ANSYS Inc. announces ANSYS 5.3 multiphysics design analysis software; faster diverse solvers and crash-test simulation impact bottom line issues.HOUSTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 1996--ANSYS Inc., a leading international supplier of design analysis and optimization software Free and Open Source software
This new release of the company's multiphysics software product family offers the broadest range of solvers ever, including the Explicit Dynamics Solver, Fast Linear Solver, Block Lanczos Solver, Power Dynamics Solver, and the Electromagnetics Iterative Solver. Using ANSYS 5.3, engineers can address many practical real-world problems on the desktop with increased efficiency and higher computing performance. Increased solving speed and range help bolster engineering productivity and reduce product time-to-market -- bottom line issues that impact many industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics packaging, consumer goods consumer goods Any tangible commodity purchased by households to satisfy their wants and needs. Consumer goods may be durable or nondurable. Durable goods (e.g., autos, furniture, and appliances) have a significant life span, often defined as three years or more, and , and biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. . The cumulative effect of these new solvers is that customers can solve a wider range of problems faster. "We believe that the enhanced capabilities of ANSYS 5.3 will help companies reduce design cycle times because the technology facilitates the development of higher-quality products faster. The increased speed and performance linked with desktop solving efficiency helps companies focus on process versus function, as well as emphasize concurrency Operations that are performed simultaneously within the computer. For example, dual-core CPUs provide complete overlapping of two independent processes. See dual core, hyperthreading, multiprocessing, multitasking, multithreading, SMP and MPP. concurrency - multitasking over serial tasks," says Frank Marx, ANSYS product manager. As a result of a joint effort between Livermore Software Technology Corp. and ANSYS Inc., ANSYS 5.3 offers ANSYS/LS-DYNA, a new Explicit Dynamics Solver that incorporates the LS-DYNA 3D solver. ANSYS/LS-DYNA allows users to perform crash and product drop-test simulations. Results allow manufacturers to analyze and refine designs on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1. As shown on a movie, television, or display screen. 2. Within public view; in public. before time-consuming and costly prototypes are required for physical testing. In addition, ANSYS/LS-DYNA allows users to simulate industrial processes involving metal forming Metal forming Manufacturing processes by which parts or components are fabricated from metal stock. In the specific technical sense, metal forming involves changing the shape of a piece of metal. , forging, and stamping. The Fast Linear Solver solves structural problems much faster than prior product offerings. The Block Lanczos and Power Dynamics are advanced, fast dynamic solvers. The Electromagnetics Iterative Solver can speed up the development of many types of products in a variety of applications, such as acoustics, piezoelectrics, computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics The numerical approximation to the solution of mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer. Computational fluid dynamics is one of the tools (in addition to experimental and theoretical methods) available to solve , and electromagnetics. Enhancements to ANSYS/FLOTRAN, the computational fluid dynamics component of ANSYS, include three industry standard fluid flow models, including the Power Law, Carreau, and Bingham. Suggested pricing for ANSYS 5.3 software products starts at US $8,000. The software is available on the leading UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , Windows NT, and Windows 95 hardware platforms. Planned availability of the product is early summer 1996. All ANSYS products are 100 percent file-compatible across engineering networks -- from Windows-based PCs to high-end supercomputing. All ANSYS files are fully compatible with other ANSYS products. ANSYS Inc. is a leading international supplier of analysis and engineering software optimizing the design of new products.
