Simulation Introduction Sessions

Engineering simulations play a vital role in the design and development of innovative products. It helps to provide valuable solutions by giving clear insights into complex systems. In these Technology Day Sessions, we will learn about engineering simulations using the world class Ansys simulation software and use it to analyze various engineering problems. 

We will begin by introducing Ansys Mechanical and Ansys Fluent and learning the basics of setting up different types of simulations. We will then move on to simulating wide range of industry specific applications pertaining to Aerospace, Automotive, Healthcare, Industrial Equipments, and Consumer Goods.

In this session we will introduce industry specific applications from the automotive industry and how Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to ensure safe and optimized design of different subsystems. We begin with a stress analysis of an engine connecting rod to determine the location and magnitude of the highest stress. Following that, we perform a similar stress analysis of a brake pad. Then we demonstrate how bolted joints are modeled in an axle assembly. In addition to these stress analyses, we perform thermal analysis of a gasket to find the temperature distribution over it. We end the session by performing a thermal analysis to determine the most optimized and efficient design for the fins of an air-cooled engine.

In this session we will introduce industry specific applications from the automotive industry and how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to solve problems and optimize subsystems. We will begin our discussion with the analysis of external aerodynamics of a concept car. Then we will use the power of computational fluid dynamics to uncover the role of streamlining in high speed rail transport. We will wrap up by looking at an example that deals with how we can use CFD to analyze internal sub-systems such as an IC engine exhaust manifold.

In this session we will introduce industry specific applications from the aerospace industry and how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to solve problems and optimize subsystems. We will begin our discussion with the analysis of flow over an aircraft wing. Then, we will use switch gears and understand how aircraft engines generate thrust by analyzing the flow through a converging nozzle. We will then discuss regarding high-lift devices by studying the flow over a multi-element airfoil. Finally, we will wrap up by looking at an example to understand the physics of high speed airflow over an aircraft wing section which is significantly influenced by the compressible nature of air.

In this session we will introduce industry specific applications from the consumer goods industry and how Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to perform stress analysis to ensure safe and ergonomic design of different consumer products. We perform stress analysis on two types of shoes, one with an air-filled based and another whose base has an auxetic design. We then analyze a bike frame and a bike crank to determine the stress distribution under various loading conditions. Finally, we perform a nonlinear simulation of interlocking of a snap-fit buckle.
