Medeso ANSYS Newsletter

ANSYS version 11 has been released. The new release brings together powerful enhancements and new technologies to increase productivity and broaden the role of simulation in product development. The official press release can be found here.

The full program installation for different platforms can be downloaded from the ANSYS Customer Portal. Note that ANSYS Environment and ANSYS Workbench have been combined into a single installation called ANSYS Mechanical Products.
As always, it is possible to have several versions of ANSYS installed in parallell, so you do not need to uninstall version 10.
It is recommended to check the "Release notes" chapter in the manual. It lists not only new features, but also some things to keep in mind when bringing a model created in version 10 into version 11.
Version 11 contains a new product called Rigid Dynamics. Users who have license level Structural or higher will be able to use this for free during a trial period that lasts until May 31. Webex seminars presenting the dynamics capabilities will be held by ANSYS. Go here for more information.

ANSYS introduces "Quick Start Guides" for Workbench. These guides are available at the ANSYS Customer Portal and feature PDF documents and sample databases on topics such as meshing and linked analysis types.

	Path and environment names in Workbench v11 Files are stored differently in version 11 of Workbench compared to previous versions. This means that on some systems, using Environment names that are very long or contain characters such as ":" can cause problems. It is therefore recommended to use alphanumeric characters and avoid excessively long environment names. Using manual ANSYS memory settings to improve performance With large models, it can happen that solution will be extremely slow because temporary results are constantly written to the hard disk drive, or the model may not even be possible to solve at all. To some extent, performance can be improved by manually configuring the ANSYS memory settings "workspace" and "database". These methods can be used in both ANSYS Classic and ANSYS Workbench.
