The
ANSYS ED product offers you an affordable, hands-on introduction to
ANSYS' simulation and virtual prototyping capabilities. ANSYS ED
includes many of the performance features available in the top-line
ANSYS Multiphysics - ANSYS LS-DYNA product combination, with some
limitations (see chart for limitations.) Using ANSYS ED you can perform
basic structural and thermal analyses, computational fluid dynamics
(CFD), low and high frequency electromagnetics and optimization studies
within a single product environment. ANSYS ED 10.0 also offers the new
ANSYS Workbench product development with a product combination of
DesignModeler for geometry creation and editing, Simulation for
structural, thermal and electromagnetics analysis and DesignXplorer for
design optimization studies, with some limitations (see chart for
limitations).
Then, when you're ready to step up to even more
simulation power, you can easily upgrade your ANSYS ED product to
higher-level ANSYS applications.
