Structures
Build Structures That Hold Their Ground
INTRODUCTION
Structural failure rarely announces itself in the design phase; it shows up later, as a crack, a resonance problem, or a part that doesn’t survive its first real-world load. Structures gives your engineering teams the tools to catch that failure before it happens, through finite element analysis that tests strength, vibration, thermal behavior, durability and impact resistance, all before a physical part exists.
Built around Ansys Mechanical, Ansys LS-DYNA and Ansys Motion, Structural Analysis & Simulation Software by Ansys handles everything from everyday strength and fatigue analysis to highly nonlinear, extreme-deformation problems like crash and impact. Your teams can simulate how a design responds to real operating conditions, drop tests, vibration, repetitive loading, and multiphysics interactions, so design decisions are backed by evidence, not assumption, well before the first prototype is built.
