ANSYS 2019 R3 brings a whole host of improvements to various mechanical features, designed to enhance overall optimization and ease of use. Key updates such as those made in regards to the mechanical solver, MAPDL element features, and contact modeling capabilities help make this release essential for performing effective analyses, and deriving valuable results from said analyses.
For example, being able to simulate contact correctly means that engineers can simulate the change in load paths when parts deform and confidently predict how assemblies will behave in the real world.
Join PADT's Simulation Support Manager Ted Harris, for a look at the latest mechanical solver, element, and contact updates available in ANSYS 2019 R3. This presentation includes enhancements made for:
- Improved scaling for various solvers
- surface stress evaluation for axisymmetric solid elements
- Piezoelectric analyses
- Nonlinear radial gap elements
- And much more
