About Ansys SpaceClaim

Ansys is an engineering simulation and 3D design software that can be utilized by business across several industry segments, including automotive, aerospace, construction, energy, healthcare, military, chemical processing, and consumer goods. It helps organizations manage processes related to workflow automation, predictive analysis, simulation visualization, application customization, and product testing.

Using Ansys’ multiphysics simulation methodology, engineers can combine thermal, fluid, electromagnetic, structural, and other physics components to evaluate real-world interactions between complex products. The EnSight platform allows team members to analyse, visualize, and collaborate on post-processing simulation operations. The Exalto tool lets staff members predict electromagnetic coupling effects in integrated circuits (ICs) during the signoff phase. The electronics module enables developers to simulate and analyze temperature and vibration effects across component, circuit, and system designs.

Ansys comes with an API, which allows businesses to integrate the platform with several third-party solutions. With the optical simulation tool employees can simulate and evaluate systems’ optical performance and final illumination effect. It also lets users create 3D geometric designs for rotating machinery components, such as pumps, fans, compressors, turbines, turbochargers, and blowers.

Great tool for CFD and FEA with accurate and correlating results with the experimental analysis. I used this tool when I was an undergraduate for fluid flow studies and thermal analysis and now at my work place I am using it for air flow modeling in Mechanical Ventilation.

Pros

ANSYS Fluent gives very accurate and reliable simulation results in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis. It has an excellent graphical user interface (GUI) where you can easily select the type of CAE analysis and other parameters for most of the simulations while using user defined functions (UDF) to handle complex and customized simulations. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis is another great feature in this software which enables the multiphysics study of fluids and structure interaction.

Cons

ANSYS requires heavy computational power to give accurate results for complex analysis. Creating complex models in DesignModeler is harder compared to other modeling tools.

I prefer SolidWorks for 3D modeling over SpaceClaim for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that I can use the model from the SolidWorks application in a variety of applications. I also find SolidWorks to be easier to model in than SpaceClaim.

Pros

I used SpaceClaim to create 2D and 3D drawings. It was very useful and simple to use. It is also simpler than Design Modular (the previous Ansys modeling software) and provides unlimited editing options.

Cons

I believe that the software could be improved. When it comes to loading time, it is extremely inconvenient; whenever you want to open a model, you must wait a significant amount of time for it to open.

Pros

1.) Its topology optimization in a latest update provides accurate results against shape optimization in old versions.
2.) This saves time when running multiple computes to get your desired mesh.

Cons

1.) It requires a wealth of knowledge and experience including theoretical &
practical.
2.) It costs high for learners and does not provide access to full set of tools.

Im very pleased to use this program because my cad model operations are upon simplfying geometries. Spaceclaim make my job easy

Pros

Geometry modifications are very easy, you can simplfy your cad in a short time. There is no product tree, so you just click delete or "f" to delete fillet etc.. Creating cad models is very easy, you just sketch something and just pull it or modify cad with some tools.

Cons

Sometimes you need product tree for some reason. Spaceclaim have not product tree, but you can apply different methods to do what you want to do with tree.

During my mechanical engineering studies, the subjects I most enjoyed were "computer-aided design" and "Finite Element Method". For this reason my thesis was oriented in the line of mechanical design, "design of a pin-on-disk friction machine", you can apply load states on pieces of interest, determine their stresses, deformations, safety factor, fatigue, buckling between others. In the same way, repeat the process until achieving the convergence of results, redefining the meshes on a particular element. It is simply incredible.

Pros

In addition to all the different types of analysis available to apply in the pieces, you have a really friendly interface. Your pieces can be made in the Ansys DesignModeler program or be imported from other 3D CAD tools. In addition, you have refining tools for meshing to focus on areas of interest, either by its state of charge or its particular shape.

Cons

If the size of the element chosen in the meshes is very small, the simulation can take an excessive time. The issue would be related to the processing capacity of the computer.
It is required to have knowledge of the finite element methodology, to conceptually understand what you are applying in the program.
