ANSYS DesignXplorer
The ANSYS DesignXplorer solution works from within the ANSYS Workbench interface to perform Design of Experiments (DOE) analyses of any ANSYS Workbench simulation, including those with CAD parameters. Although it requires more analyses to be performed and is typically slower than Variational Technology, which is now also a part of ANSYS DesignXplorer, DOE is not limited in the types of analyses that can be used with it. In fact, ANSYS DesignXplorer software can be used with ANSYS® Parametric Design LanguageTM (APDL)-based files to perform DOE on existing or new ANSYS analyses. ANSYS DesignXplorer allows you to perform optimization and Design for Six Sigma with any application or sequence of applications, including in-house codes, by using the third-party plug-in.

Design of Experiments

ANSYS DesignXplorer has a powerful suite of DOE tools. Automatic Design Points can be generated two ways, Central Composite Design (CCD) or Optimal Space-Filling. CCD provides a traditional DOE sampling set, while Optimal Space-Filling’s objective is to gain the maximum insight with the fewest number of points. After sampling, ANSYS DesignXplorer provides four different meta-models to represent the simulations responses; Full Second-Order Polynomial, Kriging, Non-Parametric Regression and Neural Network. Kriging has two variants, pure Kriging and Radial Basis Function. These meta-models can accurately represent highly nonlinear responses. Once you have the simulation’s responses characterized, ANSYS DesignXplorer supplies three different types of optimization algorithms
