About Ansys Discovery

Ansys Discovery provides a single, immersive and interactive workspace for creating your model, exploring the simulation design, and analyzing the solution. You can create and modify geometry using direct modeling technology, define simulations, and interact with results in real-time.

Discovery uses an intuitive approach to simulate structural, fluid flow, thermal designs or electromagnetics designs. You can:
  • Get started with samples, tours and tutorials
  • Optimize topology
  • Monitor solutions
  • Create, iterate and evaluate defined variations
  • Access relevant and interactive context-sensitive help
Discovery offers three stages depending on what you want to do. You can move between stages at any time to access functionality that may be limited to a given stage.
  • Focus on direct 3D geometry modeling in the Model stage without the distraction of simulation controls or results.
  • Define your simulation in Explore and/or Refine stages.
    • Explore stage gives you quick insight by displaying results in real-time. Define a simulation, change the model or physics and results are updated immediately.
    • Refine stage enables simulation of more complex physics and design validation using Ansys® Fluent® and Ansys® Mechanical™ solvers.
