Mechanical Engineering Program

Mechanical Engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.

The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, and electricity. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, and others.

CANTER CADD offers you the various combinations of software products such as AutoCAD, CREO,ANSYS,HYPERMESH,CATIA,NX CAD and Unigraphics. We offer the programmer starting from FOUNDATION to MASTERS. For any Mechanical Engineer if they undergo the software training program from the masters they can enhance their skills.

AnsysAPDL

Ansys APDL

ANSYS Mechanical is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool for structural analysis, including linear, nonlinear and dynamic studies.

The software creates simulated computer models of structures, electronics, or machine components to simulate strength, toughness, elasticity, temperature distribution, electromagnetism, fluid flow, and other attributes. Ansys is used to determine how a product will function with different specifications, without building test products or conducting crash tests. For example, Ansys software may simulate how a bridge will hold up after years of traffic, how to best process salmon in a cannery to reduce waste, or how to design a slide that uses less material without sacrificing safety.

Most Ansys simulations are performed using the Ansys Workbench software. Typically Ansys users break down larger structures into small components that are each modeled and tested individually. A user may start by defining the dimensions of an object, and then adding weight, pressure, temperature and other physical properties. Finally, the Ansys software simulates and analyzes movement, fatigue, fractures, fluid flow, temperature distribution, electromagnetic efficiency, and other effects over time.

Course Objective:

The objective of the course is to teach the students to comfortably navigate the Mechanical APDL user interface and apply a proven workflow for creating, solving, and post-processing 2-D and 3-D finite element models.

Import and/or create geometry as needed for the creation of their simulation model.

Use Selection Logic to efficiently operate on sub-regions of a model for meshing, loading, and post-processing.

Understand the concept of element attributes and apply it to building effective, efficient meshes using beam, shell, and solid elements.

Build complex interactions among model regions through contact, coupling, constraint equations, and bolt/gasket interfaces.

Implement coupled-field solutions using 1-D fluid flow elements and 2-D and 3-D solid elements.

Ansys Course Objective:

This course will cover all the concept of Finite Element Analysis. The main objective of this course is to make student and corporate professionals proficient enough in CAE using Ansys workbench. The content of Ansys workbench which we are providing here are Static Structural, Modal Analysis, Harmonic response, Buckling Analysis, Explicit Dynamics, Thermal Analysis, Rigid body dynamics. Ansys is equipped with all the capabilities that are required for completing a product design.

Static Structural: A Static analysis calculates the effects of steady loading conditions on a structure, while ignoring inertia and damping effects, such as those caused by time-varying loads. It is used to determine the displacements, stresses, strains, forces in structures or components caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects.

Transient Structural: it involves loads that are a function of time. In mechanical application, you can perform a transient analysis on either a flexible structure or a rigid assembly. It can be either linear or non-linear.

Modal Analysis: it is used to determine the vibration characteristics like natural frequency and mode shapes of a structure or a machine component while it is being designed

Steady-State Thermal Analysis: It can be used to determine the temperature distributions in an object with thermal loads that do not vary with time. It includes Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Most thermal analysis are steady-state thermal analysis.

Transient Thermal Analysis: It determine temperature and other thermal quantities that vary over time. The variation of temperature distribution over time is of interest in many applications such as with cooling of electronic packages or a quenching analysis for heat treatment.

Explicit Dynamics: It enables to capture the physics of short duration events for products that undergo higher non-linearity, transient dynamic force.

Harmonic Analysis: It is used to determine the steady state response of a linear structure to loads that are sinusoidal loads (harmonically) with time, thus enabling you to verify whether or not your designs will successfully overcome resonance, fatigue, and other harmful effects of forced vibrations.

Rigid Body Dynamics: it is the study of the motion of assemblies of bodies that do not deform, but instead move rigidly in 3D space. The free motion of bodies is restrained by joints.

GD-and-T

Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances. It uses a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describe nominal geometry and its allowable variation. It tells the manufacturing staff and machines what degree of accuracy and precision is needed on each controlled feature of the part. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect) geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possible size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features.

Types of Tolerance:

Three basic tolerances that occur most often on working drawings are: limit dimensions, unilateral, and bilateral tolerances. Three basic tolerances that occur most often on working drawings are: limit dimensions, unilateral, and bilateral tolerances.
