Preparations are under way for the 2004 Ansys Users Conference and Exhibition to be held from 24th to 26th May 2004 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
"Autodyn leads the field in FSI capabilities for fast, transient dynamics of solids, fluids, gases and their interactions", said Mike Wheeler, VP and General Manager of the mechanical business unit at Ansys.
"With this release, Ansys continues its strong commitment to meeting the multiphysics needs of an increasingly diverse customer base of sophisticated international industries and institutions".
Autodyn was developed by Century Dynamics, a subsidiary of Ansys Century Dynamics.
"In terms of performance, Autodyn v6.0 brings increased levels of flexibility through a new generation of finite elements (FEs) allowing shorter runtimes, bigger models and better accessibility to third-party FE and CAD software", said Naury Birnbaum, General Manager of Ansys and a founder of Century Dynamics.
"Besides more efficient and accurate FSI methods, the multi-material computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been significantly enhanced, providing robustness and accuracy for an even wider range of complex applications, especially those involving blast and shock".
"This CFD capability complements Ansys' market leading CFX general purpose advanced CFD software".
To respond to a rapidly increasing need for running larger and more complex simulations in a shorter time, developments have been conducted to 64bit Linux platform support and underlying data structures.
As a result, version 6.0 has more than double the throughput of previous versions on many large simulations, such as blast on buildings, penetration into reinforced concrete and fragmenting warheads and their effect on composite aircraft structures.
Parallel performance of Autodyn has been strengthened in areas such as CFD and its coupling to FEs.
Version 6.0 also offers material modelling capabilities and improved pre- and post-processing.
