• The best FEA software solution on the market. The ANSYS Mechanical Software Suite provides a complete range of structural finite element analysis (FEA) tools to help your engineers make better and faster design decisions while solving complex structural engineering problems.
• Ansys engineering simulation and 3D design software delivers product modeling solutions with unmatched scalability and a comprehensive multiphysics foundation.
• At AGI, an Ansys company, we’ve been crafting breakthroughs since 1989. Our software is integral to the success of hundreds of organizations throughout the aerospace, defense, and telecommunications industries — among others. Some of the most important air, space, and defense programs of the past 30 years have relied on the products we build.

Ansys Mechanical, Ansys CFD (CFX, Fluent), Ansys AIM, and the Ansys Electronics Suite (HFSS, SIWave, MAXWELL) are all supported on 64bit Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016 (check out this link for Ansys hardware and OS roadmap). This platform gives the analysis community great computing capacity while delivered at commodity pricing. A multicore 64 bit processor system can address large amounts of RAM and allow large file sizes. A suggested analysis system may be something like:

In this video, it has been shown how you could download Ansys software for free.ANSYS Inc. Is providing free student version software for ANSYS Beginners.In.

• A processor with at least 4 cores (each product of the current Ansys product line uses 4 cores with no additional charge. Additional cores can be utilized with HPC licenses).

• Windows 64bit Operating System

• 4 GB (or higher) graphics card (DRD has had good experience with NVIDIA cards)

• 16-128 GB of RAM based on problem size

• Two 1 TB PCIe hard drives in a RAID 0 configuration. This is the fastest performance configuration and should provide plenty of space for analysis models.

• A hardware RAID controller and not a software RAID controller as software RAID controllers hurt performance.

• 17' or larger flat panel display. Dual monitors are often desirable.

If you wish, contact DRD technical support (support@drd.com) for further hardware configuration assistance when ordering a new computer.

Whether the simulation is structural, fluid, or electromagnetic, the Ansys HPC product is needed for parallel processing with greater than 4 cores. A computer with a single processor of six cores is considered as six cores. Similarly, a dual ten core machine would be considered a 20 core computer. Please consult with your DRD sales representative for the appropriate Ansys HPC licensing for the best price/performance ratio on these multicore platforms.

Ansys software is generally obtained by downloading via the web.

Digital Mission Engineering

Connecting models to operational outcomes.

Digital mission engineering.

Shrinking timelines and increasingly complex systems require revolutionary approaches to system design and operations. By adopting a digital mission engineering approach, you can dramatically reduce delivery times at every phase of the life cycle.

• Focus on what matters with a persistent mission thread.
• Break down silos by creating an integrated ecosystem.
• Test early and often to find problems before they become crises.

Focus on what matters.

Create a persistent mission thread.

The engineering or system life cycle involves multiple stages from inception to sustainment. Each component or subsystem connects to multiple systems — forming a larger, complex system of systems.
That’s where digital mission engineering software comes in.
By providing a persistent mission model that consistently ties back to the core purpose of any development project — the mission — digital mission engineering software helps disparate teams maintain their focus and validate their work with respect to the greater purpose.

Break down silos.

Integrate your ecosystem.

Multiple phases. Multiple teams. Multiple tools.
With all the moving parts involved in developing, designing, engineering, testing, and operating today's complex aerospace and defense systems, information silos are hard to avoid. But, every one of them is disruptive at the least, and risky at the worst.
AGI’s digital mission engineering software is intrinsically integratable. And, our ecosystem of partners make it easy to create a digital mission engineering software stack that openly exchanges information throughout all phases of the life cycle.

Test early and often.

Find problems before they become crises.

With digital mission engineering software, you can measure the performance of your system against its mission and its operational context from the very first sketch to the final prototype.
Introducing test and evaluation activities from the beginning will help you spot issues before they become a threat to your entire program.
