Prerequisites

MORe uses finite element models from ANSYS Mechanical. Therefore a working installation of ANSYS Mechanical is required (ANSYS version 16 or later). The required license is

  • for mechanical-only use of MORe: ANSYS Mechanical Pro and for

  • thermo-mechanical use of MORe: ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise.

Restrictions on ANSYS models:

  • shell elements are not supported for thermo-mechanical simulations

  • lumped inertia is not supported for thermo-mechanical simulations

For the optional MATLAB toolbox and Simulink library, MATLAB and Simulink are required (MATLAB version 2017b or later).
