- 6. BYOL Perpetual or Leased Licenses. ANSYS Elastic Licensing with ANSYS Elastic Units (AEU) Based on core-hour usage and solver. - ANSYS HPC Packs - ANSYS Parametric Packs ANSYS Licensing in the Cloud Example Scenario Large model, calculation time 13 days. Elastic Licensing - Use AEU for FLUENT and HPC Packs Prices include high performance hardware on Azure, UberCloud license & service, and additional license cost for Fluent and HPC packs. Reduce Cost by Choosing Licensing That Matches Your Needs Scale Up On Prem HPC Example ANSYS Fluent Benchmark Model www.ansys.com
- 10. FASTER TIME TO MARKET GLOBAL ACCESSIBILITY UNLOCK NEW CAPABILITIES There are huge benefits for engineers CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ANALYSIS
- 11. Software Maintenance ANSYS upgrades ! (typically 4 times a year)! Benchmarking Benchmarking your model on different Azure cluster sizes using ANSYS benchmarking models! Ongoing Operations Adding/removing nodes from the cluster (this is a big benefit and money saver since the entire cluster is not needed 7x24 at peak capacity)! Support Break fix services when cluster nodes fail! Training Training on how to use the services (transfer files, monitor jobs, etc)! Initial Setup Setting up and validating ANSYS software, MPI (parallel processing) on the Azure cluster ! Also great benefits for IT $ Lower TCO

- 13. Airbag Simulation with ANSYS LS-DYNA Experiment performed to better understand airbag inflation behavior under dynamic conditions. Air bag inflation performed with different mesh densities. Simulation time for highly fine mesh models reduced drastically, to under 30 minutes. Airbag un-deformed and deformed shape. ANSYS Case Study
- 14. Modeling Airflow Through an Engine Intake Manifold ANSYS Case Study Study was performed to understand the flow characteristics of the engine intake manifold. HPC cloud computing environment with ANSYS workbench and FLUENT drastically reduced pre-processing, post- processing and simulation run times. 770K cell size model was completed in ~5 minutes. Comparison in solution time for different mesh densities Geometry and mesh model for air intake manifold
- 15. Aerodynamics and Fluttering Study of an Aircraft Wing Aero elastic behavior and flutter instability of an aircraft wing in the subsonic incompressible flight speed regime are investigated using fluid to structure interaction. The Cloud HPC setup for the very fine mesh (12M cells) completed the simulation within 2.25 hours. Model setup with ANSYS Workbench environment. ANSYS Case Study
