What will you Discover?
“One sometimes finds what one is not looking for.”- Sir Alexander Fleming, Penicillin
Sir Dyson developed 5,127 prototype designs between
1979 and 1984
ANSYS is driving innovation with digital experimentation!

ANSYS Discovery Live
Technology
• Massively parallel solvers and post-processing running on GPUs
• Fast, flexible, CAD-neutral geometry platform (SpaceClaim)
• Volumetric simulation approach
A new paradigm in 3D design exploration, bringing real time simulation into the hands of every engineer.
Benefits:
• Quickly create & test multiple design variations
• Minimal learning curve
• Negligible setup time (no meshing/time step) choices
• Robust - no failed simulations
• Scales with future compute advances
Features:
• Speed – Instantaneous simulation experience
• Ease of use – Run 1st simulation in minutes.
• Geometry Enabled – Edit geometry from any CAD source.
• Interactive – Edit physics inputs, geometry, or alter display characteristics, and simulations update in real-time.

Discovery Live in the Design Cycle
Discovery Live answers questions such as:− How can I improve mixing efficiency?
− What if / could we?
− What will behavior look like if a parameter is changed?
− Which iteration seems to perform better?
− Where/how can I reduce weight with minimal effect on performance?
Physics simulations in Discovery Live are fast, cheap, easy
Speed, reliability, and tight geometry integration are valued over high accuracy
Why Discovery Live?~80% of product costs are
determined early design phases

Customer Success StoryRoadtec, a subsidiary of Astec Industries
The problem
• Must understand drag and forces on vehicles to know how to restrain them
• Goal to understand the magnitude of forces on a canopy of an MVT and subsequently minimize them
How they used Discovery Live
• Rapidly adjusted canopy angles
• Reversed the entire MVT – an obvious adjustment with Discovery Live
Results
• Discovered reversing the vehicle made a significant impact
• 1 week estimate of time required to analyze in traditional CFD system
• 1.5 days to learn Discovery Live & obtain results

Customers and Press
"I believe it could be a game changer ... It has the potential for our
specialists and designers to do “what if” studies much, much faster and
easier.“
- Bob Tickel, Director of Structural & Dynamic Analysis,
Corporate R&T, Cummins
"I was blown away by the speed and ease of use … You will be able to
perform your first analysis in less than 15 minutes.“
- Travis Jacobs, Principal at Jacobs Analytics
“It removes the barrier of having to learn how to use a
simulation tool… students can get right to the physics and
discover without having to become simulation experts first.“
- Prof. Rajesh Bhaskaran, Cornell University
"I never thought I’d be able to do CFD modeling unless
I pursued a higher level engineering degree.“
- Olivia Lim, AirLoom Energy
"....something radical has
come along: ANSYS
Discovery Live."
“This is the most impressive software
demo I've seen in two decades.”“I’ve heard the ‘we’re going to revolutionise
simulation’ a billion times …so can it
[Discovery Live] really change simulation
adoption? My belief is that it could.”
JACOBSANALYTICS
“It looks, for a first release, like one of the biggest breakthroughs
in design and engineering technology in the last ten years. And
this is just the first, preproduction release”
