Combining Parametric Modeling with Design Exploration

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) helps investigate large numbers of product variants across numerous product application scenarios. This is a key strategy to cut costs and shorten design cycles during the virtual product development process. Ansys has a long history in supporting this process using Ansys DesignXplorer. Ansys Workbench and Ansys Electronics Desktop provide leading technology for parametric and pervasive CAD and CAE modeling for simulation-driven product development. Ansys optiSLang delivers efficient workflows for design variation, optimization and robust design optimization (RDO) including Ansys DesignXplorer functionality.

In this framework Ansys Workbench enables powerful parametric modeling, including bidirectional interfaces to major CAD programs. Workbench’s process automation and job control helps update the designs. optiSLang’s process integration enables direct integration with any additional parametric modeling environments and external CAE codes. Easy-to-use sensitivity study, optimization and robustness evaluation are enabled by predefined workflows. In addition, optiSLang now has a user-friendly connection to Electronics Desktop.

The webinar addresses current DesignXplorer users and all customers interested in design exploration, design optimization or robust design. We demonstrate how to use optiSLang together with Workbench, Electronics Desktop and other tools.
