connected with the making, or the provision, of a copy of the Software must not exceed the reasonable costs
incurred by the Distributor in making the reproduction, or in the provision, of that copy for which the fee
is charged.
4.4. Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement, nothing in this agreement permits the reproduction of
any part of the Software by, or on behalf of:

of the Software is an old version of the Software and that a more recent version of the Software is available
from the Site.
5. COPYRIGHT AND NO LITIGATION
5.1. Copyright subsists in the Software and is protected by Australian and international copyright laws.
5.2. Nothing in this agreement gives Distributor any rights in respect of any Intellectual Rights in respect of

to
criminal prosecution.
5.4. Distributor must not commence any action against any person alleging that the Software or the use or
distribution of the Software infringes any rights, including Intellectual Rights of the Distributor or of any other
person. If Distributor provides one or more copies of the Software to any other person in accordance with
the agreement, Distributor waives all rights it has, or may have in the future, to bring any action, directly or

5.4.
6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
6.1. To the extent permitted by law, all implied terms and conditions are excluded from this agreement. Where
a term or condition is implied into this agreement and that term cannot be legally excluded, that term has
effect as a term or condition of this agreement. However, to the extent permitted by law, the liability
of POV for a breach of such an implied term or condition is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
6.2. To the extent permitted by law, this Software is provided on an "AS IS" basis, without warranty of any

particular purpose and non-infringement of intellectual property of any third party. The Software has inherent
limitations including design faults and programming bugs.
6.3. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Software is borne by Distributor, and it is

manner (other than testing it for the purposes of this paragraph in a non-critical and non-production
environment), and prior to distributing it in any fashion.
6.4. This clause 6 is an essential and material term of, and cannot be severed from, this agreement. If
Distributor does not or cannot agree to be bound by this clause, or if it is unenforceable, then Distributor
must not, at any time, make any reproductions of the Software under this agreement and this agreement
gives the
Distributor no rights to make any reproductions of any part of the Software.
7. NO LIABILITY
7.1. When you distribute or use the Software you acknowledge and accept that you do so at your sole risk.
Distributor agrees that under no circumstances will it have any claim against POV or any POV Associate for
any loss, damages, harm, injury, expense, work stoppage, loss of business information, business interruption,
computer failure or malfunction which may be suffered by you or by any third party from any cause whatsoever,
howsoever arising, in connection with your use or distribution of the Software even where POV was aware,
or ought to have been aware, of the potential of such loss.
7.2. Neither POV nor any POV Associate has any liability to Distributor for any indirect, general, special,
incidental, punitive and/or consequential damages arising as a result of a breach of this agreement by POV
or which arises in any way related to the Software or the exercise of a licence granted to Distributor under
this
agreement.
7.3. POV's total aggregate liability to the Distributor for all loss or damage arising in any way related to this
agreement is limited to the lesser of: (a) AU$100, and (b) the amount received by POV from Distributor as
payment for the grant of a licence under this agreement.
7.4. Distributor must bring any action against POV in any way related to this agreement or the Software within
3 months of the cause of action first arising. Distributor waives any right it has to bring any action against
POV and releases POV from all liability in respect of a cause of action if initiating process in relation to that
action is not served on POV within 3 months of the cause of action arising. Where a particular set of facts
give rise to more than one cause of action this clause 7.4 applies as if all such causes of action arise at the
time the first such cause of action arises.

Australia, for the product known as the "Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer", also referred to herein as 'POV-Ray'.
YOUR ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND NO LIABILITY
AND INDEMNITY PROVISIONS. TO USE THE PERSISTENCE OF VISION RAY TRACER ("POV-RAY")
YOU MUST AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS DOCUMENT.

GOVERNS THE USE OF
POV-RAY WORLDWIDE. THIS DOCUMENT SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES ALL PREVIOUS GENERAL
LICENSES.
INTRODUCTION
This document pertains to the use of the Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (also known as POV-Ray). It
applies to all POV-Ray program source files, executable (binary) files, scene files, documentation files, help
files, bitmaps and other POV-Ray files contained in official Company archives, whether in full or any part
thereof, and are herein referred to as the "Software". The Company reserves the right to revise these rules
in future versions and to make additional rules to address new circumstances at any time. Such rules, when
made, will be posted in a revised license file, the latest version of which is available from the Company
website at
http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html.
USAGE PROVISIONS
Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, permission is granted to the User to use the Software
and its associated files to create and render images. The creator of a scene file retains all rights to any scene
files they create, and any images generated by the Software from them. Subject to the other terms of this
license, the User is permitted to use the Software in a profit-making enterprise, provided such profit arises
primarily from use of the Software and not from distribution of the Software or a work including the Software
in whole or part.
Please refer to http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html for licenses covering distribution of the Software and
works including the Software. The User is also granted the right to use the scene files, fonts, bitmaps, and
include files distributed in the INCLUDE and SCENES\INCDEMO sub-directories of the Software in their own
scenes. Such permission does not extend to any other files in the SCENES directory or its sub-directories.
The SCENES files are for the User's enjoyment and education but may not be the basis of any derivative
works unless the file in question explicitly grants permission to do such.
This licence does not grant any right of re-distribution or use in any manner other than the above. The
Company has separate license documents that apply to other uses (such as re-distribution via the internet
or on CD) ; please visit http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html for links to these. In particular you are advised
that the sale, lease, or rental of the Software in any form without written authority from the Company is
explicitly prohibited. Notwithstanding anything in the balance of this licence agreement, nothing in this licence
agreement permits the installation or use of the Software in conjunction with any product (including software)

Chapter 1: ANSYS Discovery Live 2020 R1 Enhancements

Overview

ANSYS Discovery Live provides instantaneous simulation, tightly coupled with direct geometry modeling, to enable
interactive design exploration and rapid product innovation. It is an interactive experience in which you can
manipulate geometry, materials and physics, and instantaneously see 3-D results.
New capabilities in ANSYS Discovery Live 2020 R1 include:
• Physics simulation with thin structures - Significantly improved solving of thin geometries. New memory
efficient discretization approach enables simulation of thinner parts and the use of GPUs with less dedicated
memory.

 Physics simulation with thin structures

Chapter 2: Physics simulation with thin structures

Discovery Live now uses GPU memory much more efficiently, resulting in significantly better capture of thing
geometric features compared to the previous release. The improvement is largest for structures that are very
sparse (very little material within a bounding box around the part). The benefit applies equally to all physics types,
although many fluid applications tend to be dense and may benefit only a little. Due to the increased efficiently,
reasonable results may now be possible with GPUs containing less dedicated memory than before.

Please note that when running at maximum fidelity, it is recommended to only use one instance of Discovery Live
at a time, as all running Discovery Live applications share GPU memory.

Beta Software Information

Disclaimer
• Once enabled, beta features may remain active after they have been disabled, even if the text and graphical
interfaces for these features are no longer visible. ANSYS, Inc. recommends that you save a separate copy of
the project before activating any beta feature so that you can return to the project with only released features.
• Beta features have not been fully tested and validated.
• ANSYS, Inc. may, at its discretion, fully release, change, or withdraw beta features in future revisions. It makes
no commitment to doing so on any particular schedule.
• ANSYS, Inc. makes no commitment to resolve defects reported against beta features; however, your feedback
will help us improve the quality of the product.
• Beta features are not subject to the ANSYS Class 3 error reporting system.
• ANSYS, Inc. does not guarantee that input files used with beta features will run successfully from version to
version of the software, nor with the final released version of the feature(s). You may need to modify the input
files before running them on other versions.
• Use Live Options>Advanced>Enable beta features to enable beta features.
Graphical display of “poorly resolved regions” using distance calculation from the original geometry to physics
discretization is now available as a Beta feature.
This display is used to highlight the discrepancies between geometry and physics discretization.

 Steady State

Chapter 4: Steady State

The time dependence of the flow characteristics can be steady-state or transient. Many practical flows can be
assumed to be steady after initial unsteady flow development, for example, after the start up of a rotating machine.
Transient simulations require real time information to determine the time intervals at which the solver calculates
the flow field. Transient behavior can be caused by the initially changing boundary conditions of the flow, as in
start up, or it can be inherently related to the flow characteristics, so that a steady-state condition is never reached,
even when all other aspects of the flow conditions are unchanging.

 External Study Import

Chapter 6: External Study Import

The new External Study Importer ACT extension assists the designer-to-analyst workflow by allowing full problem
definitions from designer simulation tools, such as Discovery Live and Autodesk Fusion 360, to be read into ANSYS
Mechanical. The resulting Mechanical simulation systems include the full definition of geometry, materials, loads,
and constraints that are contained in the source simulation, and may be subsequently executed or enhanced within
Mechanical.

Chapter 7: Discovery Live Help

Help Implementation Options

You have two options for viewing ANSYS documentation. ANSYS Internet Help is the default and recommended
option:

If you do not have Internet access, or if you would like a local copy of the documentation on your system, you can
download an installable version of the documentation (ANSYS Local Help) from the Customer Portal at this location:
ANSYS customer site (www.ansys.com/customercommunity).
The image below illustrates the ANSYS Local Help after it has been installed and configured.

Configuring ANSYS Local Help

After installing the documentation, use the ANSYS Help Configuration Tool to point to the local installation. Access
the tool in either of these ways:
• From the Start menu: Start > ANSYS 2020 R1 > ANSYS Help Configuration 2020 R1
• By launching the tool directly from its location in the product installation folder, which will be similar to:\ANSYS
Inc\<ansys-version>\commonfiles\help\HelpViewer\ANSYSHelpConfigurationTool.exe

Note: In all cases the presence of a CHM takes precedence over the ANSYS Internet Help and ANSYS Local
Help (for example, if you are using a CHM as described in “Obtaining Translated Versions of 2020 R1 Help”).

Obtaining Translated Versions of 2020 R1 Help

We expect the translated versions of the 2020 R1 help to be available by April 2020. When you access the online
version of the help, the help calls will redirect to the appropriate translated version automatically once it is published
online. If you do not have Internet access and need to download a local help package instead, we expect the
translated packages to be available on the Customer Portal and Discovery Forum by April. If you are unable to
access those sites, contact your ANSYS Support Representative for assistance at that time.
If you need access to a translated version of the help before the 2020 R1 versions are published, you can obtain
the 2019 R1 versions of the translated local help packages in CHM form on the Customer Portal or the Discovery
Forum, or via your ANSYS Support Representative.
The image below illustrates the help in CHM form.
