This document provides an overview of ANSYS, an engineering simulation software. It discusses that ANSYS was founded in 1970 and went public in 1996. It is used to design and test products using simulations of factors like durability, temperature, fluid flow, and electromagnetic properties. The document describes the two main ANSYS environments - APDL for analyzing structures and Workbench for finite element analysis across various systems. It provides examples of companies that use ANSYS and discusses how Nebia used ANSYS simulations to optimize its showerhead design.

3. Introduction
Ansys was founded in 1970 by John Swanson.
Swanson sold his interest in the company to
venture capitalists in 1993. Ansys went public on
NASDAQ in 1996. In the 2000s, Ansys made
numerous acquisitions of other engineering
design companies, acquiring additional
technology for fluid dynamics, electronics
design, and other physics analysis.

4. Ansys Inc. is an American public company based
in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. It develops and
markets engineering simulation software. Ansys
software is used to design products and
semiconductors, as well as to create simulations
that test a product's durability, temperature
distribution, fluid movements, and
electromagnetic properties.

5. What is it?
ANSYS is a program that deals with Finite Element Analysis,
mainly solves a problem by approximation.
It is now mostly used by various high class companies, UG, PG
Students.
Most Ansys simulations are performed using the Ansys Workbench
software, which is one of the company's main products. Typically
Ansys users break down larger structures into small components
that are each modeled and tested individually. A user may start by
defining the dimensions of an object, and then adding weight,
pressure, temperature and other physical properties.

6. Environments
Basically ANSYS has 2 environments:
1. APDL
2. Workbench

7. ANSYS Parametric Design Language
In APDL, one can analyse various one and two dimensional
structures like beams, truss, etc.,
It is a scripting program, where one can control various
actions using coding or through navigation.
In APDL with various coding, location of node, elements
change in stress, displacement even Bending moment
diagram, shear force diagram can be made.

9. Workbench
The ANSYS Workbench environment is an intuitive up-front finite
element analysis tool that is used in conjunction with CAD systems
and/or DesignModeler. ANSYS Workbench is a software environment
for performing structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses.
The class focuses on geometry creation and optimization, attaching
existing geometry, setting up the finite element model, solving, and
reviewing results.
Within workbench it is of many systems like structural, thermal,
fluid flow fluent, electromagnetic, topology optimisation, rigid
dynamics etc.,

17. Solution using ANSYS- Real World Problem
Startup Nebia is poised to transform the experience of taking
a shower.
Using CFD solutions from ANSYS, Nebia was able to analyze
the thermal effects of hundreds of thousands of variables in
its showerhead design

20. Hall of Fame
A competition conducted by ANSYS to bring out the best from
it.
