New version of FENSAP-ICE

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Aerospace engineers who analyze aircraft icing can take immediate advantage of the comprehensive state-of-the-art capabilities with FENSAP-ICE and FENSAP-ICE Turbo. The new release – the first since ANSYS acquired this technology – provides improved integration with ANSYS CFX software, its turbomachinery fluid dynamics simulation software. The enhanced integration enables users to take advantage of the unique capabilities of FENSAP-ICE and FENSAP-ICE TURBO to optimize designs and improve safety by more accurately predicting ice formation in jet engines.

 

The new release adds numerous enhancements for users of these two systems, enabling them to predict in-flight icing for aircraft, engines, probes, and components more efficiently and accurately. The FENSAP product family incorporates speed-up and efficiency gains, enabling the user to incorporate icing prediction in their simulation-driven product development processes.

 

"The new release delivers streamlined import and export of required data for more efficient and accurate exchange between the FENSAP products and ANSYS computational fluid dynamics solutions," said Andre Bakker, senior director of fluids business unit, ANSYS. "Maximizing the accuracy of icing simulation ensures that the engineering insight gained from analysis and the resulting design decisions made truly serve to improve flight safety."

 

The FENSAP release also includes a number of enhancements and extensions that further efficiency, including more flexible meshing options, faster solution algorithms, direct extraction of key simulation results, and more powerful post-processing. These contribute to reducing the time and effort required to investigate and solve complex questions associated with icing.
