Ansys Course Completion: Fundamentals of Mechanical Design and Analysis Using Ansys Discovery

Issued by Ansys

Earners of this designation have successfully completed "Engineering Simulation for Mechanical Design and Analysis" at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College. This course emphasizes the practical application of state-of-the-art engineering simulation tools and techniques using Ansys Discovery. Students create virtual prototypes and conduct fluid flow, heat transfer, and structural analyses in Ansys Discovery to predict mechanical performance and investigate "what if" scenarios.

Earning Criteria

  • Concepts introduced in classroom lectures and demos are reinforced through selected hands-on simulation exercises. Students apply what they learn and gain further experience using commercial software by completing an engineering simulation team project of their choice.
  • Successfully complete the course with a C- grade or higher.
  • Students must work in a team to propose and complete a project under expert guidance to pass the course. The project should demonstrate their understanding of the material and be completed within the timeframe. The instructors will evaluate the quality of work, collaboration, and presentation skills. This approach develops communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills, while applying the course concepts practically.
