A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations
In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to perform engineering simulations using a powerful tool from Ansys, Inc. This is a problem-based course where you'll learn by doing. The focus will be on understanding what's under the blackbox so as to move beyond garbage-in, garbage-out. You'll practice using a common solution approach to problems involving different physics: structural mechanics, fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
We'll solve textbook examples to understand the fundamental principles of finite-element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. Then we'll apply these principles to simulate real-world examples in the tool including a bolted rocket assembly and a wind turbine rotor.We'll discuss current industry practices with a SpaceX engineer. By working through examples in a leading simulation tool that professionals use, you'll learn to move beyond button pushing and start thinking like an expert.
This course teaches fundamental concepts and tool use in an integrated fashion using the power of online learning. All learners will have access to a free download of Ansys Student.
Join us to discover why simulations have changed how engineering is done and how you can be a part of this revolution.

both finite element analyses
This course provides an ideal approach to engineering simulations: both Finite Element Analyses (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
ways 3 courses rolled
This introduction to computational engineering simulation is in many ways 3 courses rolled into one: an introduction to the problem-solving steps engineers use to model physical systems, including the steps before and after the simulation; an overview of finite-element analysis and the finite-volume method, including brief but meaningful summaries of structural and fluid mechanics; and the "hands-on" part, where Prof. Bhaskaran teaches you how to use ANSYS to solve engineering problems.
core modules covering heat
There are 4 core modules covering heat conduction, solid mechanics (a bicycle crank and a rocket nozzle flange), and computational fluid dynamics.
homework assignments require understanding
The in-lecture questions and homework assignments require understanding of the concepts and facility with the ANSYS tool, but are not difficult.

anyone who likes playing
Obviously this course is ideally suited to engineers in training or those who haven't used FEA or CFD, but anyone who likes playing with cool tools that plumb the physics of mechanical and fluid systems and turn their behavior into dazzling images will have a blast.

segment are interesting comments
Supplementing the instructional videos in the flange segment are interesting comments and perspectives from a mechanical engineer who uses ANSYS to design rockets.

great thing about
But the great thing about this course is how it teaches you not only how to work the tool, but how the tool works.
