ANSYS Rigid Dynamics is an ANSYS Workbench add-on to ANSYS Structural, ANSYS Mechanical or ANSYS Multiphysics software Using the ANSYS Rigid Dynamics product to analyze a fully rigid system with joints can save a considerable amount of time in model troubleshooting. Once a working rigid model is developed, it is a simple matter to convert parts of interest from rigid to flexible for a more comprehensive rigid-flexible dynamics simulation.
Benefits
Extremely fast solution, often measured in seconds for even complex assembly dynamics.
Configuration option that allows interactive kinematic manipulation of assembly and uncovers incorrect constraints immediately.
Iterative "what if" simulations possible; realistic manual optimization opportunity due to the very low CPU requirements of an all rigid dynamics solution.
Converting an all-rigid model to a combined rigid-flexible model takes just a few mouse clicks and be ready to run in minutes.
