Welcome Address
The event commenced with a Welcome Address delivered by Dr. S. Sundararaman, Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering. He warmly welcomed the dignitaries, resource persons, faculty members, and participants, highlighting the importance of simulation tools like ANSYS in modern engineering education and research. He emphasized that such workshops provide valuable practical exposure and bridge the gap between theoretical learning and industrial application, encouraging students to actively engage and make the most of the hands-on sessions.
Honouring the Chief Guest
As a token of appreciation and respect, the Chief Guest was honoured by the organizing committee of the Department of Civil Engineering. The gesture reflected gratitude for the Chief Guest’s valuable presence and contribution to the “Real-World Simulation in ANSYS” workshop, adding grace and significance to the event.
Technical Sessions
Session I – Introduction to ANSYS and Its Applications
The first technical session offered an overview of ANSYS software, its modules, and diverse capabilities. The resource person explained how simulation helps minimize physical prototyping costs while enhancing product reliability. Real-world industrial case studies were presented to illustrate the practical relevance of ANSYS in solving engineering challenges.
Session II – Hands-on Structural Analysis
In the second session, participants engaged in practical exercises involving:
- Importing and creating CAD models.
- Applying meshing techniques and selecting suitable elements.
- Defining material properties, loads, and constraints.
- Performing stress, strain, and deformation analysis.
Each participant had the opportunity to execute a complete simulation on their own system, gaining direct exposure to the ANSYS workflow.
Conclusion
The “Real-World Simulation in ANSYS” workshop was a resounding success, enriching the participants’ technical knowledge and hands-on skills. It served as an excellent platform to connect classroom learning with real-world engineering applications. The event concluded with the distribution of participation certificates and a vote of thanks, marking the end of a productive and insightful session.
