discovery has grown from providing four features in 2019 to 50 in 2023 R2, including turbulence models, electromagnetics, and manufacturing constraints.
Ansys® Speos® optical system design software also takes advantage of GPU acceleration. Optical simulations that use ray tracing are now fully supported. Speos also supports 3D irradiance with GPU acceleration, enabling designers to better analyze light contributions. At the photon level, Ansys Lumerical simulation tools have a new Express Mode in the finite difference time domain (FDTD) solver that enables users to run simulations with NVIDIA GPUs.
By integrating Ansys advanced simulation numerics and supercharging simulation with HPC via GPUs and cloud computing, the latest release enables engineers and researchers in every industry to take advantage of the transformative power of digital engineering.
