Train the Trainer

Engineering is a blend of mathematical equations and physical intuition. While the traditional classroom experience teaches us the former, it lacks the tools to help visualize the underlying physics. Ansys Train the Trainer program provides courses which consist of both theoretical lectures and simulation examples. The theoretical lectures explain the underlying physics and the equations used to represent physical phenomena, so that using a finite element software is no longer akin to pressing buttons on a blackbox. At the same time, the simulation examples allow visualization of various fields in case of complex real-life problems. This helps us understand the theoretical concepts better and allows us to develop physical intuition. There are also additional industry-specific workshops, which provide the starting simulation files and step-by-step instructions, for honing your simulation skills further.

This course offers an introduction to fluid dynamics. It answers the question "what are fluids?" by examining the physical properties of fluids (versus solids and gases) and defining the many types of fluid flows.

Stress analysis is an important part of the workflow when designing components in civil, mechanical, aerospace and many other industries. In this course, we discuss the importance and applications of stress analysis. We also introduce stress in tensor format first, followed by how and why the stress tensor is transformed to principal stress and equivalent stress. Equipped with a good theoretical understanding of stress, we then demonstrate how to perform a simple stress analysis in Ansys Mechanical software and share tips and tricks to improve your productivity when using this software.

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.
