Ansys Launches Discovery Live, a Real-Time Digital Exploration Solution
Published2018.02.19 11:23Implementing a real-time simulation environment based on native parallel GPU processing
ANSYS announced the general availability of Discovery Live, a software solution designed to improve the speed and efficiency of engineers' design workflows. ANSYS Discovery Live empowers engineers to experiment with more variables early in the digital exploration phase of the design process through interactivity and immediate feedback. This allows engineers to proactively identify and improve potential issues throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Discovery Live, capable of real-time simulation, seamlessly integrates direct geometry modeling with an intuitive design environment, enabling interactive exploration and rapid product innovation. This allows engineers to save weeks or even months of time setting up, running, and analyzing prototypes.
Over the past five months, ANSYS has unveiled key features of Discovery Live through a preview version. This has enabled numerous professionals and designers to design a wide range of products using Discovery Live, demonstrating the role and necessity of simulation in the early concept development stages. Following the preview version, the newly released official version of Discovery Live further enhances fluid, structural, and thermal analysis capabilities and expands the types of user interfaces and displays that users can easily use.

In structural analysis, Discovery Live instantly identifies and improves the strength and stiffness of components and small assemblies, and optimizes weight through immediate visualization of stress distributions and rapid geometry modifications. It also enables easy and rapid exploration of multiple scenarios. In thermal analysis, it can identify heat dissipation due to convection or conduction between components and assemblies of various sizes. It also quickly calculates the natural frequencies of components and assemblies, allowing you to immediately determine whether designed modes exceed the minimum allowable frequency range.
Discovery Live's fluids section can be broadly divided into internal and external fluid flow analyses. External fluid flow, which visualizes the fluid's path around a structure, explores recirculation zones and experiments with changing flow direction. It also allows for preliminary analysis of pressure drop, drag, and lift trends. Internal fluid flow observes pressure drop and velocity within pipes, along with other capacities, and gathers information on factors such as flow distribution and heat mixing.
ANSYS has integrated Discovery Live with ANSYS AIM and ANSYS SpaceClaim into a 3D design suite aimed at design engineers. From rapid initial concept exploration and 3D design to more detailed and comprehensive validation, Discovery Live supports engineers at every stage. Engineers can export design geometry data created through Discovery Live to ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS CFD, and ANSYS AIM software for further simulation to obtain accurate results.
Discovery Live leverages NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) and CUDA parallel computing to deliver faster results than conventional methods. It also supports instantaneous simulations, enabling immediate validation of 3D results through streamlined physics setup and solver technology based on native parallel GPU processing.
Through real-time digital exploration, Discovery Live digitally transforms the prototyping process, the most costly and labor-intensive part of the development process, dramatically reducing costs and time. Discovery Live also gives engineers the flexibility to experiment and creatively solve design challenges without the risk of product launch delays or redesigns.
“Discovery Live allows us to run multiple design scenarios in real time and accelerate the development process,” said Matt Carlson, Vice President of Business Development at Wibotic. “It gives us confidence in our designs and saves us time and money, so we can focus on perfecting the usability and aesthetic of our products.”
“We will help engineers across many industries gain design insights and develop innovative products quickly and easily through our products,” said Ansys Korea CEO Yongwon Cho.

Ansys Acquires Additive Manufacturing Simulation Technology Developer
ANSYS has announced that it has acquired 3DSIM, an additive manufacturing (AM) simulation technology development company, enabling it to provide customers with the world's only complete additive manufacturing simulation workflow. 3DSIM is a company that develops high-performance simulation software for metal additive manufacturing. 3DSIM supports manufacturers, designers, and engineers in achieving optimal objectives through simulation without having to go through prototype testing. Its primary customers include aerospace and automotive OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturing), metal 3D printer manufacturers, and universities and major research institutes. Additive manufacturing, a technology attracting attention in the 3D printing field, has primarily been used in prototype fabrication, but recently it is being directly applied to mass production of products. Various materials are being produced through additive manufacturing technology, and metal materials in particular are challenging to handle. In metal additive manufacturing processes, the lasers used can optimize metal density but can simultaneously melt the metal and cause errors. Furthermore, rapid heating and cooling during the process can induce stresses, creating a high likelihood of product deformation.
