– ensuring the knowledge of the physical fundamentals and models needed

– with a practical scope so they can take advantage of ANSYS in the industry

– specialised in advanced calculations

– for several industries (energy, automotive, aeronautics, construction, civil engineering, naval, railway, industrial equipment, etc).

Introduction

5

This master's degree is intended for engineers, architects, and mathematical, physical or chemical sciences graduates, either working in the industry or recent graduates.

Alternatively, the student should hold a degree that recognizes a training or competences level similar to those stated here and that gives access to a post-graduate course in the student's country of origin.

Introduction

ANSYS

ANSYS develops, markets and supports engineering simulation software used to predict how product designs will behave and how manufacturing processes will operate in real-world environments. The company continually advances simulation solutions by, first, developing or acquiring the very best technology; then integrating it into a unified and customizable simulation platform that allows engineers to efficiently perform complex simulations involving the interaction of multiple physics; and, finally, providing system services to manage simulation processes and data — all so engineers and product developers can spend more time designing and improving products and less time using software and searching for data.

Founded in 1970, ANSYS employs about 2,600 professionals, and many of them are engineers expert in fields such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, electronics and electromagnetics, and design optimization. The staff includes more master’s and Ph.D.-level engineers than any other simulation provider. ANSYS re-invests 15 percent of revenues each year into research to continually refine its software.
