About the Ansys Discovery Application
The Ansys® Discovery application 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.
The Discovery application 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
The application 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 insights by leveraging fault-tolerant GPU meshing and solution. Define a simulation, change the geometry model or physics setup and results are updated in real time.
- Refine stage provides you with design validation by leveraging body-fitted CPU meshing and either GPU or CPU solutions using Ansys® LiveGX and Ansys® Mechanical™ solvers.
