Ansys Discovery - CFD, Fluid Flow Analysis

In this video we are looking at how Ansys Discovery is used for fluid flow analysis (CFD). We look at how it can be used to aid designers in better understanding there products and allowing them to optimise designs.
We look at two examples one an internal HVAC simulation and the second an external fluid flow simulating a vehicle in a wind tunnel.
Any questions regarding the video or software please get in touch - www.origin-eng.co.uk

Hi, nice video, Please, what Laptop is needed for live simulation (minimum GPU configuration)? Can this simulate a Ducted fan and compute the necessary motor power and torque / the resulted thrust ?

Thanks for the comment and watching the video. Specs required for Discovery are · A dedicated NVIDIA GPU card (Quadro recommended, GeForce supported) based on the Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, or Ampere architecture. P3000 or better strongly recommended. Minimum 4GB of video RAM (8GB recommended) on the GPU. Graphics Driver version 451 or higher
In regards to your question, it can be done but would likely be one of the Ansys flagship products, if you would like to learn more please feel free to call us on 03333 440 880
Within Discovery you can model a fan, but you need to enter the torque and other parameters. E.g you cant predict motor power based on the fan but it is possible in other products.

@@originengineeringsolutions431 A big thanks for your reply and info. So it is feasible but with other SW from Ansys, Thanks.

@@ettrike Yes it would be possible. If you are happy to share your email we can send you some more details, if you don’t want to share on here just email us at [e-mail] or feel free to call.
