UNSW adopts Ansys simulation software
for students
The University of New South Wales has teamed with Ansys to develop an industry-ready work force that is trained in the use of engineering simulation software
Ansys, a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimise product development processes, has announced that the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has chosen to deploy software from Ansys across its campuses on that continent A world-class research and teaching university headquartered in Sydney, UNSW will use the Ansys academic products for teaching programmes and research activities in various fields of engineering and science

The UNSW School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering will offer its third-year students a course that covers applications of computational techniques and commercial packages in engineering analysis.
Covering structural and fluid flow analyses in two streams, the course will use the Ansys technology portfolio to enhance understanding of modeling strategies, structured and unstructured grids, element choices, solution interpretation, accuracy and convergence, turbulence modeling, nonlinear, and time-dependent problems.
Through the application of Ansys DesignModeler software and geometry interfaces for various CAD systems, students will learn about "what-if" parametric studies in a design context.
Finally, the two streams will be combined, introducing students to coupled-physics phenomena, such as fluid structure interaction, using the Ansys Workbench environment.
Products from Ansys will be used for both teaching and research in a number of other schools at UNSW, including the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The School of Materials Science and Engineering, The School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, The Faculty of Built Environment, The School of Mining Engineering, and UNSW at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
A number of research projects using the suite of Ansys products will be conducted this year by the Water Research Laboratory, the Faculty of Safety Science and the NSW Injury Risk Management Research Centre.
"We are honoured to partner with UNSW, as it is one of Australia's leading teaching universities and undertakes a tremendous range of research.
Our relationship with UNSW is critical in ensuring that there is an Ansys trained workforce available to our commercial customers; it also is crucial in ensuring that academic research can continue to push the technology envelope," said Joe Fairbanks, vice president, worldwide sales and support at Ansys: "The affiliation with UNSW is a testament to the potential of our products - as well as to the support capabilities of our partner LEAP and the value they create for our academic customers".
LEAP Australia, the Ansys channel partner in Australia, has been working closely with UNSW.
"A well-trained and industry-ready work force is one of the key obstacles faced by Australian companies when deploying simulation as part of the product development process in creating competitive products," said Greg Horner, managing director and co-founder of LEAP.
"Having high-quality universities like UNSW training graduates in computational engineering is fantastic for local businesses".
