Master’s Degree in Numerical Simulation in Engineering with ANSYS
For several years, I have seen engineers working in the industry or finishing their degree in engineering that have been looking for advanced education in ANSYS. Some of them were unable to find a...
View ArticleHow to Use Creo Parametric Parametrically with ANSYS Workbench
Many of you are using CAD tools like Creo Parametric along with ANSYS Workbench, but some of you are not using them parametrically. Of that group, there are probably a few who just really enjoy irony...
View ArticleMeeting CAFE standards Through Improved Engine Simulations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released new Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE standards for light duty cars and trucks. These standards are designed to reduce greenhouse...

Piezoelectric devices surround us in our everyday life. Our cars and trucks contain many piezoelectric devices, including fuel level sensors, air bag deployment sensors, parking sensors and...
View ArticleImproving Performance and Durability of Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are among the most common process equipment. They come in different sizes (e.g. cold plate within your mobile phone vs a waste heat recovery system in a plant), shapes (shell and tube,...
View ArticleSix Myths of High-Performance Computing
Looking back at my notes from conversations with many engineers during our recent ANSYS Convergence Conferences, I must admit that I still came across some myths and misconceptions about...
View ArticleThe Tenth Drop in the Pitch Drop Experiment
The Pitch drop experiment was initiated in 1927 at the University of Queensland, Australia. It consists of observing the very slow flow of a highly viscous material through a convergent, under gravity...
View ArticleCollaborating to Reduce Gas Turbine Fuel Burn
The pressure is on to reduce fuel burn for gas turbines of all types. The need is particularly acute for aircraft engines, in that fuel is a large component of operating costs of an airline, so much so...
