What is Ansys Software and why is it used in Engineering Analysis?
AS Mosley uses a range of software applications and tools to help create models that represent equipment from connectors to platform conductors and include all interfaces and boundary conditions. These models are used to simulate offshore applications to determine capacities, thermal loading, fatigue properties and ensure suitability for planned operations.
Ansys contains an extensive FE library applicable in solving a wide range of engineering problems.
What is Ansys software?
Ansys is a well-respected engineering simulation software that provides tools for modelling and analysing the behaviour of products in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, manufacturing and energy. It uses finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and other advanced methods to simulate physical phenomena like stress, heat transfer, fluid flow, and electromagnetic.
It is a powerful tool for producing:
- Structural Assessments
- Fatigue Assessments
- Thermal Assessments
Key Features
Some of the key features of Ansys used in the energy sector are as follows:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) – used for structural simulations.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics – used for analysing fluid flow, heat transfer, and aerodynamics.
- Electromagnetic Analysis – simulates electromagnetic fields for applications like antenna design and motor performance.
- Multiphysics Simulation – allows coupling of different physics simulations.
- Explicit Dynamics – used for impact simulations.
- Optimisation & AI Integration – Enhances design efficiency.
Using Ansys to understand the effects of environmental and operational loading quantifies potential risks and enables design optimisation with maximum operability. This helps to save time and greatly reduce costs.
