Improving CAE Workflows with Ansys OptiSLang

Product development cycles face competing pressures – accelerate development and ensure reliability, all while balancing cost control and flexibility to innovate. Since engineers are under constant pressure to deliver faster, safer, and more cost-effective designs, we need a way to evaluate trade-offs ‑early, before design freedom is lost. Ansys OptiSLang is built precisely for this purpose, by changing the paradigm from “simulate to check” to “simulate to discover”.

How to approach hardware selection in 2025 for Ansys CFD solvers (all budgets considered – from laptops to clusters!)

Working at the bleeding-edge of engineering simulations, LEAP’s engineers are frequently asked for advice from our clients across many different industries, who are looking to successfully navigate the balance between cost and optimal solver performance when purchasing new hardware. The following advice is primarily based on LEAP’s accumulated recent experience with a particular focus on CFD workloads (Ansys Fluent), as FVM codes are capable of scaling incredibly well if the system is well designed.

Expert Tips on tuning the GEKO turbulence model

This article answers the question, “What is special about the GEKO model compared with all other two equation RANS models?” The result of the decades of experience that Dr. Florian Menter has acquired through his vast experience of turbulence modelling at NASA and Ansys, the GEKO model is very much the culmination of a life’s work on improving turbulence models to make them what he calls “industrial strength”. Read on to learn more.

NAFEMS Discovery Benchmark Series – Part 1: Introduction

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.

Ansys Shared Web Licensing

The Ansys Shared Web License allows users to work from anywhere, on any device with an internet connection. This is a clear difference from Flexnet License which requires both the user and license server device to be within the same network. This article explains the benefits and provides details on how you can get started with of Ansys Shared Web Licensing today.

Ansys 2024 Release Highlights – Fluids

Recently LEAP ran an Ansys user group meeting in Perth where local Ansys users showcased their work and the LEAP Technical Team presented their highlights of the latest updates in Ansys Structures and Ansys Fluids.

If you were unable to make it in-person to the event or join the live stream, we’ve got the next best thing for you: a live recording of the Fluids update session presented Dr. Lewis Clark. Lewis is LEAP’s Fluids Technical Manager, and in the following videos he presents the highlights from the Ansys 2024 Fluids R1 and R2 releases.

Ansys 2024 Release Highlights – Structures

If you were unable to make it in-person to the event or join the live stream, we’ve got the next best thing for you: a live recording of the Structures update session presented by Dr. Luke Mosse. Luke is a Senior Application Engineer at LEAP Australia, and in the following videos he presents the highlights from the Ansys 2024 Structures & Explicit Dynamics R1 and R2 releases.

How Simulation technology gives Triple Eight Race Engineering an edge in the hyper-competitive world of V8 Supercars

Fresh from an extraordinary victory in the final race at the Adelaide 500, and capping off another successful Supercars Championship season in 2024 for Red Bull Ampol Racing, this article takes you behind-the-scenes into the workshop of Triple Eight Race Engineering to find out what makes their engineering team arguably *the* best in the business.

Getting Started with the new Altium-Ansys Smart Bridge

We at Leap Australia have been supporting Altium Users for years when it comes to pre-compliance putting the PCB Designs under test. This can be a basic voltage drop analysis, a more advanced DDR5 analysis up to EMC investigations or the reliability of the board under MIL-STD-810G.

Orbit Determination: An Introduction with ODTK

Orbit determination serves as a foundational cornerstone to almost all modern telecommunications systems. It allows us to accurately discern not only the current, but the future position of satellites in orbit, a vital component to being able to transmit and receive data from these satellites, avoid collisions up in space and plan future space exploration missions. This post explains how orbital determination works and how the Ansys Orbit Determination Tool Kit (ODTK) helps to simplify what can be an incredibly difficult undertaking.
