As companies strive to produce innovative and higher quality products, the simulation of individual physics is no longer adequate for the design of many products. Multiphysics simulation allows engineers and designers to evaluate their designs operating under real-world conditions. ANSYS Multiphysics provides the analysis industry's most advanced coupled physics technology within a unified simulation environment. The ANSYS Multiphysics solution allows engineers and designers to simulate the interaction between structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid flow, acoustics and electromagnetics all within a single software product.

Multiphysics example: Fluid-structure interaction of a three-lobe valve, the model includes Non-Newtonian blood flow and anisotropic hyperelasticity to model the biological tissue.

ANSYS Multiphysics delivers two proven solution techniques for solving coupled-physics problems - the directly coupled-field elements and the ANSYS Multi-field solver. The ANSYS Multi-field solver provides robust implicit sequential coupling for solving problems such as fluid-structure interaction and induction heating. Whereas, the directly coupled-field elements provide both matrix and load vector coupling for solving problems such as Joule heating and electrostatic actuation. Together, the two solution techniques in ANSYS Multiphysics provide the appropriate solution technology to solve an extremely broad range of industry applications. Devices such as thermoelectric coolers, accelerometers, integrated circuits, solenoids, electric motors and many other devices are all readily analyzed with ANSYS Multiphysics software.

Multiphysics example: Electrostatic actuation of a folded dielectric elastomer actuator, the model includes electroelasticity and large deformation to model the dielectric elastomer.
