Up to 80% of the cost of a product’s development is governed by the decisions you make early in the design process. Upfront simulation is digitally researching design concepts and testing critical design choices early in the product lifecycle using simulation. Upfront simulation gives you the information to make educated decisions, minimize costly physical prototypes, and avoid impractical designs moving forward. Upfront simulation helps you bring innovation to market faster and inexpensively.

ANSYS AIM makes upfront simulation simple and straightforward by combining intuitive, guided workflows, accurate simulation results with precision and optimization in a complete simulation tool. Integrated geometry modeling based on ANSYS SpaceClaim technology helps you create new 3-D concept models, or edit/repair existing geometry. Whether a simulation includes electromagnetics, thermal, structures, or fluids or combinations thereof, all facets of simulation workflow are included in the single-window design, which allows you to predict complete product performance with results you can trust. AIM’s powerful parametric and optimization proficiency can automatically research the design space thoroughly and find the best design rapidly.

ANSYS AIM makes it effortless to extend simulation throughout an engineering organization. You can customize AIM’s user interfaces to fulfill your company’s standards for simulation, and create simulation templates for your unique industry applications. Because AIM includes fluids, structures, thermal and electromagnetics simulation proficiencies, engineers only need to learn one tool, minimizing training time and costs.
