ANSYS DesignModelerPowerful Geometry Modeling for Engineering Simulation
Creating design models is a core part o the product development pro-
cess and the frst step in the simulation process. These models can be
o geometry orms representing actual design details, or they can be
approximations o the designs using simplifed components like beams
and plates. Besides being an essential component o engineering simu-
lation, geometry also links engineering simulation with design and
manuacturing, and thereby plays a critical role in Simulation Driven
Product Development™.
With direct interaces to all major computer-aided design (CAD) sys-
tems, support o additional readers and translators, and an integrated
geometry modeler exclusively ocused on analysis, ANSYS oers the
most comprehensive geometry handling solutions or engineering
simulation in an integrated environment.
The industry-leading ANSYS® Workbench™ computer-aided engi-
neering (CAE) integration environment is CAD-neutral and supports
bidirectional, direct, associative interaces with all major CAD systems.
The environment includes a eature-based solid modeler, which can be
used to create a parametric geometry rom scratch or prepare an exist-
ing CAD geometry or analysis. These tools provide a parametric andpersistent modeling environment that is ideal or perorming design
optimization.
Automation with the Flexibility to Customize
Parametric and Persistent
Geometry modeling in the ANSYS Workbench environment is
highly automated and also provides users the exibility to customize
according to the type o analysis or application. The eature-based,
parametric ANSYS® DesignModeler™ sotware can be used to cre-
ate parametric geometry rom scratch or to prepare an existing CAD
geometry or analysis. It includes automated options or simplifcation,
cleanup, repair and deeaturing. Simulation oten demands unique
modeling capabilities that typical CAD operations do not require.Thereore, these capabilities are either lacking in CAD systems or
implemented in a ashion that is not optimum or perorming
simulation.

ANSYS DesignModeler sotware provides unique modeling unctions
or simulation that include parametric geometry creation, concept
model creation, CAD geometry modifcation, automated cleanup and
repair, and several custom tools designed or uid ow, structural and
other types o analyses.
Parametric Geometry Creation
Advanced Technology, Process Compression
The ANSYS DesignModeler product supports a sketch-and-extrude
approach to creating parametric geometry. It oers extrude, revolve,sweep, chamer and other standard geometry creation eatures to
create ully parametric models. In addition, it supports primitives and
Boolean operations or creating a new geometry or adding comple-
mentary geometry to an existing model. These models can be used
with any core simulation product rom ANSYS, or with the ANSYS®
DesignXplorer™ product or perorming design optimization.
Concept Model CreationBeam and Shell Modeling
Concept models are used in a product development process prior to
any detailed CAD geometry being created. These design approxima-
tions, along with simulation results, are extremely useul in making
ast product decisions early in the design cycle, when product costs can
be impacted signifcantly.
Preparing Existing Geometry for Analysis
Advanced Technology, Greater Automation and Process Compression
CAD models are usually intended to accurately represent the exact
intents o the fnal designs and oten lack additional eatures required
or simulation. The ANSYS DesignModeler tool provides these unique
simulation eatures, such as splitting suraces or applying loads,
defning welds or creating regions around models that represent ow
volumes or uid ow analysis.
A CAD model also may contain much more detail than the simulation
process requires, or the detail may not be in the right orm. ANSYS
DesignModeler sotware enables tasks like deleting CAD eatures,

surace modeling. Face and edge merge operations can be used to eas-ily simpliy models by eliminating unnecessary eatures and boundar-
ies, leading to improved meshes and aster solutions. Sew and connect
operations can be used to ensure proper connectivity in models with
gaps and overlaps. Similarly, the ability to select and extend groups o
suraces greatly simplifes the process o closing gaps between parts
ater midsurace extraction. This results in easier modeling o welds, or
example. In addition, several eatures are available or beam modeling,
including support o standard cross sections, user-defned osets, user-
defned cross sections and tools or orientation control.
Automated Cleanup and Repair
Process Compression
Cleanup and repair o problematic geometries are major bottlenecks in
engineering simulation. The cleanup and repair tools in ANSYS Design-
Modeler sotware automatically detect and fx typical problems, such as
small edges, sliver aces, holes, seams, and aces with sharp angles. This
allows geometry models to be prepared or analysis at a ast pace. As
always, analysis settings remain persistent ater these operations and are
updated automatically in response to changes in geometry.
