ANSYS, Inc. has developed product lines that allow you to make the most of your investment and choose which product works best in your environment. ANSYS® is a finite element analysis (FEA) code widely used in the computer-aided engineering (CAE) field. ANSYS software allows engineers to construct computer models of structures, machine components or systems; apply operating loads and other design criteria; and study physical responses, such as stress levels, temperature distributions, pressure, etc. It permits an evaluation of a design without having to build and destroy multiple prototypes in testing. The ANSYS program has a variety of design analysis applications, ranging from such everyday items as dishwashers, cookware, automobiles, running shoes and beverage cans to such highly sophisticated systems as aircraft, nuclear reactor containment buildings, bridges, farm machinery, X-ray equipment and orbiting satellites.

ANSYS/LS-Dyna is a tightly integrated program that combines industry-leading finite element technology with explicit nonlinear dynamic solution capabilities. The program simulates drop-test, metal forming, crash analysis, impact involving large deformation, nonlinear material behavior, and multibody contact typically characterized by transient impact behavior.

CFX computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software delivers value to engineers tasked with developing or improving products and processes involving fluid flow, heat transfer and/or chemical reaction.

Several tools exist that improve efficiency of engineers performing FEA and CFD simulations including ICEM/CFD, AI*Environment, ParaMesh and Interface for Nastran. Can also be used for non-ANSYS software such as FLUENT, StarCD, Nastran, and Abaqus.

Two support options are offered to ensure effective use of the software.
