Discover Ansys for Student Teams

Student engineering teams work toward ambitious goals, often within tight development schedules and limited budgets. Whether your team is designing a lighter chassis, improving aerodynamic performance, developing an efficient electric motor, selecting the right materials, or optimizing an optical system, every design decision can influence the performance of the final product.

In this practical 45-minute session, our Application Engineer, Nikhil Fernandes, will introduce the possibilities offered by the Ansys simulation portfolio. Available through our Ansys Academic bundles, these solutions give student teams access to advanced simulation tools that can support their engineering projects from initial concept development to design optimization.

What you'll learn

You’ll discover how Ansys simulation can support common student-project challenges across five primary physics domains:

1. Mechanical & Structural Analysis (Ansys Mechanical)
   Evaluate stress, deformation, strength, and weight to compare structural concepts and develop lighter, stronger designs.
2. CFD & Fluid Dynamics (Ansys Fluent)
   Investigate aerodynamics, internal flow, and thermal management to improve drag, downforce, cooling, and overall performance.
3. Electronics & Electromagnetics (Low & High Frequency)
   
   HF Electronics (Ansys HFSS)
   Explore antenna performance, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC behaviour to support reliable communication and reduce interference risks.
   LF Electronics (Ansys Maxwell)
   Analyze motors, actuators, and magnetic fields to compare concepts and improve electromagnetic efficiency.
   Electric Motor Design (Ansys Motor-CAD)
   Assess electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical performance to improve motor efficiency across operating conditions and drive cycles.
4. Materials & Composites
   
   Material Selection (Ansys Granta)
   Compare materials based on weight, strength, performance, and project requirements to support better-informed material decisions.
   Composite Design (Ansys Composite PrePost)
   Evaluate composite materials and layups to reduce weight while maintaining the required structural performance.
5. Optics & Photonics (Ansys Zemax)
   Assess lenses, cameras, sensors, and illumination systems, including how alignment and structural deformation affect optical performance.

At Infinite we also provide advice, training, and technical support to help your student team identify and apply the solutions that best fit its engineering challenges.
