Ansys Definitions Flashcards
simulations to help engineers understand how fluid (gas and liquid) forces impact structures and how fluids can heat or cool machines or devices when used with multiphysics simulations
Fluids – Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
simulations provide insight into how structures respond to fluid forces, electrical emissions, or thermal changes when part of Multiphysics simulations
Structures – Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Increase the understanding of how to make smart sensors, antennas, motors and other devices operate most effectively in complex environments where thermal effects and vibration may be challenging
Electronics
