FEA/CFD & THERMAL 

Ansys Discovery is the first simulation-driven design tool to combine instant physics simulation (GPU), proven Ansys high-fidelity simulation (CPU) and interactive geometry modelling in a single user experience.

 

The suite allows users to import geometry from any CAD system or create it in the platform. Users can then conduct FEA, CFD, Thermal Analysis and Electromagnetic studies in one package. 

​

See below for a list of capabillities.
