We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Discovery Live: Application Examples: Structures

    • FAQFAQ
      Participant

      Structural FEA simulation is often a bottleneck in early or delayed design stages.  Due to multiple steps with long lead times, design exploration, what-if scenarios and multiple concepts become very slow and costly.  ANSYS Discovery Live is the union of fast and easy 3D creation and editing and unmatched real-time solver technology.  Structural simulation can now be used during any point of the design process to compare ideas, improve performance or reduce weight and cost.  

      Download and open these pre-solved examples to gain an understanding of what ANSYS can help you Discover Live.


       

      1) Structural Deformation in a Plastic Housing

      Application example of the deformation of a plastic housing with cut-outs is studied.  The change in deformation under different load locations and cut-out locations/shapes can be explored. This project requires release 19.2 or newer.

      4) Structural Simulation of a Snap-Fit Buckle

      Application example of a snap-fit buckle in Discovery Live utilizing face displacement as an alternative to deformation by non-linear contact. This project requires release 19.2 or newer.

      5) Torsional performance of a gear housing

      Application example of the structural performance of the gear housing is investigated. A simple torsional load is applied to one end of the structure and the opposing end is fixed at the bolting locations.  A parameter study is also included to look at the effects of the overall length of the structure. This project requires release 19.2 or newer.

      6) Structural Loading of Hip Implant

      Application example of a simple loading being applied to a replacement hip. The high stress locations and overall part deformation can be visualized and measured. This project requires release 19.2 or newer.
