Software used
Ansys ModelCenter
- Easy automation of engineering tasks built with third party software tools
- Workflow integration and automation best practices
- Early concept design exploration with trade study tools
- Early problems identification to derive favorable solutions
Description
Ansys ModelCenter supports the digitalization of development processes by automating multidisciplinary engineering analyses in a flexible virtual environment. Right from the concept phase, which contributes significantly to the overall success of a product, you can identify optimal designs and use them for further development.
This training introduces you to the efficient setup and execution of engineering processes and forms the basis for a further topic, namely enabling Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with Ansys ModelCenter MBSE. The focus is on integrating multiple engineering tasks into one workflow, which is then used to analyze system performance and optimize your design. This extensive training covers key modules and topics that address the challenges of modern engineering. It provides valuable insights and practical skills to engineers and innovators looking to elevate their product development processes. In this training, you will learn to easily integrate various tools into ModelCenter workflows in an automated manner to eliminate repetitive and error-prone manual tasks, thus improving collaboration and productivity. This enables you to perform early design exploration and optimization, to answer any “What-if” questions and make efficient design decisions that can give you competitive advantage.
