Speed In numerous independent benchmarking exercises, ANSA has proven to be not only the fastest finite element pre-processor, but also the only one that could actually handle some of the modeling tasks. The speed and versatility of ANSA is due to the synthesis of concepts developed and/or perfected by BETA CAE Systems. Through these innovations, ANSA has been leading the finite element pre-processing software industry for more than a decade. Some of the features that sets ANSA apart are: Fast, robust algorithms Easy to use geometry clean up, healing and construction Geometry based assembly and boundary condition definition Mesh and geometry associativity CAD and FE models in one data base Connection manager for fast and accurate assembly Fast, automatic and high quality meshing of assembled geometry Mesh reconstruction - ultra-fast mesh coarsening and/or correction Object-Orientated Database Functional Interoperability between many solvers Parts management, linking, and powerful database management tools One level menu system - perform most task with one or two clicks And more... The ANSA Process - Common Digital Model In addition to speed, these powerful features enable you to build geometry based multi-disciplinary models (Common Digital Model) to be shared across the product attributes. This would: Reduce modeling effort by performing tasks only once: Geometry clean up Welding and fastening Assignment of material properties Offset of geometry to mid-plane Penetration correction Trimming Improve accuracy and consistency: Model updates and upgrades are performed once Every one works on the same product design Reduce model size by re-meshing as needed: Reduces run time Improves graphical (pre/post processing) speed Reduces IT expenditure; larger models need larger computers Reduce outsourcing by taking advantage of: ANSA's speed and versatility ANSA's easy to learn, one level user interface Share models without compromising accuracy or efficiency Improve your CAE department's value by: Spending less time and money modeling, and getting to the task of analysis and engineering before it is too late to have a real impact on the product. >> Click here for more information on ANSA.
