Simulation Fridays S07E03: Boat Hull Planing in a Virtual Water Tank 

A planing boat at speed rides on a small and constantly shifting wetted patch of the running surface. This episode presents how Ansys Fluent models the free surface to examine that patch directly: the pressure on the hull, the spray it throws and the dry transom. It also shows how resistance varies with running trim, and what that means for how the boat is set up.

Simulation Fridays S06E04: Rapid Engineering Design with Discovery Simulation

In this demonstration, we are evaluating the early-stage design of a car's HVAC duct network and cabin airflow distribution. Starting with a basic vehicle cabin CAD model, we will instantly simulate how the air travels from the main blower, splits through the dashboard geometry, and exits out of the vents into the passenger cabin.

Simulation Fridays S06E03: Custom Electric Machine Design Analysis Using Ansys Motor-CAD Adaptive Templates

This webinar introduces Adaptive Templates and demonstrates an example workflow. Motor-CAD simplifies the electromagnetic design of electric motors using its parameterised standard template geometries. However, for the design of models with geometries that cannot be modeled using Standard Templates, Motor-CAD provides Adaptive Templates. By using Adaptive Templates users can generate their own geometric parameterisations from scratch or based upon our Standard Templates. Using Adaptive Templates engineers can generate their own geometric parameterisations using a Python script.
