Building upon its comprehensive portfolio of advanced multiphysics engineering simulation technology, ANSYS has released version 14.5 to further support an integrated and streamlined approach to design exploration and the creation of a complete virtual prototype. New multiphysics capabilities are seamlessly brought together with the ANSYS Workbench platform to deliver unmatched engineering productivity and innovation.

In the real world, product performance varies by operating conditions, consumer usage, manufacturing processes and material properties. As products become increasingly complex, it is more challenging for engineers to fully understand the performance implications of design variations. Multiphysics simulation technology enables companies to make informed decisions based on insight gained from these analyses to deliver optimal results. Built on a platform that streamlines workflow among simulation applications, ANSYS 14.5 delivers many new and critical multiphysics solutions, enhancements to preprocessing and meshing capabilities as well as a new parametric high-performance computing (HPC) licensing model to make design exploration more scalable.

“It’s no secret that while today’s products are getting smarter, they’re also becoming more complex,” said Jim Cashman, President and CEO at ANSYS. “Having a holistic view of the product requirements and design is crucial to reduce design uncertainty and ultimately create a successful product. Our customers are depending on the depth and breadth of ANSYS 14.5 and our Workbench platform to confidently predict how their products will perform and, at the end of the day, provide good value and satisfaction to their customers.”
