Ansys Sherlock is a reliability tool for electronics components that allows engineers to make fast and accurate life predictions for their electronics hardware.
This post provides a high-level overview of how Sherlock can be used to examine a mission-critical PCB that is part of a module expected to make multiple trips out into orbit and then back to Earth.
In part three of our NAFEMS Discovery Benchmark Series we move beyond simple plates to look at more complex 3D structures to ensure the software can accurately handle a broad spectrum of geometries including cylinders and cantilevers. Read on to see how Discovery handled this benchmark test.
Electrical circuit solvers are typically a computationally light simulation technique, but are difficult to scale, with potentially tens or hundreds of millions of time steps to calculate specific characteristic values for a design. In this article we look at how the new Ansys optiSLang AI+ extension can dramatically accelerate single solve simulations by replicating part of the system and removing it from the circuit simulator entirely.
In this post we delve into the world of Model-Based Definition (MBD) and demonstrate how to embed annotation data directly into your 3D CAD models. As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently took a deep dive into MBD, explaining 3D GD&T, semantic references, and leveraging annotation planes. Read on and watch the highlights of Ben’s presentation to learn how your team can streamline design-to-manufacturing workflows without relying on 2D drawings.
As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently took a deep dive into the fundamentals of 2D annotations within the Creo Parametric drawing environment. Here we have provided the highlights from this session which will guide you through creating clear, compliant 2D technical drawings with views, dimensions, notes, symbols, and GD&T annotations. Read on to learn how to improve the clarity and manufacturability of your 2D outputs.

Part 2 of our Getting Started with Vuforia Studio blog series introduces a new set of essential video tutorials that walk you through the process of authoring AR experiences and how to implement particular AR techniques and UI elements using Vuforia Studio. Topics include navigating the 2D canvas, animating and creating exploded views with Creo Illustrate, using occlusion and more.
Part two in our NAFEMS Discovery Benchmark Series tackles pressure plates. The NAFEMS linear elastic benchmarks feature two problems where a plate is subjected to a pressure load. LE1 involves a thin elliptic structure stretched outwards by a pressure force, while LE10 uses the same plate, but thickens it and applies a higher pressure. Read on to see how Discovery handled this benchmark test.
In 1986, NAFEMS first published a set of benchmarks for FEA codes with the aim to develop a set of standard tests that would more critically allow developers and users to interrogate the performance of FEA software. In this NAFEMS Discovery benchmark series we put Ansys Discovery to the test against challenging benchmarks to see just how well this tool can improve your design workflow.
