Discovery Bundle Feature Comparison

The document compares the feature support across three tiers of ANSYS Discovery software: Essentials, Standard, and Ultimate. It shows which analysis types, design tools, manufacturing capabilities, and interfaces are fully supported, have limited capabilities, or require additional products in each tier. Overall, the Standard and Ultimate tiers provide full support for more features compared to the Essentials tier, including areas like nonlinear contact, topology optimization, compressible flow, radiation, AC analysis, and additional multiphysics couplings.
