The complete simulation suite in one install, covering structural, fluid, thermal, electromagnetic and multiphysics analysis with the full solver set.
ANSYS is not one application, it is a collection of solvers with a shared front end, and this listing is the whole collection rather than a single discipline. Structural mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, thermal analysis, electromagnetics, optics, semiconductor and materials work all install together under Workbench, which coordinates the geometry, the mesh, the solve and the results as a connected project schematic rather than a set of separate applications.
The structural side covers static and transient analysis, modal and harmonic response, buckling, fatigue, explicit dynamics for impact and drop, and full non linear behaviour including plasticity, contact, hyperelastic materials and large deformation. Fluids covers Fluent and CFX with the full turbulence model set, multiphase flows, combustion, moving meshes and conjugate heat transfer. Electromagnetics covers low and high frequency work, motors, antennas, signal integrity and EMC.
Meshing is where a lot of the practical work lives and it is treated as a first class part of the workflow. Automatic meshing with size controls and inflation layers, hex dominant and polyhedral options, mesh quality metrics, and a mesh that stays associated with the geometry so a design change re meshes rather than starting over. SpaceClaim is included for geometry preparation, which is genuinely the fastest way to clean up imported CAD, defeature it and extract fluid volumes.
Results handling includes the full post processing environment with contour and vector plots, streamlines, particle traces, animations, probes and chart output, plus a report generator. Parametric studies, design of experiments, response surfaces and optimisation run through the project schematic, so sweeping a design across a parameter range is a table rather than a manual repeat. Solves distribute across cores and across machines where the hardware is available.
Read the whole list before you start. Most of the reports that come into the desk about this title turn out to be a step taken out of order.
| Processor | Intel or AMD, 64 bit, 8 cores minimum, 16 or more for realistic solve times |
|---|---|
| Memory | 32 GB minimum, 64 GB or more for large fluid and explicit models |
| Graphics | Certified workstation GPU with 8 GB VRAM recommended |
| Storage | 120 GB free during install, fast storage for solve scratch space |
| Display | 1920 by 1080 minimum, dual displays recommended |
Solve scratch space is heavily written. Put it on a separate fast drive from the install or large solves crawl.
Install the licensing component before the products. Doing it afterwards means every product needs reconfiguring by hand.

The numerical computing environment and its language, bundled with the full toolbox set and Simulink so nothing is missing when a model asks for a block you do not have.
The statistical analysis package that most social science, medical and market research work is written against, with the full procedure set unlocked.
Schematic capture and SPICE simulation with virtual instruments that behave like the bench equipment they are modelled on, plus the layout handoff for turning a circuit into a board.
Schematic capture, board layout, routing, signal integrity and manufacturing output in one unified environment rather than a chain of separate tools handing files to each other.
