ANSYS R18 Update - AIM
Welcome to the ANSYS R18 update for AIM. Whether it's morning or afternoon where you are, thank you for joining us today. Here's what we'll cover:
- Overview of AIM
- Technical details with Steve
- Demonstration of key elements by Tejas
Introduction to AIM
Let's start by discussing what AIM is all about, especially for those who might not be deeply familiar with it. AIM is designed for design engineers, providing a comprehensive 3D engineering simulation environment with a broad range of ANSYS physics in one user-friendly interface.
Value Propositions of AIM
- Ease of Use: Guided workflows make setting up studies straightforward, with defaults and suggestions to assist users.
- Proven Solutions: AIM uses the same solver technology as ANSYS's flagship products, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
- Broad Capabilities: AIM covers a wide range of applications, including fluid simulations, heat transfer, fluid-structure interaction, and more.
- Collaboration: AIM can be used as a preprocessor, allowing geometry and mesh setups to be passed to other ANSYS tools for higher fidelity studies.
Release Highlights
Every release of AIM adds crucial features. For example, release 16.0 introduced essential physics capabilities, and by 18.0, major physics were included. Now, we're adding niche features that benefit many users.
New Features in AIM 18.0
Steve will now walk us through some of the highlights of AIM 18.0:
- Fluids Enhancements: Solution-dependent expressions allow for flexible boundary conditions, and model information can be transferred to Fluent for advanced simulations.
- Structural Enhancements: New capabilities for expressing boundary conditions using expressions and cylindrical reference frames for displacement and support conditions.
- Electromagnetics Enhancements: New magnetic frequency response capabilities and automatic creation of surrounding regions for easier setup.
General Enhancements
- Post-Processing: Display multiple results in the same display for more impactful graphics.
- User Interface: Modify the background color and choose from light, white, or dark themes.
- Language Options: A new Chinese user interface is now available.
- Licensing Changes: AIM is now included in enterprise licenses, offering more flexibility for users.
Demonstration by Tejas
Tejas will now demonstrate some of the new features and capabilities of AIM 18.0 through a couple of examples:
- Example 1: A pipe with a butterfly valve, showcasing fluid flow and structural analysis.
- Example 2: A solenoid valve, demonstrating electromagnetics and adaptive meshing.
Both examples highlight the power of AIM's single user interface, which allows for easy integration and interaction between different physics disciplines.
Conclusion
AIM provides powerful simulation tools to design engineers, allowing them to improve their products before final verification or prototyping. With AIM, simulation becomes accessible and efficient, enabling engineers to tackle complex design challenges with ease.
ANSYS R18 Update - AIM Good morning or good afternoon, depending on where you are. Thank you everyone for joining us today.
Here's the flow of what we will cover: I will give you a high-level overview of this release of AIM, Steve will talk about the technical details of this release, and we will finish up with a demonstration of some of the key elements that we put into the release.
AIM is a tool for design engineers, focusing on multiple types of physics in one user environment.
It offers an unmatched ease of use with guided workflows, the same proven solutions as the flagship products, and a broad range of capabilities including fluid-structure interaction, electrical applications, and structures. One major value proposition of AIM is its ease of use.
With guided workflows, users can quickly set up studies without needing to be experts in simulation. The software also offers a range of applications in one package, so users do not need to purchase separate individual packages for different physics.
Steve will now talk about some of the key elements and value propositions of this release of AIM. [Steve's talk] AIM is a great tool for use as a preprocessor, allowing designers to set up their geometry and mesh and pass that information to someone else for further analysis.
This allows for collaboration and ensures that the work of designers is not lost. In this release, we have added important, crucial things that designers need, including UX improvements, conjugate heat transfer, electronics capabilities, and more.
We have also added niche features that may not be as popular, but will still benefit many users. [End of Steve's talk] I will now turn things over to Steve, who will walk you through some of the features of AIM-18. 0. [Steve's demonstration] Thank you, Steve.
We are excited about this release of AIM and believe it offers a lot of value for design engineers. Thank you for joining us today.
