Updates

  • Sometimes your mesh doesn’t capture every detail, like missing fins in tight or intricate regions. With the latest updates in Ansys Discovery, you’ll know exactly where and why. Discovery now detects when the voxel size isn’t fine enough, highlights affected bodies and lets you apply local mesh controls instantly based on that feedback. That means faster cleanup, fewer failed runs, and more confidence in your simulations. To learn more about what’s new in Ansys Discovery, watch our free on-demand webinar: https://ansys.me/475NmZd #AnsysDiscovery #Meshing #EngineeringInnovation #SimulationDrivenDesign

  • Smarter meshing, faster cleanup, seamless handoff, that’s what’s new in Ansys Discovery 2025 R2. The latest release introduces shared topology for smooth meshing between connected bodies, eliminating manual contact setup. Mesh failure detection is now more intuitive too, pinpointing exact issue locations so you can fix problems faster and with greater confidence. When it’s time to take your analysis further, you can transfer geometry, mesh fidelity, and physics setup directly to Ansys Mechanical, keeping your workflow connected from concept to validation. One setup, one workflow, zero interruptions.

  • Simulating narrow channels or fine details? Precision just got easier. With the new Body of Influence feature in Ansys Discovery, you can refine mesh exactly where it matters, like heatsink fins, tight flow passages, or other critical areas, without impacting the rest of the model. And with Sharp Edge Capture, Discovery now preserves fine edge details around inlets, outlets, and small features for greater accuracy from the start. Smarter meshing, sharper results, right where you need them. #AnsysDiscovery #MeshRefinement #BodyOfInfluence #SharpEdgeCapture #CFD

  • With Burst to Compute in Ansys Discovery, you can run GPU-accelerated parametric sweeps in the cloud to optimize heat sink geometry inside an electronics enclosure. Variables like fin height, fin width, and sink depth are evaluated to maximize heat dissipation. Burst to Compute is a scalable cloud service built right into Ansys Discovery. Just launch, simulate, and solve thousands of design variations in minutes. 🚀 Fast iterations, smarter thermal decisions, zero bottlenecks. This is how real-time simulation meets cloud scale.

    Automating Smarter Designs with Scripting in Ansys Discovery. Discovery’s scripting tools make it easy to create and adapt complex geometry that directly supports better simulation results. In this example, scripting helps generate geometry for a thermal application, enabling engineers to quickly test and refine cooling strategies. Whether for electronics cooling or other thermal management challenges, scripting in Discovery reduces repetitive work, speeds up model preparation, and ensures consistency across designs. The result is more time spent optimizing performance, and less time spent on setup. 👉 Get your free trial of Ansys Discovery here: https://ansys.me/4gqxaoa

  • With Discovery 2025 R2, designs can now be evaluated under unpredictable, real-world vibration environments. The workflow begins with a modal analysis to identify natural frequencies, followed by a random vibration study to capture how the structure responds to a spectrum of vibration inputs. The result is a detailed stress contour showing exactly where and how the structure is affected. With Discovery, engineers can: -Evaluate durability and reliability earlier in the design process -Predict structural responses to complex vibration profiles -Gain confidence in designs before committing to prototypes These new capabilities make advanced structural analysis more accessible, in real time and directly within the design environment. 👉 Learn more about random vibration in Discovery 2025 R2 and explore the other new features here: https://ansys.me/3VclJH1
