Earlier this year, we introduced ANSYS AIM, the first integrated and comprehensive multiphysics simulation environment designed for all engineers. Check out Richard Clegg’s recent blog post for an overview.
Since then, we’ve been applying AIM to a wide range of industrial applications, including the medical device industry, where AIM provides a modern, easy-to-use tool for a variety of applications.
Better designs through automation
Guided workflows make it easy to evaluate structural performance for devices such as hip implants. Simply select the Structural template, choose your geometry model, and follow the path laid out for you. The guided workflow allows for easy definition of loads and materials. With AIM’s automated meshing and built-in parallel computing capabilities, you can get valuable, accurate stress results in under 5 minutes.
Customization capabilities make it possible to streamline the process even further. Because AIM is based on the ANSYS Workbench platform, you can use powerful Python scripting and easy-to-create XML templates to define custom processes. With only minimal inputs, users of a custom process can go from geometry to final results in just minutes.
Realistic solutions for real people
Of course, every person is different, and devices and treatments tuned for each individual yield better patient outcomes. AIM’s support for patient-specific geometry and proven simulation technologies enable you to accurately predict how a treatment will impact a specific individual.
Comprehensive multiphysics for the real world
Biomedical products and processes are often impacted by multiple physical phenomena: heat, stress, flow of fluids such as blood and air, and more. AIM makes multiphysics simulation a breeze by providing a single, highly-integrated environment for multiple physics, whether you are considering them independently or together. This enables you to accurately predict things like deformation in arteries due to blood flow around implanted devices.
