ANSYS (CAE)

Course Overview

Studio-grade ANSYS training for mechanical, structural, and thermal engineers. Project-based workflows, simulation setup, meshing strategies, multiphysics coupling, and one-on-one mentorship to produce validated, manufacturing-ready simulation reports and design insights.

Why This Course

Turn simulation from a black box into a reliable design tool. This course teaches reproducible ANSYS workflows used in engineering teams: correct physics selection, mesh control, boundary condition setup, result interpretation, and validation. Emphasis is on practical model setup, convergence discipline, and producing actionable reports that inform design and manufacturing decisions. You'll graduate able to run credible studies, avoid common pitfalls, and communicate simulation results to stakeholders.
