Battery Module Thermal Design Challenges Designing battery modules for usage cycles presents several unique thermal engineering challenges. Usage cycles, such as drive cycles, involve variable loads, speeds, and environmental conditions, requiring batteries to deliver consistent performance under dynamic stress. Managing thermal...

CFD visualization is the core of my job. And there are so many examples around. So let me share a little how-to today. A quest guide to post processing. A thought process documentation. Starting with a standard view for your...

Leveraging Throughflow Results to Understand Hydraulic Behavior Across Varying Flow Rates Challenges Designing hydraulic turbomachinery—such as centrifugal pumps, fans, or water turbines—involves balancing a wide range of input variables. Designers must define operating conditions like flow rate, rotational speed, impeller geometry,...

I will concentrate on advancing turbomachinery, but first, allow me to begin with a personal reflection. There is a debate surrounding the origin of the quote “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach...

Why HFSS-IC? Ansys has released HFSS-IC, a new tool aimed at small to medium-sized businesses. It enables the design of complex die assemblies mounted on packages and integrated onto printed circuit boards. The solution includes three robust solvers—HFSS, Q3D, and...

This blog shows how to perform a magnetostatic 3D analysis in Ansys Maxwell to calculate the torque generated by the interaction between a current-carrying coil and a permanent magnet. In this example, the current in the coil generates a...

SUMMARY For users of Ansys Mechanical, expanding into Ansys Motion can unlock powerful new capabilities—but making that transition requires more than just navigating a familiar interface. While both tools share the same graphical environment, they rely on fundamentally different solvers...

Injection Blow Molding Design Challenges Designing parts for injection blow molding (IBM) presents several unique engineering challenges. First, achieving uniform wall thickness is crucial for both structural integrity and efficient material use. Irregular thickness can lead to defects like warping or uneven...

Key Takeaways: Centrifugal pumps are a reliable and efficient pump solution for industrial needs. They are capable of handling large volumes of fluids and are popular in chemical processing and water treatment. Efficient centrifugal pump solutions are tailored to...

Integrating descriptive statistics into CFD to assess variability and convergence. Challenges In engineering, especially when working with simulations, we often deal with large datasets describing the behavior of fluids, temperatures, stresses, or concentrations. Interpreting these values in a meaningful way requires...
