ANSYS 10.0 offers advances in performance, ease-of-use, interoperability, and coupled physics technology, such as fluid structure interaction (FSI). The latest release builds upon and is compatible with ANSYS 9.0 software. Designed to improve upon multi-physics technology, ANSYS 10.0 has capabilities for complex FSI problems. Designed to representing a complete FSI solution, it uses technologies in stress and fluid flow analysis. A single geometry is used for both, with meshing appropriate to the specific physics required. A high-speed protocol provides the communication necessary to perform dynamic FSI analysis.
