      Before deciding to try out the Discovery Live for yourself, you may want to see it in action first.  Instead of watching the Discovery Live Tutorials which will teach you how to use Discovery Live, watch these videos below to gain an understanding of what Ansys can help you Discover.


       

      Students at Torstad Middle School in Oslo, Norway are challenged to create a flying boat with the help of Ansys Discovery Live. After learning how to use Discovery Live within a couple hours, the students begin to make the impossible possible.


      The goal of the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition is to support the development of functional prototypes and encourage innovation by challenging student teams to design and build the best high-speed Pod. The HyperXite team from University of California, Irvine used Ansys Discovery to design and build a 1:2 scale Hyperloop pod.


      Ansys Discovery is a 3D design software product family that allows all engineers to build smarter products, reduce time to market and decrease product development costs.  Easy-to-use tools provide instantaneous and high-fidelity engineering simulation capabilities across all physics types, allowing users to rapidly iterate on more concepts in real-time and improve design performance in minutes.


      Endress+Hauser develops and manufactures instruments for level and pressure measurements. Making Simulation available to all engineers and developers has resulted in more creativity and innovation in up-front design. For Endress+Hauser Ansys Discovery Live is the perfect tool for ideation in concept phase due to its speed and ease of use and accuracy.


      When it comes to concept modeling and sorting through your design ideas, are you using the right tool for the job? Discovery Live is a simple tool promotes the rapid creation and editing of geometry, and provides instant feedback on performance in many areas of physics. Ultimately it makes upfront simulation more accessible to every designers, and helps shape and guide the design process.


      TIME bikes are produced using an exclusive process responsible for the precise construction of TIME frames giving the rider the amazing and legendary TIME ride and road feel. TIME uses Ansys Discovery Live to easily make structural upgrades and test viability in a dynamic simulation environment, thus saving time and money in product development. Moreover, marketers, designers, and engineers have the ability to make decisions together on iterative improvements earlier in the development process.


      Making better informed design decisions upfront can potentially reduce costly changes later on towards production. Using engineering simulation is a proven way to make this happen. However, simulation is often seen as costly, slow, and too complex for the average engineer to utilize. Ansys Discovery Live removes several barriers to simulation by coupling real-time simulation and geometry tools that are both easy to use. In this demonstration of Discovery Live, we’ll walk through a concept model of a motor mount bracket. You’ll see in Discovery Live the setup of different solutions, monitoring different loading conditions or modal response in the same design, along with charts to track changes with each design point.


      Getting started with external aero engineering simulations in Ansys Discovery Live is as simple as a few mouse clicks, as upfront analysis has never been this easy. Plus, the simulations are instantaneous as you change boundary conditions or quickly make 3-D modeling changes. In a matter of minutes, Discovery Live enables you to find out if your design changes are of benefit or not.


      With Discovery Live you can spend more time with questions and answers and less time with traditional simulation processing steps. It provides real-time data on temperature distribution as you make 3-D model changes, or change input characteristics like heat flow and material type. Most importantly, Discovery Live let’s you test your ideas in real-time so you can achieve your design goals in a fraction of the time than you otherwise could have done.


      Simulation in Ansys Discovery Live can be used to help engineers sort through concepts and quickly determine a design’s performance. It shortens design cycle times and leads to the optimization of better products. Watch this video to see how Discovery Live can be used to concept model a vehicle’s HVAC system and quickly gauge the feasibility of a design alternative.


      Ansys Discovery Live is an excellent tool for answering your “what if” questions. It does this by letting you modify a 3D model and instantly view the ramifications of your design changes. Watch this video to see how you can modify a heatpipe and obtain simulation results for several design iterations in a matter of minutes, with upfront performance data readily available. Get accurate simulation results without the wait with Discovery Live.


      Watch this video to see how you can modify the properties of a plastic enclosure for a circuit board and receive instant deformation feedback using Ansys Discovery Live. You can add supporting ribs to the enclosure in a variety of configurations to see how they affect its performance, all in a matter of minutes. Once you have chosen an optimal design, an analyst can import it into Ansys Mechanical for a more comprehensive simulation without having to recreate the geometry. Learn how you can save valuable development time and money using Ansys Discovery Live.


      Engineering simulation is a powerful tool for designers, but it’s easy do simulation without really understanding the physics behind it. With its instantaneous results, Ansys Discovery Live reveals the underlying physics of your design so you can develop a deeper knowledge of your products. Watch this video illustrating the use of Ansys Discovery Live to simulate the structural forces on a pillow block to see how a grasp of the physics involved can improve your designs.


      Watch this video to learn how you can use Ansys Discovery Live to perform preliminary, instantaneous simulations to obtain a viable structural design, followed by Ansys Discovery AIM for more rigorous mechanical simulations to refine and validate the design. See how a rocker arm can be quickly engineered to your specifications using this powerful combination of simulation solvers.
