Shape Optimisation without constraints – How to use the Adjoint Solver Part 1

Engineers are continually under pressure to improve the performance of their products and often look to gain an edge using optimisation techniques – trying to reduce drag, increase lift (or downforce), or reduce pressure drop. Rather than relying on intuition to make geometry changes that are often constrained (using a parametric CAD approach), you can now use the new Adjoint solver to compute localised sensitivity data (related to your objectives) and optimize your design semi-automatically.

Swapping Fuel for More Beer on your next Caravan Holiday

Caravan owners are well aware that the speed they drive at and the shape of their caravan can greatly affect fuel consumption.
In partnership with Caravan World magazine, we’ve taken a closer look into the performance of caravans with the aid of CFD, including some less obvious factors that can help shave off the drag on your caravan and improve fuel consumption.

Unbundling ANSYS licenses with LEAP Australia

To Bundle or Not to Bundle…?

    A discussion around the business benefits of a separate “PrepPost” & “Solver” licence configuration which provides greater flexibility and allows each organisation to tailor the number of licences to their team’s needs: providing the optimal blend of user productivity and solver throughput.

    AR amplifies the insights and impact of CFD

      Learn about Augmented Reality (AR) technology that was showcased at 2017 National Manufacturing Week / Austech: including the ability to augment pressure contours on the front and rear wings of the MMS racecar, as well as visualise the animated flow streamlines being released forward of the front wing. Students from MMS are using these AR CFD results to collaborate more effectively in a multi-disciplinary team environment where not everyone is a CFD expert and hopefully achieve their ultimate goals of maximising downforce on the front/rear wings and optimising the aerodynamic performance of their racecar.

      An Increasing Appetite for Innovation in the Food Industry

        Companies in the food & beverage industries looking to grow their business are implementing new technologies, such as simulation, to enable their engineers to develop new products and implement process innovations necessary to provide efficiencies of scale. Here are 7 ways that food & beverage manufacturers can harness cutting-edge simulation technology.

        Introducing the LEAP Academic Portal

        LEAP are pleased to announce the launch of the new LEAP Academic Portal, which provides self-guided tutorials and other learning resources across multiple physics. The portal is intended to arm all engineering students with a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities of CAE simulation, and prepare them for the new job market where companies expect graduates to conduct realistic, multi-disciplinary simulations of their products.
