ASAS is an offshore structural finite element system with integrated modules to address the specific needs of offshore and marine engineers. It provides an integrated facility for performing structural assessment of most types of offshore/marine structures including jackets, jack-ups, concrete gravity-based platforms, risers, FPSOs, TLPs, semi-submersibles and, of course, ships.
Two packages are available. ANSYS ASAS provides a general purpose analysis capability with linear and nonlinear options including code checks for framed structures (i.e., joint checks and member checks). ANSYS ASAS Offshore extends ANSYS ASAS to include modules for wave loading, soil-pile-structure interaction and spectral fatigue due to wave, current and wind loading. Model creation can be performed via ANSYS® or with FEMGV®.
ANSYS ASAS is highly appreciated because of the following distinguishing capabilities, including:
Coupled wave/current/wind-structure interaction with nonlinear structural response
An integrated results database which can be accessed by MS-EXCEL© and Mathcad©

Combine the premier software package for explicit nonlinear structural simulation with one of the industry%u2019s most recognized and respected finite element pre- and post-processors, and you get ANSYS LS-DYNA, the result of a collaborative effort between ANSYS, Inc. and Livermore Software Technology Corporation. First introduced in 1996, ANSYS LS-DYNA%u2019s capabilities and robustness have helped thousands of customers in numerous industries resolve highly intricate design issues.
Limited-duration events (such as severe collisions and blade containment) and large, permanent deformations (within the stamping and forming industries) present engineers with unique simulation challenges. ANSYS LSDYNA meets these challenges by fusing LSTC%u2019s LS-DYNA explicit dynamic solver technology with the pre-/post-processing power of ANSYS software. This powerful pairing helps engineers understand the elaborate combinations of nonlinear phenomena found in crash tests, metal forging, stamping and catastrophic failures.
ANSYS LS-DYNA supports both 2-D and 3-D explicit elements, and features an extensive set of single-surface, surface-to-surface and node-to-surface contact as well as a contact analysis option that automatically creates the contact surfaces. ANSYS LS-DYNA also gives optional methods for fast solution processing. The symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and massively parallel processing (MMP) methods optimize the power of multiple CPUs to deliver explicit simulation results in a fraction of the time.

Flux is a general purpose CAE software which only requires that one clearly describe their idea. This is done by defining the individual components which make up the idea in each of the following areas:
- Physical shape, or geometry
- Relative location and orientation
- Mesh or discretization
- Material character
- Excitation or energy source for the idea
Flux then solves for the requested physics and provides one with multiple ways to scrutinize the solution, and to review the success of the idea. You can view the results in many different ways to clearly scrutinize your design idea. You can use color-shaded maps or isovalue lines within the problem region to look at quantities like flux density or heat distribution. You can use variation curves versus time or position, or make spatial spectrum computations. Additionally you can analyze global quantities like inductance, energy, force and torques.

Nozzle/Pro is designed specifically for the instances where excessive conservatism or dangerous designs might result from dated and often inadequate simplified techniques. Nozzle/Pro is 'sharpening the pencil', and eliminating uncertainty in a calculation. If a WRC 107 method, for example, in cases where WRC 107 estimates a result within plus or minus 150%, Nozzle/Pro can and will produce a result within 15% and will produce it much faster.
* Nozzle/Pro is easier to use than WRC 107 and far more accurate
* Nozzle/Pro produces stresses in straight, pad reinforced or barrel reinforced nozzles, and structural attachments in spherical, dished, elliptical, flat or conical heads and cylinders using the finite element method.
* Nozzle/Pro is also automatically used by Compress, AsmEQuip or Code Calc. If you have one of these products, you can automatically produce finite element results using Nozzle/Pro.
* Nozzle/Pro produces 3d models and "inspector ready" reports in an easy to read HTML format that can be reviewed by anyone with an internet browser

Closing the Loop Between Composite Design and Analysis
Together with the FiberSIM Composite Engineering Environment (CEE) or FiberSIM Advanced Composite Engineering Environment (ACEE), FiberSIM Analysis Interface™ enables engineers to design a composite part in their existing CAD system, perform producibility simulation, and then use the complete definition of the part in its to-be-manufactured form as input into a finite element analysis (FEA) package. The analyst can then run the analysis using the ply definitions and fiber orientations from the final part design, as opposed to an idealized design that may in fact be impossible to manufacture, resulting in a more accurate assessment of the part.
FiberSIM Analysis Interface provides exact fiber orientations to generate laminate properties for improved structural analysis by popular FEA software. An interface to flow modeling software for Resin Transfer Molding is also available.
The FiberSIM Analysis Interface enables engineers to:
Accurately verify part performance;
Provide detailed analysis properties from CAD models;
Work with multiple material and process simulation models.

SIMULIA Extended Analysis extends the CATIA V5 Analysis capabilities. Designers looking to quickly evaluate real world performance and deliver the right design, the first time, now can enhance their product simulation methods to include basic nonlinear and thermal analysis.
The existing CATIA Analysis products are ideal for designers who want to evaluate their designs, but are limited to the linear structural response of parts and assemblies. Many products are subject to both thermal and structural loads, or are made of materials like rubber that are inherently nonlinear. Designers may also want to study the effect of overload conditions when the product might suffer permanent deformation.
SIMULIA Extended Analysis addresses this need with the introduction of two analysis products, Nonlinear Structural Analysis (ANL) and Thermal Analysis (ATH). These products are intended for designers looking to accurately size designs and quickly evaluate real world performance

• Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) is a different breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that helps mechanical design engineers analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer processes across a wide range of products and industries. FloEFD is based on the same mathematical foundation and numerical simulation in fluid dynamics as traditional CFD software, but 7 key technologies set FloEFD apart, making it quicker and easier to use, more robust, and more accurate. .
FloEFD is designed for use by engineers and is radically different from traditional CFD software in that it completely removes the complexities of numerical/mathematical schemes and computational mesh creation from the user, allowing engineers to focus on optimizing their designs in the shortest possible time. Also since FloEFD is embedded in CAD it uses 3D MCAD models directly – without the need for translation or data transfer. The FloEFD suite has been used in the design of various products from across a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial machinery and pumps/ valves.
