Workshop on ANSYS Workbench

The Staff Development Committee of the Engineering Department organised an online workshop on “ANSYS Workbench” on 18 June 2020 from 10 to 11 am. Dr Sivananth Varatharajan, Lecturer (Engineering Department), delivered the presentation for the benefit of the staff members. He gave a general introduction about the Ansys software and its application to solve real time problems. His presentation mainly focused on the structural analysis of a simple supported beam to explore the software tools. The participants were trained to understand modelling using Design Modeler and the import options from other modelling software. He also explained about assigning material properties, meshing and boundary conditions to perform the simulation. The speaker concluded the presentation by comparing software and analytical results to highlight the software accuracy. The staff members felt that the presentation was very useful and effective.
