Key Features

Enterprise SPDM software with everything you need to improve productivity and make informed decisions about product development.

Data Management

Ansys Minerva provides state-of-the-art data management to streamline the CAE user experience, enabling you to search, visualize and reuse important data across your organization.

The easy-to-use data management interface allows you to efficiently manage the rich data produced by your simulation activities. With Ansys Minerva, you will be able to visualize and keep track of all your simulation data by leveraging state-of-the-art Configuration Management capabilities such as Version control and Lifecycles, Release Management, Branching, Workflows, Comparisons and Digital Thread Graphs, all of which are entirely configurable to fit your specific business needs.

Process Management

It takes teamwork to bring exceptional products to market. With Ansys Minerva, simulation analysts and project managers can easily assign, own and perform end-to-end process management for staying organized, making better decisions and avoiding unnecessary administrative tasks, saving you valuable engineering time.

Quickly glean insights that can guide your organizational decision-making, thanks to configurable, role-based Dashboards that provide the status of work-in-progress, key metrics, assignments and much more. Organize your engineering activities with unique capabilities like Tasks, Work Requests and Projects; ease collaboration across teams with Notification and Discussions, and provide stakeholders with a clear vision of inputs and outputs so everyone stays up to date.

HPC Job Submission

Ansys Minerva offers automatic data collection and hybrid deployment possibilities to make jobs easier.

With Ansys Minerva, you can save time and effort by submitting jobs to high-performance computing (HPC) on-premises or Cloud resources, monitoring their progress remotely and automating data collection back to the system. Ansys Minerva is configurable with standard schedulers and supports hybrid deployment on-premises and in the cloud. Continue to use your preferred applications and let Ansys Minerva manage the data flow and the traceability for you.

Dashboards & Reports

Make informed decisions by easily and graphically visualizing relevant information in real time through role-based dashboards and reports.

Product teams rely on real-time information to stay aware of the current state of their projects and effectively prioritize their work. Positioned at the center of the engineering process, the project manager must estimate, inspect, and monitor progress. Similarly, engineers work to achieve assigned milestones and keep projects moving on-time and on-budget. As the volume of complex projects continually expands, the management of simulation projects becomes a major challenge, with higher incurred cost.

Ansys Minerva takes the guesswork out of project management. By bringing all projects into one view, project managers can seamlessly re-prioritize tasks and adapt to changes in real time. Extraneous meetings and email communications are eliminated, granting work teams additional productive time, and greatly reducing the risk of duplicated efforts, missed deadlines, and team frustration. Project managers and engineers can work together smarter and deliver the next big innovation.

Enterprise Deployment

Scale simulation to the entire enterprise by closing the simulation expertise gap

Ansys Minerva facilitates building web apps to capture automated processes and deploy specific simulation apps across an organization. Simulation experts can create and upload simulation automations to Ansys Minerva. Tool engineers and admins can use Minerva to convert these automations into apps, which can in turn be used by anyone who has permission within the organization.
