What is ANSYS AIM?
ANSYS AIM is a simulation platform built on top of ANSYS flagship products like Fluent, Mechanical, and Electronics Desktop. It provides an intuitive interface and guided workflows to empower design engineers to leverage simulation early in the design cycle without needing deep expertise or support from analysts.
Key capabilities and benefits of ANSYS AIM include:
- Intuitive interface for setting up physics simulations like structural, thermal, computational fluid dynamics and more
- Embedded simulation best practices and automated workflows
- Rapid simulation concept studies to test multiple what-if scenarios
- Design optimization tools powered by high-fidelity solvers
- Collaboration capabilities to smoothly hand off models to analysis experts when needed
- Apps tailored for specific analyses like injection mold cooling, electronics cooling, antenna radiation patterns etc.
- Available as a standalone product or bundled with Mechanical, Fluids, or Electronics Desktop
By putting robust multiphysics simulation tools directly in the hands of design engineers, ANSYS AIM enables companies to explore more innovative designs, reduce physical prototyping costs, and accelerate time to market for new products.
