ANSYS 2019 Innovation user conference

On 22 May, TriVista staff attended the ANSYS 2019 Innovation conference held at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry. ANSYS detailed their current engineering simulation strategy and the latest (version 19.2) and future product release news covering Structures (Mechanical FEA), Fluids (CFD) and Low-Frequency Electromagnetics. It was also a good opportunity to listen to…

UK Ansys Innovation Conference May 2018

The annual UK Ansys Innovation Conference was held on 2-3 May 2018 at the UK Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry. ANSYS Inc presented their latest advanced engineering simulation strategy; new product release details; emerging capabilities in the CAE industry; comprehensive details of both Structural (Mechanical) product suite enhancements and fluids (CFD) product suite improvements at…

Ansys Discovery Live

In later 2017 Ansys announced a new product ‘Ansys Discovery Live’ offering the intriguing capability of instantaneous simulation coupled directly with geometry modification for an interactive ‘real time’ design evaluation that enabled swift product development. On hearing this news as experienced users, we were initially sceptical on the probable result accuracy of instant solutions based on…

Building ventilation and fire / smoke CFD analyses:

The recent Grenfell Tower fire tragedy has highlighted the importance of fire safety engineering in modern building design. TriVista has recently performed an interesting CFD analysis project predicting both internal building ventilation under specified operating conditions and also smoke contamination in a worst-case fire scenario. The ventilation section of this study had the objective of…

IMechE – Simulation and Modelling 2017 event

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) is hosting a Simulation and Modelling 2017 event from 12th-13th September in Birmingham. On looking over the agenda, this event looks very interesting covering the latest simulation techniques and insights with regards to computer aided and virtual engineering. Topics being presented include: advances being made in optimisation; the usage…

FE and CFD result 3D printed colour models:

TriVista’s engineers are very familiar with using the powerful graphical post-processing capabilities of ANSYS for both FE and CFD analysis results that assist in both identifying problem regions and providing a greater understanding of the product. These tools enable distributions and localised peaks to be readily visualised in 3D therefore enabling decisions to be made…
