Heart to Heart
More than 300,000 Americans die from heart failure each year. Of these, up to 20 percent die while waiting for a heart donor. Artificial hearts have the potential to save many of these people. A new continuous-flow total artificial heart has been designed that is smaller and less complex than others. The new device is small enough to fit most adults and many teenagers — and has been designed using electromagnetic and fluid simulation.

Reliable Turbomachinery Blade Development with Aeromechanical Simulation
Engineers need advanced simulation tools to meet customer demands for more-efficient and reliable high-performance machines. They must accurately predict aerodynamic performance across an increasingly wide range of speeds and operating conditions, and they also must guarantee the reliability of the design. This video demonstrates a complete ANSYS workflow to help engineers design reliable turbomachinery blading.

Workshops
Design Exploration on a Desktop Waterloo, Canada and Houston, U.S.A. These hands-on half-day workshops shows engineers how to design better products, how to not over-engineer and how to get more out of their engineering analysis toolset. Space is limited.

Seminars
Every month ANSYS sponsors a wide range of seminars around the world.

Systems Engineering for Smart Products
In nearly every industry, consumers are benefiting from the evolution of smart products. Engineering these systems into a commercially viable product is far from trivial as Todd McDevitt explains in this blog post.

Understanding Hardware Selection for ANSYS 15.0 Webinar
March 25 at 9 a.m. EDT
March 27 at 4 p.m. EDT
Learn how to get the most out of your simulation software investment by configuring your hardware for structural mechanics and fluid dynamics applications and licensing scenarios. Presenters from HP and ANSYS will deliver ANSYS 15.0 benchmark data that will guide you in your own selection. The focus will be on desktop hardware through workstation clusters and will include recommendations on when to select graphics processing units (GPUs).
