Geometry Interfaces

With direct interfaces to all major computer-aided design (CAD) systems, support of additional readers and translators, and an integrated geometry modeler exclusively focused on analysis, ANSYS offers the most comprehensive geometry handling solutions for engineering simulation in an integrated environment.

ANSYS geometry handling solutions include best-in-class CAD integration technology in an industry-leading, CAD-neutral CAE integration environment. This provides direct, associative, bidirectional interfaces with all major CAD systems.

The state-of-the-art ANSYS CAD integration solutions include options for smart and selective updates of CAD parts. ANSYS CAD interfaces also include a Named Selection Manager. The Named Selection Manager can be used to create custom attributes within CAD systems and use them directly in ANSYS applications for modeling, meshing and analysis.

With geometry integration solutions from ANSYS, you can use your existing, native CAD geometry directly, without translation to IGES or other intermediate geometry formats. ANSYS has offered native, bidirectional integration with the most popular CAD systems for more than 10 years. ANSYS also provides integration directly into the CAD menu bar, making it simple to launch world-class ANSYS simulation technologies directly from your CAD system.
