The Department of Mechanical Engineering, CARE College of Engineering, organized a one-day Certificate Course on “Simulation Fundamentals with ANSYS” on 01.11.2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. More than 35 students from various institutions, including Saranathan College of Engineering, M. Kumarasamy College of Engineering, MAM School of Engineering, and K. Ramakrishna College of Engineering, Trichy actively participated in the event. The workshop aimed to provide fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience in ANSYS simulation tools, focusing on both ANSYS APDL and ANSYS Workbench.
The inaugural session began with a warm welcome address by Dr. D. R. Rajkumar, Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, CARE College of Engineering. The session was graced by Dr. K. Kannan, Dean Academics, who delivered an inspiring address highlighting the real-time industrial applications and importance of ANSYS in engineering analysis and design.
Following the inauguration, the technical sessions commenced with Dr. D. R. Rajkumar led the forenoon session, focusing on the ANSYS APDL tool, its interface, and essential simulation commands. Then he solved two problems in structural analysis. One is on deformation analysis on bars and another one problem from truss.
The afternoon session was handled by Mr. A. Antony Luki, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, CARE College of Engineering. Students executed ANSYS Workbench 2D element static stress analysis and also learned basic tools usage in ANSYS Workbench.
The workshop concluded with the distribution of certificates to all participants including our Mechanical Engineering Students from 3rd and Final year. Mr. Gopinath, a final-year Mechanical Engineering student, delivered the vote of thanks. The participants expressed positive feedback, appreciating the well-structured sessions and valuable learning experience.
