ANSYS software is simulated computer software which is engineered to analyze the design and to find out the stress and strain on the desired objects. It is developed by ANSYS Inc. headquartered in USA. It is general purpose software which can be used for simulation of diverse disciplines of electro mechanical, heat and mass transfer, structural vibration, fluid mechanics.

ANSYS mechanical software is used for FEA (Finite Element Analysis) analysis which covers structural analysis (linear and nonlinear) and dynamic studies as well. FEA is used as a tool which provides a complete set of elements behaviour, material behaviour and equation solvers for diverse mechanical problems.

It has certain features worth mentioning:
It is used for building geometry with its pre-processing abilities and it can import CAD data.
Advance engineering analysis can be carried out easily & practically with the help of algorithms and non linear models.
It is used for the thermal analysis and thermo electric analysis and involves acoustic, piezoelectric and thermal structure.

In this competitive technological world, there is immense demand for higher efficiency and performance. Hence, manufacturers are constantly demanding software’s which can bring their concepts to life, so as to implement idea faster than the competition, and to optimize the productivity. For the professionals trained in ANSYS, it can be an exciting and rewarding career for them to optimize one’s capability.

Due to excessive demand of the innovative automobile designs and developments of aircrafts around the globe, the use of faster, powerful, high performance computing capabilities software such as ANSYS fluent can be highly rewarding.
