What Is Ansys Discovery?
Ansys Discovery is a 3D simulation platform that combines real-time GPU-accelerated analysis with high-fidelity solver validation in a single desktop environment — covering structural, fluid, thermal, and modal physics without switching tools. It includes two simulation modes: Explore Mode for instant visual feedback during geometry editing, and Refine Mode for production-grade results using Ansys Mechanical APDL and Fluent flagship solvers.
- Real-time simulation results update as geometry changes — no meshing delays
- High-fidelity Refine Mode with non-linear contacts, local mesh sizing, advanced boundary conditions
- Integrated SpaceClaim geometry tools — no external CAD application required
- Multi-physics coupling: structural, fluid, thermal, and modal in one environment
- Topology optimization, parameter studies, conjugate heat transfer, porous media modeling
- Runs standalone — no Ansys Workbench, Mechanical, or Fluent installation required

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ansys Discovery used for?
Ansys Discovery is used for early-stage product simulation and design validation. It evaluates structural strength, fluid flow, thermal performance, and modal behavior directly within the geometry modeling environment — enabling engineers to test and iterate designs without exporting to separate simulation tools.
Does Ansys Discovery require a dedicated GPU?
Yes. A dedicated GPU is required for all simulation stages. For Explore Mode, a dedicated NVIDIA GPU (Maxwell generation or newer, minimum 4 GB VRAM) is required. For Refine Mode, a dedicated NVIDIA or AMD GPU with OpenGL 4.6 support and minimum 4 GB VRAM is required. Integrated graphics (Intel HD/Iris) are not supported for simulation.
Does Ansys Discovery work without Ansys Workbench?
Yes. Ansys Discovery is a fully standalone desktop application. It does not require Ansys Workbench, Ansys Mechanical, Fluent, or any other Ansys product. All solvers and geometry tools are included within the Discovery installation.
Does Ansys Discovery work offline?
Yes. No internet connection is required after installation. No Ansys account is needed to run the software. All simulation, geometry, and reporting functions operate entirely on the local Windows machine.
What is the difference between Ansys Discovery and Ansys SpaceClaim?
SpaceClaim is a geometry-only tool for CAD editing, cleanup, and repair. Discovery adds real-time and high-fidelity simulation — structural, fluid, thermal, modal — on top of the same SpaceClaim geometry environment. If simulation is not needed, SpaceClaim is sufficient. If design validation is part of the workflow, Discovery provides both geometry and physics in one application.
What file formats does Ansys Discovery support?
Discovery imports STEP, IGES, Parasolid, and ACIS neutral formats, as well as native files from SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor, Creo, Siemens NX, and AutoCAD. STL and OBJ mesh formats are also supported.
What is Ansys Discovery Suite?
Ansys Discovery Suite is the product bundle that includes the complete Ansys Discovery platform — Explore Mode, Refine Mode, multi-physics solvers, topology optimization, and parameter studies — in a single installation package. The version available in this store is Ansys Discovery Suite 2025 R1.
