3 Introduction Business pressures continue to drive engineering organizations to accomplish more with less Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 3

4 ANSYS Workbench Software EASIER to USE and more INDUSTRY SPECIFIC Custom workflow, vertical applications Implement customer best practices into ANSYS unified GUI in order to fit and enhance the customer s process "When ANSYS developed ACT, it was a giant step for industries. This amazing tool can be an instrument of knowledge diffusion of internal know-how. For WEG, it resulted in an instantaneous increase of knowledge." Cassiano A. Cezario R&D Center Simulation Leader WEG Electric Motors Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 4

5 ANSYS Workbench Journaling and Scripting Basic ingredient to many customizations, from simple to complex Provide the Parameters for the Design Point study Example: Workbench interactions with MS Excel Both WB simulation the DPs are is solved, started Project in is DP1 saved. simulation the background. is done. DP1 simulation is DP2 Pressure Updating Updating drop values from those analysis are updated in Excel Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 5

6 Wizards and Templates Streamlined UI to guide user through complete simulation process Adopt the best practices Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 6

7 FlowModeler (Wizard in Meshing) Custom import panel Custom process inputs Custom setup inputs Custom report Monday, October 06, 2014 Mesh settings Physics settings Boundary conditions Cell Zone conditions Solver conditions Update project 2014 Automotive Simulation World Congress 7

8 Exposing CMS in ANSYS Meshing (ACT) Solving larger FE models still remains a challenge Approach of using Superelements will provide efficient solution for large assemblies without losing accuracy. Extension helps user to define/organize the Superelements, export/reuse in different analyses Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 8

9 Mesh Independent Spot Welds Typically, a car body contains about 5000 spot welds joining sheets of different thicknesses. Perhaps the most common application of spot welding is in the automobile manufacturing industry, where it is used almost universally to weld the sheet metal to form a car. The extension exposes the feature to Mechanical for creating spot welds using locations Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 9

10 Mesh Independent Spot Welds Individual spotwelds or Multi spotwelds Connection can be created by projection on the geometry using point coordinate files Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 10

12 Create Bolt Imprints in DM (ACT) Typically, a car body contains about 100 bolts joining sheets of with other components Finding the stress in the these joins is most critical part of the mechanical simulations Creating imprints on the surfaces is a repetitive task for designers/cae experts Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 12

13 Create Bolt Imprints in DM (ACT) Select edges and set the bolt imprint percentages Operations are automated to create the imprints using custom and standard features of DesignModeler Repeat the operations to create imprints of bolts on sheet bodies (surface bodies) Initial Geometry Final Geometry Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 13

14 HVAC Extension Complete setup in DM using ACT objects Smart and Rapid object creation Room, Person, Blocks, Fans, Openings and Vents Support for CAD Import and definition of bodies Visual representation in DM similar to Mechanical Full automation in DM. (No need to visit Meshing, Fluent and Post) ACT Objects in DM Tree Extension Manager Rapid Model Creation (Model Created Under 5 minutes ) ACT Tool Bar in DM Automated Report and Images Room Block Fan Person Mesh Post & Solution Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 14

15 Next Steps Resources available for Customization Customer portal Training Technical Support Consulting Services Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 15

16 Summary We will continue to be challenged to accomplish more with less Engineering simulation is a key enabler The ANSYS Workbench environment can be customized in a variety of ways to: Automate repetitive tasks Create simplified UI s Expose advanced features Capture and deploy best practices Let s discuss how ANSYS can help you take advantage of customization Monday, October 06, Automotive Simulation World Congress 16
