Engineers need to accurately predict how complex products behave in real-world environments with real world physics. ANSYS is continuously improving the ease of use and efficiency of simulating real world interactions between fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, heat transfer, and electromagnetics within a single, unified engineering simulation environment using systems coupling.

SpecialMaterialProcessing
The polymer, glass, metals and cement processing industries face the special challenge of highly complex material behaviour when performing simulations to minimize physical prototyping in the manufacture of extrusion dies or improve the quality of thermoformed or blown products. Importantly, for say the packaging industry, is the ability to predict more accurately the structural performance of the package in real-use scenarios. ANSYS Polyflow provides a host of special material models and enhanced capabilities to meet these needs.
