Ansys 2025 R1 3D Design Updates
The 2025 R1 release of Ansys Discovery enhances the design exploration and simulation workflow, improving model preparation, simulation confidence, and design space exploration. It introduces efficient swept meshing detection, improved workflows for beams and shells, and enhanced thermal management simulations, particularly for electronics cooling and heat exchangers. Additionally, users can now solve thousands of simulations in minutes by leveraging cloud capabilities for design limits, tradeoffs, sensitivity studies, and optimization.
Acute Thermal Management Simulation
Ansys Discovery enhances its thermal management simulations, particularly for electronics cooling and heat exchangers, by streamlining and accelerating the entire workflow for more accurate designs. New features include GPU-based meshing that reduces memory requirements and improves simulation accuracy, DC electric conduction capabilities for evaluating voltage drop and Joule heating, and expanded modeling of 3D fans for electronic component cooling. Additionally, the new faceted geometry conjugate heat transfer (CHT) capabilities allow for simulating complex heat exchanger designs and solving models faster with improved mesh generation.
Efficient Model Preparation for Simulation
Ansys Discovery continues to enhance its modeling capabilities to streamline geometry preparation for simulation. New features include a sweep meshing feasibility tool to ensure accurate mesh preparation, beam and shell enhancements for creating and saving custom beam cross-sections, and an optimized faceting feature for generating higher-quality CFD meshes. Additionally, support for the Ansys stride file format improves handling of large models, allowing users to efficiently edit and manage complex geometries.
Accelerated Parametric Workflows
The latest Ansys Discovery release accelerates design exploration with new features that allow users to investigate more designs quickly and efficiently. Key updates include the "Burst to Cloud" feature, which enables solving thousands of simulations simultaneously for design space exploration, sensitivity studies, and response curve generation. Additional enhancements include script parameters for automating complex workflows, PyAnsys Geometry for seamless integration with Python, and signed values technology for improved clarity and confidence in geometry models.
