Ansys Discovery 2025 R1 brings exciting new capabilities for structural physics, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency in simulation workflows. With a focus on improved solver performance, expanded material modeling, and intuitive design exploration tools, this release empowers engineers to accelerate product development without compromising precision. Whether you're performing rapid concept evaluations or detailed structural analyses, the latest updates streamline the process, making simulation more accessible and powerful than ever. In this blog, we’ll explore the key enhancements in Discovery 2025 R1 and how they can elevate your structural simulations.
Ansys Discovery 2025 R1 introduces powerful new features for structural physics, including the ability to create beams from scratch using standard cross-sections and sizes, enabling greater flexibility in model definition. Users can now build custom beam libraries, organizing beams efficiently and applying filters for quick and easy assignment, streamlining the design process and improving workflow efficiency
Building on these advancements, Ansys Discovery 2025 R1 further enhances modeling flexibility with an upgraded Extend tool that now enables the creation of new bodies while extending, automatically positioning them at the closest distance between two surfaces within a designated “WeldSurface” component. Additionally, the Split tool now allows beams to be split precisely when abutting other beams, making structural modifications more intuitive and efficient.
To further refine the modeling experience, the Share Topology tool no longer searches assemblies by default, reducing unnecessary processing. A new preview option now allows users to visualize sharing before execution, enabling better control and the ability to adjust settings prior to running the operation.
A new HUD tool guide simplifies the definition of remote points by allowing users to select a point, edge, face, or body to determine the remote point location. The centroid of the chosen geometry automatically sets the remote point, improving workflow efficiency for applying remote force, remote mass, and remote displacement conditions.
Reaction resultants are now available for remote displacements, enabling users to review static equilibrium in structural models. This enhancement provides deeper insight into force and moment balance, improving confidence in simulation results and ensuring greater accuracy in analysis.
