Ansys 2023 Release Highlights – Structures
Recording from LEAP’s recent series of Ansys 2023 R1 & R2 update seminars covering the latest updates in Ansys Structures & Explicit Dynamics. Thes videos are from our Melbourne event, presented by Dr. Luke Mosse, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP Australia.
Optomechanical Design of a Tophat Beam Shaper with Ansys Zemax OpticStudio
How can simulation help you to arrive at an optomechanical design that will generate the required output laser cutter beam while remaining robust under the expected thermal and structural deformations caused by the laser source?
Mastering Structural Analysis: Integrating External Loads into Ansys Mechanical
Modern engineers often work on the design of increasingly complex systems that will experience a multitude of simultaneous loading factors – such as forces, thermal effects, and pressure. Ansys Workbench offers a range of options to streamline the process of incorporating these external loads into Ansys Mechanical so that Ansys users can accurately predict stress, strain and fatigue life for such complex systems with greater precision.
Making Informed Material Selections in Ansys Mechanical
Material selection affects the behaviour, performance, and durability of a product. This blog explores material selection options and how to speed up this process in Ansys Mechanical using the comprehensive material database and tools to evaluate and compare the material behaviour.
Switchgear Pre-Compliance Simulations
How to use simulation to ensure switchgear functions to standards such as IEC 61439, incorporating effects such as: short circuit withstand strength, degree of protection of enclosures (arc fault), temperature rise, clearances and creepage distances, Dielectric properties of insulation, electromagnetic compatibility EMC.
Preventing Electronics Failure due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
This blog offers a detailed overview of the workflow to conduct virtual testing of Electrostatic Discharge using Ansys EMA3D – as early as possible in your design cycle once your PCB design is available – helping to reduce expensive recalls and warranty issues due to ESD failures in sensitive electronics.
Reliability Physics Analysis Tools for Implementing MIL-810G STANDARD
In the final part of our series on using Electronics Reliability simulation tools to meet important industry standards, read how to apply Reliability Physics Analysis (RPA) in Ansys Sherlock to meet the MIL-STD-810G standard relating to environmental and lab tests approved for use by the US Department of Defence.
Weld Creation in Ansys Mechanical 2022 R1
Welding is a commonly used method that plays a crucial role in the safety, structural integrity, and durability of many fabricated structures. Learn about the significant new features in Ansys Mechanical 2022 R1 which greatly aide the preparation of FEA models involving welded structures and will save you many days of model preparation time.
Part 1: Using Simulation of Electronics Reliability to address industry standards (SAE J3168, MIL-810G, GMW3172 and/or DO-160G)
It is increasingly important for product designers to consider electronics durability and PCB reliability across the product’s entire service life – accounting for all external influences that it will experience during production, shipping, and the environment during its operation. Here we look at how simulation is used to satisfy the requirements dictated by common industry standards.
