Ansys OptiSLang

Platforms

Ansys optiSLang® a process integration and design optimization software, recognized for its powerful capabilities within process automation, optimization and robust evaluation algorithms. It includes various tools for sensitivity analysis, design exploration and optimization including surrogate modelling, response surface modelling and evolutionary algorithms.

Automate repetitive multi‑physics simulation workflows across CAD, solvers and scripts.
Run parametric design studies, DOE and metamodel‑based optimisation at scale.
Quantify uncertainty and reliability to deliver more robust designs with fewer prototypes.
Deploy web apps so non‑experts can safely run approved optiSLang workflows

Process Integration and Design Optimization

Simulation processes often involve many manual steps, such as updating spreadsheets, copying files and running scripts, which introduce errors and slow projects. Ansys optiSLang® minimises these risks by orchestrating complete workflows – from CAD and meshing through to solvers and post‑processing that can run locally, on clusters or in the cloud.

Ansys optiSlang® also offers powerful design exploration and sensitivity analysis, enabling engineers to understand the most critical aspects of their designs. The surrogate modelling approach is unique and provides an easy way to evaluate the quality of the model. These techniques put optimization and robustness evaluation in the hands of the user.

Engineers can integrate Ansys Mechanical, Fluent, Electronics tools and in‑house codes in a single, parameterised workflow, then publish that workflow on a web server so wider teams can run pre‑defined studies through a simple interface.

Key Features

Overall, Ansys optiSLang® is a powerful tool that can help engineers optimize the performance of their systems, reduce design costs, and improve efficiency.

Benefits

Improve Performance and Efficiency

Ansys optiSLang® helps engineers find higher‑performing design configurations that satisfy multi‑physics constraints while reducing energy use, mass or cost.

Less Warranty Complaints

Robust evaluation exposes how tolerances, material variation and operating conditions affect failure risk so you can prioritise the parameters that matter most and avoid field issues

Reduced Manual Time Required

By automating end‑to‑end workflows and multi‑run studies, optiSLang® cuts manual effort in the design loop, reduces physical prototypes and shortens overall development time.

Enhanced collaboration and reuse of best practices

Ansys optiSLang® enables experts to package robust workflows as reusable templates and web apps, so wider teams can run consistent optimisation and robustness studies without needing deep simulation expertise.

Better decision-making with data-driven insight

By combining sensitivity analysis, design of experiments and metamodel-based optimisation, optiSLang® provides clear, quantitative insight into trade-offs between performance, cost and risk, supporting faster, evidence-based design decisions.

I have been working with Ansys CFD over the past 20 years and followed the development of the tools we use on a daily basis. My focus has been mainly on CFX and Fluent and the different flavors of tools in the Ansys portfolio for pre- and post processing.

Over the years the focus has shifted from working primarily in the support team to the presales team, supporting the sales process. The sales process is also developing rapidly and instead of purely focusing on specific tools I promote the full portfolio of products that we utilize to assist the whole product development process.
