ABSTRACT

Engineering simulation is very important as it allows engineers to evaluate, optimize, and compare product designs by modeling real-world trials in a computer-generated environment. Simulation software can build a sophisticated model for any engineering problem which is governed by one or more equations. By exploring the models constructed, any needed observation can be done and how the model and system interact, thus predicting performance, flaws, stresses, and product lifespan. Furthermore, simulation practices are less expensive than real-life experimentation and trials as the simulation tools allow testing of any theories and avoid costly mistakes in experimental work.

Ansys software is one of the most famous and powerful commercial software. ANSYS includes many engineering software packages that cover most of the engineering disciplines.  One can say that Ansys modules span the entire range of physics, providing access to virtually any field of engineering simulation.

In this training firstly,  a brief overview of widely used simulation software tools generally.  Secondly, a brief show of the potentials of the ANSYS workbench specifically. Finally,  a demo model will be built to give a general demonstration, and an introduction to Ansys DesignModeler, ANSYS meshing tools, and Fluent.
