On the other hand, we havesimulation tools like Ansys Discovery, Ansys Mechanical, and Ansys Fluent which are used todesign parts and assess whether they can withstand the forces, fluid flows, thermal environments,etc. that they will experience during their lifetime. Often when students focus on the simulationaspects, they overlook the breath of materials at their disposal and resort to using standard materialssuch as general structural steels for their designs.We at Ansys look to support educators teaching both materials and design.
