ANSYS DesignSpace

ANSYS DesignSpace is a powerful, yet easy-to-use simulation software package that gives product designers and engineers the power to conceptualize, design and validate all their ideas right on their desktops. Using Knowledge-Based Automation™, this streamlined, user-friendly simulation tool is based on the same powerful ANSYS technology that has been resolving challenging design issues for more than 32 years.

Using DesignSpace, product design teams will produce better products in less time with fewer field failures. DesignSpace gives designers and engineers the ability to easily perform real-world, step-by-step structural, thermal, dynamic, weight optimization, performance optimization, vibration mode and safety factor simulations on all their designs. DesignSpace also includes the industry's best Web-based Report Generator.

DesignSpace is fully associative with the latest versions of major three-dimensional CAD packages, including: Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, Unigraphics, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and Autodesk Mechanical Desktop. Plus, DesignSpace reads data from CATIA and common file geometry file formats like SAT, and Parasolid.
