Objectives

With advent of digital technology, more and more industries are adopting modern Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) processes for product design. They need engineers with skills who can create complex Computer Aided Design (CAD) and develop Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and analyze the product that are light weight and functionally efficient. However, the outdated academic curriculum doesn't provide sufficient training on today’s increasingly complex and multidisciplinary product design processes. With the advent of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning (read here) etc, these CAD and CFD skills would come handy in generating accurate data where there is no history of experimental data. Further, in the age of high demand of professionals from industries with multiple skills, this course will boost the confidence and skills to meet the real world product design challenges. Additionally, training will be provided on technical writing, English language; high quality figure generation, curve fitting, how to use numerical results for quality publications etc. No such courses/training programs are offered that provides skill based training on both the world of instisive CAD, CFD and Drafting. This training program is much more than education where participants will gain practical global competence to meet today's intense industry demand. Ansys Workbench (SpaceClaim, Meshing and Fluent) will be used along with the theoretical background during the entire project-based training program. Apart from this, special topics such as developing 3D CAD from 2D camera images and then developing CFD models will also be covered. Industries use this technique regularly for reverse engineering and study competetors products. Keeping this in mind, following are objectives of this two-week online course:
  • To bridge the skill gap between theoretical academic teaching and practical industrial needs.
  • To provide training on multidisciplinary skills that spans from theory, CAD and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using Ansys Workbench: Mechanical and Fluent.
  • To execute projects and train the participants on technical research paper writing.
