Ansys Workbench users in engineering design now can easily import and apply critical materials data from Granta MI, the powerful "materials intelligence" system.
Software chosen for fusion power project
Engineering simulation solutions from Ansys will be used to accelerate research and development by optimising key components of the ITER experimental fusion reactor.
Workbench will be the foundation for its simulation environment.
This was based on the integration with Pro/Engineer for exchanging data such as geometry, parameters, materials and attributes.
Next, the two companies worked together to integrate their in-house electron collector simulation code, Collect 3D, into this environment.
The next project will be the integration of Ansys Variational Technology (VT) into Collect 3D to improve the performance and accuracy of design of experiments studies.
"By facilitating bidirectional communication with our CAD system and by having the ability to apply VT to access the impact of material and geometrical parameter variations, Workbench will significantly improve our design processes," said Jean Francois David, Head of Numerical Simulation at Thales.
"This will enable us to improve our products and allow us to maintain our competitive edge".
"The ease-of-use of Workbench and its modules, such as Design Modeler and Design Xplorer VT, will allow us to spread simulation to other Thales sites including Velizy and Thonon in France as well as ULM in Germany".
Upon completion, Thales will integrate its processes and software with Ansys software into the Workbench environment to provide a homogenous simulation platform for all the company's analysis needs including structural, modal and electromagnetics.
"Our newly formed relationship with Thales demonstrates the value of Workbench and how it can be used as an effective tool to drive product development", said Joseph Fairbanks, VP of Worldwide Sales and Support at Ansys.
"We value our relationship with this global leader, and we will continue to look for new ways to help them be more innovative and successful".
