Installation, Licensing and

Documentation

Supported Systems

WinXP and all Windows 32-bit systems are no longer supported (this includes licensing).

Refer to ANSYS Documentation for supported systems: Installation and Licensing Documentation > Windows Installation Guide

Installation

ANSYS Composite PrepPost is now included in the product installation and can be selected on the product selection menu for installation.

SpaceClaim is now included in the main product installation. Products are grouped into “Primary Packages” and “ISO Images” (DVD

contents) on the Customer Portal.

Select download type

Licensing

An ANSYS Meshing license now includes ICEM CFD and TGRID. ANSOFT licensing is now included in the common ANSYS Licensing. The ANSYS License Management Center has replaced the

ANSLIC_ADMIN utility for many licensing functions.

ANSYS Documentation

Documentation by default is associated with the installed product. All product documentation can be installed via the installation launcher. New options allow you to install the product documentation to a user

specified location.

Geometry Updates

CAD Connections

Check the System Prerequisites > CAD Support section of the Windows installation guide for supported CAD releases.

Note: Care should be taken not to stare directly at the Rhinoceros configuration tool as it may be perceived as a challenge.

SpaceClaim

Now an ANSYS product Future geometry platform for WB Direct modeling Add on modules Not yet parametric

SpaceClaim

Selected new modeling features — Imprint tool – For leveraging MT meshing and mesh connections — Short edge & overlap - for finding and removing troublesome areas — Mid-surface update – recalculate after geometry changes — Dedicated Wrap tool – for EMAG modeling support — Enhanced WB integration

• CAD Reader direct import • ANF & other export formats • Including direct MAPDL connection

SpaceClaim

Geometry Wrapping

SpaceClaim - Faceted Data Editing

Required Faceted Data Toolkit Cleanup functions

— Self-intersections — Holes — Spikes

Facet manipulation with SC tools — Pull, Move, Fill, Replace, Scale (non-isometric) — Facet editing tools — Shell — Thicken — Smooth / Regularize — Merge/Split/Intersect

Analysis tools — Thickness and overhangs — ‘Mass Property’ Measurements — STL-STL deviation

Concept Modeling Enhancements

Tangent/Natural extensions • Curves & surfaces

Blend improvements • Blend to point

Round re-ordering JT/large assembly handling Reverse engineering tools Custom shortcuts

DesignModeler

Highlights — DesignModeler’s future status. — Small part search and removal. — Alphabetical body sort. — Feature Upgrade: New releases often perform operations more

successfully/completely. Older models can be updated using the Tools > Options menu.

— Variable blends (multiple radii are now parameteric). — Weld Surface tool.

DesignModeler

Small part search and removal using Tools > Repair Bodies

DesignModeler

Body/Part Sorting and renaming — Select multiple bodies and rename in a single operation:

DesignModeler

Body/Part Sorting and renaming — RMB click on the Parts, Bodies list to sort

DesignModeler

Upgrade legacy DesignModeler models to the current version. This may improve certain operations due to the development of modeling

and repair tools. This may also cause operations to fail. Keep a backup copy of the

geometry when using this option.

Variable Blend Feature

Additional control over shapes of blends: — Parameterize start and end radii of blend edges. — Benefit: Variable blend radius control now available in Design Studies,

optimization etc..

Details view in R16.0 Details view in R15.0

DesignModeler

Weld body generator for shells. — Creates a separate body as a weld region (has it’s own thickness assigned).

Meshing

Geometry and Meshing Share Topology versus Mesh Based Connections

— Share Topology (Formed Parts in DesignModeler) modifies the geometry with imprints when the geometry is attached in Mechanical such that the bodies share a common face.

• Can results in additional edge segments that need to be cleaned with Virtual Topology.

• May affect the topological consistency of bodies making them not sweepable. • Cannot use parallel meshing.

— Mesh Based Connections do not require shared topology at part boundaries. • May require face imprinting (with the Extrude feature) to align corresponding faces

on bodies. • May require a Matched Mesh control to align nodes at the adjoining faces. • Separate bodies allows for parallel meshing! • Works with both shell and solid bodies.

Connecting Bodies

Option 1 – Align at the geometry level (DM or SCDM): — Create a “Weld Body” or use an extension to align the geometry. — Shared Topology can be used to enforce common nodes (non distributed

meshing) — A bonded contact region can be defined in Mechanical (allows distributed

meshing)

Connecting Bodies

Option 2 – Mesh Based Connections — Leave the gap in place and use a “Mesh Based Connection” in Mechanical to

morph the mesh and connect with shared nodes. — Limited to shell bodies — Allows for distributed meshing.

Connecting Bodies

Option 3 – Node Merging — Imprint faces and mesh bodies separately (allow distributed meshing). — Use the new “Node Merge” feature:

• Works on shells to shell and solid to solid connections. • May require a Match Mesh setting.

Meshed Based Connections

Chair lift example: — Shared Topology is NOT used in the shell model of lift chair. — Parallel meshing and meshed based connections will be used.

The mesh is generated on a body by body basis (no shared topology is enforced).

With the Mesh Edit tool (new at v16) you can define scoped body groups with automatic and manual mesh connection generation.

The connections alter the existing mesh to force nodal connectivity.

Mechanical

Mechanical Assembly

Model assembly tools facilitate a component to system design process. Individual component models can be imported into a common project.

— Import of Mechanical database (*.mechdat) — Import of MAPDL models (*.cdb) via the External Model Utility.

Mechanical Assembly

Assembly is accomplished by adding a new analysis system to the project and dragging and dropping the component systems onto it.

Import properties are displayed in the Properties window of the assembly system.

Mechanical Assembly

Object renaming of the component systems can be defined by the user. Number of copies and rigid transformations of the components are defined

here as needed.

Mechanical Assembly

Component transformations are also possible inside Mechanical using the Model > Worksheet tool.

Mechanical Assembly

An assembly of Mechanical models retains the original geometry from the components.

Items are sorted into folders based on the user specification (system name by default).

Mechanical Assembly

Items that are included in the assembly process are: — Geometry (both flexible and rigid bodies, no mass bodies) — Coordinate systems — Connections (Contact regions only) — Mesh (mesh controls and mesh connections stay at the component level) — Named Selections

Mechanical Assembly

Additional contact (manual or automatic) can be generated between component models.

Mechanical Assembly

Adding a MAPDL legacy model (.cdb mesh based) or other via the External Model Utility uses FE Modeler to construct geometry from the finite element facets.

The “skin detection” is controlled in the Properties window. Note that Nodal Components can be included in the transfer.

Mechanical Assembly

Exploded views are available for the visible geometry centered at a specified coordinate system.

Mechanical Assembly

Tree filtering is possible by visibility, type, model, etc..

Mechanical Assembly

Grouping common entities can be done by selecting multiple entities and a RMB click

Mechanical Assembly

Multiple bodies can be renamed in a single operation:

Mechanical Assembly

Group renaming is accomplished by selecting like entities and specifying a common name.

Mechanical Assembly

Use imported MAPDL Named Selections to create contact regions.

Mechanical Assembly

Note: Bolt Pretension cannot be defined on surface skins of an imported MAPDL model (body and CSYS definition only).

The Object Generator is useful for coping common items like Bolt Pretension.

These items can be grouped for convenience.

Parametric Assemblies

All standard input parameters (geometry, mesh, material, loading) can be defined at the component levels.

Output quantities can be extracted from assembly model. Design Studies and Optimization can be accomplished with the Parameter

Set and DesignXplorer.

Mechanical Speed Enhancements

Improved Geometry Attachment Time Contact Detection Performance Model Assembly Performance Improvements Source Result File Access for Linked Analyses.

— For a Thermal-Stress, Submodeling, or One-way Acoustic Coupling analysis, the application no longer copies the source result files to the downstream system. Instead, the downstream system now directly accesses the source result file. This reduces disk space usage when running linked analyses.

DesignXplorer Updates

Parameter Filtering (requires a correlation study) When you save a design point you can set a desired point to current and

post process in the project rather than opening it separately. ACT and DX

— DX now supports ACT extensions for external sampling methods. — There is a MATLAB optimization extension to expose MATLAB optimization

algorithms.
