Functionality Overview Integrated Geometry Modeling

Ansys Aim includes integrated geometry modeling using ANSYS SpaceClaim Direct Modeler technology, which allows you to quickly and easily prepare geometry for simulation. With AIM, you can:

Aim’s integrated geometry modeling makes it easy to quickly prepare geometry for simulation.

• Open data from any CAD system for simulation
• Edit designs and prepare them for simulation
• Simplify geometry by removing small features to improve mesh quality
• Clean-up and repair dirty geometry to create watertight solids
• Create parameters on imported geometry to optimize designs
• Create fluid volumes for both internal and external flow simulation

Guided Simulation Process

AIM streamlines the setup and execution of engineering simulation using an intuitive user interface and guided simulation process, making it easy to apply simulation early in the design process where it can form the basis for critical design decisions. Simulation process templates define task-based workflows to guide you through the entire simulation process. The AIM user interface also provides visual cues and guidances, which allow you to quickly navigate to model inputs that require attention.

 

Superior CAD Interfaces and Robust Meshing

ANSYS AIM enables you to simulate your native CAD geometry without translation to an intermediate geometry format. AIM includes integrated geometry modeling, which allows you to read geometry from all major CAD systems and rapidly create, repair and modify complex geometry to quickly evaluate design changes.

AIM also provides a wide range of highly robust automated meshing tools based on engineering intent, which allow you to rapidly generate a high quality mesh for complex geometry. AIM meshing options range from tetrahedral meshes to pure hexahedral meshes with inflation layers. Mesh settings like body, surface or edge sizing and defeaturing tolerances are also available to quickly create a high quality mesh for your simulation.

Accurate and Robust Fluid Flow

ANSYS AIM easily simulates flow and heat transfer for liquids and gases to rapidly evaluate the performance of your designs. AIM includes a robust flow solution that accurately evaluates key design parameters such as reducing pressure drop, calculating lift and drag coefficients, evaluating fluid loads, and predicting flow and thermal behavior.
