AI*Environment is a powerful pre- and post-processing tool with links to the industry’s most robust solvers, combining ICEM CFD technology with ANSYS' simulation expertise to create a direct path from CAD to complete CAE pre- and post-processing. It creates and edits geometry, generates meshes, edits meshes and then applies boundary conditions in preparation for simulation. With an easy-to-use interface, robust CAD data integration, and battle tested meshing technology, AI*Environment is a true productivity tool for FEA model preparation. AI*Environment's easy to use interface was designed from the ground up to appeal to structural analysts and help reduce the time to create mesh models. With an extensive toolkit including: Direct CAD connections, geometry repair, geometry simplifications (including mid-plane extraction), multiple meshing techniques, mesh editing, mesh assembling and general preprocessing, AI*Environment provides the user a much needed tool for process compression.
