      Discovery 2020 R2 update – Webinar recording

      Discovery Live and AIM update:

      Ansys 2020 R2 improves Ansys Discovery Live simulation speeds — up to 65% — and includes enhancements in topology optimization to support frozen regions, one-sided pull constraints and acceleration and displacement loads. Learn more about these advances, and important updates to Ansys Discovery AIM, including:

      • A new option for an exponential pressure-penetration relationship for frictionless and frictional contact, which improves solution convergence for large sliding and/or large initial penetration nonlinear contact problems
      • Mesh optimization to provide more realistic joint behavior without need to manually split surfaces
      • Physics-aware meshing enhancements to provide more flexibility for defining different mesh size functions for different parts of the model, which can be useful for conjugate heat transfer and shell/solid models

      SpaceClaim update:

      Check out the below webinar recording to learn more about Ansys SpaceClaim updates that support concept modeling and model prep for simulation, including:

      • block recording and bidirectional CAD interfaces to allow replay of modeling operations on modified CAD geometry;
      • constraint-based sketching that makes it easier to create complex sketches for 3D design; and
      • autoskinning of topology optimization results from Ansys Mechanical for automated geometry reconstruction.
