Course Overview

The Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations programme is problem-based, and candidates will learn by doing. They will be using a powerful and versatile tool from ANSYS, Inc. to perform engineering simulations. They will be using a common approach to solve problems that involve different branches of Physics (structural mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics). The programme focuses on moving beyond garbage-in, and garbage-out, and understanding what is under the black-box.

Learners will be solving textbook examples to understand the fundamentals of computational fluid dynamics and finite-element analysis. They will then put these principles into practice and simulate real-world examples (a wind turbine rotor and a bolted rocket assembly).

By working with real-world examples and using a leading simulation tool used by professionals, the Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations training will help learners move beyond button pushing and encourage them to start thinking like experts. Cornell University developed the Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations online course in collaboration with the ANSYS Corporation. Therefore, all learners will be able to download and use ANSYS Student for free.

Learners may enroll in the self-paced course for free or pay a small amount. If they want to learn the course for free they may opt for the audit track where limited access is given. On the other hand, if they want unlimited course access they may get admission using the verified track for which they may have to pay a small amount.
