INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
exponentially in the past 10 years, allowing engineering advances in every area, ranging
from bioengineering to environmental science. There are four main components to
simulation engineering: software, memory requirements, hardware resources, and user
interfaces.
All simulation engineering tools are designed for use by trained engineers or
engineering technologists. Many engineering post-secondary programs now have courses
in simulation engineering, when it should be used, and how to interpret the results. This
advance in technology has greatly reduced costly errors, allows engineering research to
expand into new areas at a much lower cost, and to work out the landscape of their research
before actually starting the physical project. The software used in simulation engineering
is specifically designed for each discipline. The quality and flexibility of these programs
have increased dramatically with expanded usage. As such, the software products available
now include time lapse and projections, impact of natural forces over extended time frames,
and the impact of temperature fluctuations.
The sheer amount of memory and system resources necessary to employ simulation
engineering software is one of the remaining roadblocks. It's worth noting that the
improvement was not due to a change in the requirements, but rather to better processing
and communication. Memory has become more affordable, allowing this business to grow.
As far as computers go, Memory makers have improved their procedures, which has
resulted in lower costs. According to them, according to Moore's law, the cost of memory
should reduce by 50% every 18 months.
Hardware requirements for these software products are significant. In the interest
of cost savings, many large research universities combine resources and funding to create
separate institutes for engineering research. These institutes function independently, but are
responsible to a board of directors representing all the partner institutes. As such, the
research is able to progress, and the knowledge shared. This type of partnership is not
uncommon in the post-secondary sector, but is not viable in the private sector.
User interfaces required for simulation engineering have advanced in the past few
years. Traditionally, users were required to learn programming languages, and key in all
the specifications and requirements. The computer would process the request and provide
the results of the calculations. Advances in technology and resource allocation now allow
users to have graphical interfaces, multidimensional projections, and view the impact of
specific actions on the shape and other physical characteristics.

MOOC RESOURCES
2.1 EDX
edX is a massive open online course (MOOC) provider founded by Harvard and
MIT in the United States. It offers online university-level courses in a variety of fields to a
global student base, with some courses available for free. It also performs learning research
depending on how users interact with its platform. edX is a non-profit organisation that
uses the open-source Open edX software platform. On June 29th, 2021, it was reported that
edX had been purchased by 2U, a business that specialises in educational technology. More
than 150 schools, non-profit organizations, and corporations offer or plan to offer courses
on the edX website. As of 20 July 2020, edX has around 33 million students taking more
than 3,000 courses online. edX also has over 6,000 instructors on the platform with a
presence of 196 countries represented worldwide. Vanderbilt University.
The MOOC ‘A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulation’ which was
completed on the online MOOC platform edX was offered by the Cornell University.

2D Conduction Problem –
• Develop the solution to a 2D heat conduction problem in ANSYS Mechanical
• Verify the numerical results from ANSYS
• Connect the ANSYS steps to concepts covered in the Big Ideas: Finite Element Analysis
section
Figure 3.2.1 shows the 2D Conduction problem that was required to be solved using
ANSYS workbench.

A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulation
The left three-hole surfaces are fixed and a load of 100 lbf is applied on the right
hole surface in the upward direction. Note that this is an approximation of the actual loads
and constraints on the bike crank.
Using ANSYS Mechanical, we will calculate the following:
• Deformed shape and displacement field
• Stress distribution in the crank
We verify our results by undertaking a systematic process for checking results.
The problem was solved following the problem specifications as show above. The
ANSYS results was obtained and validated using formula. The same problem with few
modifications was given as assignment.
Problem Definition –
The Saturn V rocket that carried people to the moon is the most powerful machine
ever built. The Saturn V's first stage was powered by five F1 engines. In this exercise, we
analyze the bolted flange joint that connected the mid and lower parts of the F1 engine
nozzle. The figure 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 below shows a picture of the F1 engine and the
corresponding model in ANSYS. Note that the ANSYS model includes only the mid and
lower parts of the nozzle and the bolted flange joint connecting them.
19
A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulation
We'll analyze this bolted joint by building a non-linear finite element model in
ANSYS. Our main objective is to assess the margin of safety of the flange bolts. We'd also
like to determine the gaps that develop between the jointed parts when the assembly is
loaded.
The pressure due to the exhaust gas in the nozzle is calculated using 1D gas
dynamics. It is assumed to vary linearly along the nozzle axis. The pressure at the exit (z=0)
is 12.17 psi and the pressure at the entrance to the mid-nozzle is 47.72 psi.
The regeneration channels are omitted in the model. In exchange, a free body
diagram is used to deduce the equivalent forces on the mid nozzle and lower nozzle (the
upper nozzle is not modeled here). This force pair is modeled as two separate forces, each
of 1000 lbf. The gas temperature is 700 F which causes thermal strain. We assume that bolt
is pre-loaded to 50% of its breaking strength.
The problem was solved following the problem specifications as show above. The
ANSYS results was obtained and validated using formula. While solving this problem we
learnt the use and need for symmetry in ANSYS. The same problem with few modification
was given as assignment.

• Develop the numerical solution to a laminar pipe flow problem in ANSYS Fluent
• Verify the numerical results from ANSYS Fluent
• Connect the ANSYS steps to concepts covered in the Big Ideas in CFD section
21
A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulation
We solve this problem numerically using ANSYS Fluent. We'll look at the
following results:
• Velocity vectors
• Velocity magnitude contours
• Pressure contours
• Velocity profile at the outlet
We verify the results by following a systematic process which includes comparing
the results with the analytical solution in the fully-developed region.
The problem was solved following the problem specifications as show above. The
ANSYS Fluent was used to obtain results and validated. The same problem with few
modifications was given as assignment.
Assignments were provided for each module. It involved both theoretical and ANSYS
based question. The minimum requirement to pass this course is 60%. Figure 3.3.1 shows
the grade summary.
