Episode 1 - October 3, 2025
From Weeks to Hours: Faster Propeller Design with Ansys Fluent GPU Solvers
- Presented by: Arsenios Chatzimichailidis, Senior CFD Application Engineer, Simtec
- Date & Time: Friday, October 3, 2025 - 14:00 CET
Highly turbulent flows, tip vortices, cavitation, wake interactions, simulating marine propellers has always been complex. But GPU-based solvers now make high-resolution transient CFD practical, accurate, and drastically faster.
Discover how the Fluent Native GPU Solver enables engineers to run transient simulations on fine meshes within industrial timelines, unlocking hydroacoustics and noise prediction capabilities never before feasible on a single workstation.
What You'll Learn:
- Simulate marine propellers with realistic, transient models
- Use GPU parallelism to run high-fidelity CFD on fine meshes
- Explore applications beyond marine: automotive, aerospace, energy, HVAC
- Save time and cost while improving design iterations
Practical Insight:
With a GPU-equipped workstation, you unlock simulation power that once required a full HPC cluster.
Episode 2 - October 10, 2025
Smarter EO/IR Sensor Design: From Physics to Performance with Ansys Optics
- Presented by: Paschalis Dompoudis, Application Engineer, Simtec
- Date & Time: Friday, October 10, 2025 - 14:00 CET
Electro-Optical Infrared (EOIR) sensing is crucial for defense, aerospace, and autonomous systems. But real-world performance depends on many physics: optics, heat, flow, materials, and environment.
This session shows how Ansys Optics brings them together into a single multiphysics workflow, simulating IR signatures, sensor behavior, and system-level performance.
What You'll Learn:
- What EOIR sensing is and why it matters
- How multiphysics workflows improve accuracy and reduce prototyping
- Simulate the full EOIR chain digitally
- Use cases in defense, aerospace, autonomous vehicles
Practical Insight:
Simulating EOIR systems digitally helps reduce cost, risk, and time-to-deployment.
Episode 3 - October 17, 2025
Silent Power: Reducing Noise and Vibration in Electric Motors with Ansys
- Presented by: Elly Vlahou Gomez, Application Engineer, Simtec
- Date & Time: Friday, October 17, 2025 - 14:00 CET
As electric motors power the next generation of mobility and consumer tech, noise and vibration (NVH) have become key to product quality and market acceptance.
This webinar presents Ansys’ complete NVH workflow, from electromagnetic excitation, to structural dynamics, to acoustic performance, showing how to reduce noise and improve reliability before the first prototype is built.
What You'll Learn:
- Full NVH workflow using Ansys multiphysics
- Integrate electromagnetic, structural, and acoustic solvers
- Design quieter, more reliable electric motors
- Applications across automotive, aerospace, and consumer tech
Practical Insight:
Simulation lets you solve NVH challenges before they reach production.
Episode 4 - October 24, 2025
When You Need More Than Prototypes: Defense Applications with Ansys LS-DYNA
- Presented by: Maik Schenke, Business Development Executive, Ansys part of Synopsys
- Date & Time: Friday, October 24, 2025 - 14:00 CET
From vehicle crashes to explosive blasts, some systems must survive extreme conditions. This session showcases how LS-DYNA enables engineers to simulate complex defense scenarios using a one-model strategy, human-body models, and robustness analysis.
You’ll see how this approach reduces reliance on physical prototypes, enhances safety analysis, and provides insights across multiple mission-critical use cases.
What You'll Learn:
- Use a one-model strategy across multiple simulation types
- Apply simplified damage models and HBM (Human Body Models)
- Estimate impact of material variance (e.g., sheet thickness)
- Replace costly prototyping in defense applications
Practical Insight:
LS-DYNA offers unmatched versatility by integrating multiple simulation domains, fluids, structures, particles, within a single license and platform.
