System Simulation with Ansys Twin Builder
From Functional Principle to Simulation
From the initial functional idea and schematic sketch to the simulation of your entire product with a system model This training is offered as a 2-day course.
Duration
2 days
Prerequisites
None
Software used
Ansys Twin Builder
- Describing complex physical relationships in a structured way
- Learn to use Ansys Twin Builder and the Modelica environment
- Get to know the extensive 0D/1D-Modelica library
- Validate and interpret simulation results
Description
With system simulation, even complex relationships can be simulated across the boundaries of physical domains. But what is the best way to start? Where do you define the limits of the system? And above all: How can the results be validated?
In this training, you will learn how to create a system model based on a schematic sketch and how to extend it step by step in detail and scope. In addition to the theoretical background and the implementation in Ansys Twin Builder, we also cover the use of the Modelica environment and the extensive user-specific library. You will know how to incorporate simulation and test results as well as freely usable elements of the Modelica library into your system model. Suitable practical examples will help you to consolidate and apply your new knowledge.
The content of the course is aimed both at system managers and engineers who need to understand and calculate mechanical, fluidic, thermal or electrical performance.
