Specialization in Numerical Structural Analysis using Ansys Mechanical in Spanish

This training program provides an extensive exploration of structural analysis and its core theory, designed to offer students a deep understanding of various types of structural analysis, Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The program is structured in 12 subjects, which the student takes linearly one by one over the course of 2 years. Each subject presents detailed theoretical content paired with hands-on practical sessions using Ansys, a leading global simulation software:

• Fundamentals of Structural Analysis: 7 week long analytical subject with the aim of leveling students’ knowledge of solid mechanics.
• Numerical Methods in applied to Structural Engineering: 4 week long subject with the aim of leveling students’ knowledge numerical methods applied to structural engineering, concepts shown here will be used to better understand the Finite Element Method.
• Finite Element Method: 10 week long subject that showcases the finite element method works along with its different formulations and solution types; here, the student starts to dive into the software and learns all the concepts to develop a well done linear static analysis.
• Nonlinear Analysis: 12 week long subject that focuses on the three fundamental sources of nonlinearities (large deformations, contacts and nonlinear materials) and all the models and ways to solve these problems.
• Engineering Materials: 6 week long subject that focuses on the modeling of the constitutive models of different materials, ranging from metallic, to hyperelastic or even viscoelastic materials.
• Heat Transfer: 7 week long subject on heat transfer analysis with FEM focusing on solids and the 3 main mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. Also, it’s shown how to make thermal-structural coupling.
• Dynamic and Modal Analysis: 10 week long subject on dynamic analysis in both frequency and time domain. Modal, harmonic, transient, spectral and random vibration analysis are the focus here.
• Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics: 8 week long subject on the main ways to do durability analysis in different load scenarios and to analyze fracture in a component, meaning on how a crack appears and propagates as a certain load is applied.
• Explicit Dynamics: 7 week long subject on short duration impact analysis that results in large deformations. Generally applications such as ballistic, crash and forming have very high nonlinearities and short duration, so they are better solved using the explicit method.
• Multiphysics: 7 week long subject on the basics of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and how to make Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI). Such analysis can be a 1-way or 2-way analysis.
• Project Optimization Techniques: 7 week long subject on optimization, being it via scripting to automate simulation processes or via parametric, shape or topological optimizations to obtain best possible design for your project.
• Seminars in Industrial Application Analysis: final phase of the course where the student chooses a topic of interest and develops a final project. This project is first analyzed by our team and then the student presents it to a board of expert examiners.

Hands-On Practical Sessions: Each subject is complemented by practical sessions conducted using Ansys software. These hands-on workshops allow students to apply theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios, reinforcing their learning through direct interaction with the software. Ansys’s powerful simulation tools provide an invaluable platform for experimenting with and solving complex engineering problems.

Real-World Applications: The training program emphasizes real-world applications, ensuring that students not only gain theoretical knowledge but also develop practical skills that can be directly applied to industry challenges. By integrating case studies and practical exercises, the program bridges the gap between academic learning and practical implementation.

Overall, this training program offers a robust and flexible educational experience, enabling students to gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in FEA. With the support of Ansys software, participants are well-equipped to advance their careers and tackle complex engineering problems with confidence. All content is 100% online and prepared by experts with extensive experience in the simulation market. The modules include recorded video lectures and hands-on exercises to reinforce knowledge.
