AB  - CAD and Finite Element (FE) Analysis are often used within product development and design. These tools are essential for a reliable and efficient process and are widely taught in many engineering curricula. Recent developments in software and computing power enable near-real-time FE simulations that allow students to quickly explore different iterations of their designs. Material selection is another integral part of the product design cycle and should be considered in the design process, ideally alongside the modeling. Balancing objectives and constraints to find the material that best meets the design criteria requires both an understanding of the product’s final application as well as materials science fundamentals. One challenge with combining materials selection and FE modeling is they are often taught separately, which can lead to one of the areas being underutilized during the design process. How do we as educators emphasize the importance of including materials selection during the simulation prototyping phase when both topics can be quite challenging for students?

We in the Ansys understand how critical it is to showcase the power of this combination to students during their undergraduate engineering and design degrees, so that they are prepared for their careers. Both simulation and materials selection benefit from real world examples within the classroom, allowing students to connect their previous understanding to the new topics being shown. With these two factors in mind, we are creating case studies showcasing how materials selection, using the Ashby materials selection methodology and Ansys Granta EduPack, and FEA simulation via Ansys simulation tools, can be used iteratively to design various products and parts. The content, design strategy, and challenges with creating resources of this nature will be discussed. Our hope is to improve and continue the development of those resources to help support the instruction of materials and simulation in the classroom.
