Unleashing the power of GPUs with ANSYS

ANSYS Discovery Live, a technology exclusively using NVIDIA GPUs, provides engineers instant, invaluable feedback resulting in designs that are fully optimized and better understood than previously possible. Rather than requiring designers consume time with non-value added tasks, they can turn the design process into an interactive, educational experience. The marrying of simulation technology with the technological advances of NVIDIA graphics are fundamentally changing the way products are designed and developed. The possibilities are endless with the pairing of ANSYS’ tools and NVIDIA GPU technology. In this webinar you will see live demonstrations, learn from a current Discovery Live customer and their use case, and better understand the many ways designers are using this technology to design better products in a shorter amount of time.
