ANSYS AIM
- 1. ANSYS simulation technology enables you to predict with confidence that your products will thrive in the real world. Customers trust our software to help ensure the integrity of their products and drive business success through innovation. ANSYS AIM Simulation for Every Engineer ANSYS AIM is a complete solution for design engineering simulations, with all steps from geometry creation to optimization and results generation in a single, modern, easy-to-use environment. Lower the Barrier to Entry for Multiphysics Simulation ANSYS AIM guides engineers through their single discipline and multiphysics simulations using templates and task-based workflows, enabling non-experts to rapidly learn the software and obtain meaningful results that consider all the forces at play. Automate Engineering Best Practices ANSYS AIM makes it easy for simulation group managers and expert analysts to create custom templates and workflows that enforce company- specified best practices and minimize unnecessary options for all steps in the simulation process.

ANSYS Multiphysics solutions help cross-functional engineering organizations predict the performance of complex products influenced by multiple physics and improve their designs through simulations of the interactions between physics. “For the simulation of different physical domains, for example structural mechanical simulation coupled with fluid mechanics, we have introduced ANSYS AIM simulation software because of its easy-to-use multiphysics coupling. Now our technicians and engineers with no special simulation knowledge are able to use multiphysics simulation in their daily work.” Richard Krellner, Director Design Division, Klubert + Schmidt ANSYS AIM is being developed on a rapid release cycle with several releases per year. These capabilities are current as of ANSYS AIM 17.1. ANSYS, Inc. www.ansys.com ansysinfo@ansys.com 866.267.9724 © 2016 ANSYS, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
