00:00:00 with the insa seem you have a single simulation tool in one user interface to solve many different types of physics all starting with the same geometry aim uses advanced ANSYS technology under the hood to tackle fluid flow thermal electromagnetic and structural simulations as well as multi physics problems like thermal electric or fluid structure interaction it all starts with

00:00:25 aims built in geometry editor which utilizes the space claim direct modeling technology in addition to preparing the geometry for simulation such as fluid volume extraction you have the flexibility to manipulate any CAD file just click and drag faces to achieve any angle or dimension you want or add geometry parameters of your choice to enable design exploration in aim

00:00:50 Amos physics sensitive and generates a high-quality mesh ready to go with minimal user intervention and designed to deliver accurate results the default fluence mesh is automatically refined in areas of high curvature the proximity size function generates the desired number of cells in the thickness of solids or in small gaps hex meshes are generated in the bolts to reduce overall

00:01:15 model size detailed meshes like this take less than one minute to create in contrasting structural simulations aim automatically creates a mesh best suited for stress analysis including high order elements for this model we want to understand fluid thermal and structural performance of a flow control device where hot and cold fluid streams mix and are regulated by a butterfly valve after

00:01:40 a quick solve it's time to view the results aimes streamlined user interface makes it easy to select the exact result you want and display multiple results simultaneously if needed in this example we're solving for flow and temperature in the fluid and solid domain for the structural study we've set up a

00:01:59 multi-step simulation with bolt free tension and an applied downward load on the flange a makes it simple to couple physics together in this case mapping flow forces to the valve and viewing the resulting stresses and exaggerated defamation just as easily aim can perform a thermal FSI for temperatures from fluid simulation or mapped to the structural simulation to predict thermal

00:02:24 stress with aim results from multiple studies are available at your fingertips and a handy workflows panel use aim streamlined single user interface for solving multiple or multi physics simulations and watch your product development process go to the next level [Music]
