CADFEM advisory services for universities and the research sector

We consolidate our commitment to research and teaching under the CADFEM motto “simulation is more than software” in the CADFEM Academic initiative – a central contact point for lecturers, PhD candidates, students and researchers. In addition to personal contact, we also offer events specifically tailored to research and teaching needs.

Workshops for lecturers and instructors

The task of designing an introductory practical course for FEM or CFD is similar at every university.
That is why CADFEM workshops for lecturers save you time when preparing teaching materials and updating content.

Added value

You can focus on the physical/technical aspects of teaching

Practical

Students work with current software for 3D simulation

Sample solutions

Prepared tutorials can be quickly and easily expanded

What university customers are saying

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wilhelm Rust
Professor of Simulation in Mechanical Engineering, Hanover University of Applied Sciences
ANSYS offers the possibility of subsequent parameterization of CAD geometries and control variables. In the ‘Structural mechanics: basic examples with ANSYS Workbench’ lecturer workshop, I show tasks and sample solutions with which we carry out parametric studies and mathematical optimization in teaching.

Matthias Kowalski
Development engineer, Siemens AG
The Electromagnetic Simulation summer school is the perfect way for PhD candidates to learn how to use ANSYS software at a high level based on collaborative case studies. The discussion of different simulation approaches and methods for my dissertation topic with Dr. Hanke and other doctoral students was invaluable to me.
