Guest Blog: Team Lunar Rockets to F1 in Schools World Finals with Simulation and 3D Rendering

    This guest blog from Team Lunar, a Melbourne-based team made up of 6 Brighton Grammar School students participating the F1 in Schools competition explains how their usage of Ansys simulation and Keyshot 3D rendering has helped them get ahead of the pack.

    With a track record of success dating back to 2022, Lunar has amassed over 30 category awards combined, establishing themselves as decorated, formidable competitors at both State and National competitions, now representing Australia at the World Finals later this year.

    Guest Blog: Designing optimal wear liners with Ansys Rocky

      This guest blog by Dr Daniel Grasser, Consulting Engineer at TUNRA Bulk Solids, Australia provides detailed insight into his DEM studies into reducing wear in bulk materials handling equipment during his affiliation with the ARC Training Centre in Alloy Innovation for Mining Efficiency (mineAlloy) at Deakin University. Learn how Dr Grasser utilised Ansys Rocky to better understand particle flow to improve and optimise the design of wear liners while reducing the need for experimental testing.

      Lumerical Tips and Tricks #1 – Automation of Lumerical Tools with Python

        In the first of our Lumerical tips and tricks series, we look at new scripting capabilities in Ansys Lumerical using Python which offers users a more streamlined and more automated approach and a faster way to consider a full range of variables related to geometry, mesh, and solver components.

            Recording from LEAP’s recent series of Ansys 2023 R1 & R2 update seminars covering the latest updates in Ansys Fluids. Thes videos are from our Melbourne event, presented by Dr. Lewis Clark, LEAP’s Fluids Technical Manager.

            Mastering Structural Analysis: Integrating External Loads into Ansys Mechanical

              Modern engineers often work on the design of increasingly complex systems that will experience a multitude of simultaneous loading factors – such as forces, thermal effects, and pressure. Ansys Workbench offers a range of options to streamline the process of incorporating these external loads into Ansys Mechanical so that Ansys users can accurately predict stress, strain and fatigue life for such complex systems with greater precision.

              Simulating Aerothermal Shape Distortion of Hypersonic Vehicles

                How can designers of hypersonic aircraft overcome the ‘heat barrier’ using simulation to better understand aerothermal shape distortion (aka aerothermoelasticity, or fluid-structural-thermal interaction – FTSI)? This guest blog by ADFA explains how multiphysics simulation helps designers of hypersonic vehicles account for aerothermal shape distortion (which can compromise a hypersonic vehicle’s aerodynamic performance) through to the risk of catastrophic material failures, using tools that can simulate both the aerodynamics as well as the thermal and structural response.

                Fast-tracking the development of autonomous vehicles, drones and robots via engineering simulation

                  Designers of autonomous vehicles, drones & robots face key safety and reliability challenges when integrating machine vision & complex sensors. Engineering simulation tools can form part of a complete control loop for autonomous systems, helping to replicate the real world performance of sensors in a consistent and repeatable virtual test environment and leading engineers to solve issues before they become a problem in real life.

                  A look into the lightning-fast future of GPU-powered CFD

                    Here we benchmark Fluent’s new fully-native GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) solver, available since the 2023R1 release, which has delivered impressive numbers on our tests that include both high-end (A100 GPU – over five times faster than a baseline using 80 CPU cores) and standard 8GB GPUs that are probably similar to one you’re already using (still delivering a 3x3x speedup over an 8 core Intel Xeon W-11955M CPU).

                    Switchgear Pre-Compliance Simulations

                      How to use simulation to ensure switchgear functions to standards such as IEC 61439, incorporating effects such as: short circuit withstand strength, degree of protection of enclosures (arc fault), temperature rise, clearances and creepage distances, Dielectric properties of insulation, electromagnetic compatibility EMC.
