ANSYS Rigid Dynamics is an ANSYS Workbench add-on to ANSYS Structural, ANSYS Mechanical or ANSYS Multiphysics software Using the ANSYS Rigid Dynamics product to analyze a fully rigid system with joints can save a considerable amount of time in model troubleshooting. Once a working rigid model is developed, it is a simple matter to convert parts of interest from rigid to flexible for a more comprehensive rigid-flexible dynamics simulation.

Benefits

• Extremely fast solution, often measured in seconds for even complex assembly dynamics
• Configuration option that allows interactive kinematic manipulation of assembly and uncovers incorrect constraints immediately
• Iterative "what if" simulations possible; realistic manual optimization opportunity due to the very low CPU requirements of an all rigid dynamics solution
• Converting an all-rigid model to a combined rigid-flexible model takes just a few mouse clicks and be ready to run in minutes
