The most advanced, comprehensive and reputable finite element analysis and design software available for the Civil Engineering Projects.
The system combines the state-of-the art general purpose structural analysis features of ANSYS (ISO-9001) with high-end, civil engineering-specific structural analysis capabilities of Civil, making it a unique and powerful tool for a wide range of civil engineering projects (such as powerplants, bridges, tunnels, singular buildings, offshore structures, etc).
As both programs are completely integrated, Civil supports all types of advanced analysis supported by ANSYS (dynamic, static, linear and non-linear), running as a unique software.
Civil has a modular design composed by a general product called Civil INTRO and by specialized modules relating to specific civil engineering needs such as the Bridges and Civil Nonlinearities module, the Advanced Prestressed Concrete module and the Geotechnical module that can be optionally added to Civil INTRO.
Civil Multidiscipline includes all the specialized modules developed for Civil (INTRO, Geotechnical, Bridges and Civil Non-linearities, and Advanced Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Modules), providing users with a complete solution that will suit all their civil engineering needs.
Civil Multidiscipline Nuclear Power Plant (NPP): All advanced capabilities of Civil applied to nuclear analysis.
Any of these solutions work as an “add-on” with ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise.
