In the area of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI), Grantec Engineering Consultants inc. employs Multiphysics software from ANSYS Inc.

The ANSYS Multiphysics code is a high-end state-of-the-art coupled physics tool combining structural, thermal, CFD, and acoustic simulation capabilities. Grantec's perpetual ANSYS license, includes
  • ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise FEA
  • ANSYS CFX (CFD)
  • ANSYS Fluent (CFD)
  • ANSYS AQWA (Hydrodynamics)
  • ANSYS WorkBench
  • ANSYS DesignModeler
  • ANSYS SpaceClaim
  • ANSYS Geometry Interface for SolidWorks
  • ANSYS High Performance Computing (HPC)

Some of advanced capabilities of the ANSYS Multiphysics code employed at Grantec include:

  • Fully coupled Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI), dynamic and transient
  • Fluid dynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
  • Advanced turbulence models
  • Multiphase flow analysis
  • Hydrodynamic Analysis
  • Aerodynamic Analysis
  • Thermal analysis
  • Heat Transfer Analysis
  • HVAC Analysis
  • Acoustics
  • extensive element library including linear and nonlinear elements
  • dynamic analysis including nonlinear with implicit solvers
  • nonlinear analysis including large strain
  • Wave mechanics including Linear, Stoke's and Dean's formulations
  • Wave Spectra (Jonswap, Pierson Moskowitz)
  • Diffraction analysis
  • Immersed pipe and cable dynamics (including submerged systems such as moorings, towed bodies and marine risers)

The ANSYS Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) solution is considered to be the most advanced and flexible coupled structural-fluid physics tool currently available.
