Teaching Solid Mechanics with Ansys

Overview

Solid Mechanics forms the foundation of mechanical and structural engineering education yet bridging the gap between theory and real-world application remains a key challenge in the classroom. In this webinar, Teaching Solid Mechanics with Ansys, we’ll explore how educators can leverage simulation tools to bring fundamental concepts—such as stress, strain, deformation, and failure—alive through interactive, visual learning experiences.

Participants will see how Ansys enables students to connect equations to engineering intuition, perform hands-on virtual experiments, and develop deeper insights into how materials and structures behave under loading. Whether you’re teaching introductory courses or advanced design, this session will share ideas, examples, and ready-to-use resources to bring simulation-driven learning into your classroom.

What Attendees Will Learn

• Use Ansys simulations to make Solid Mechanics concepts visual and interactive.
• Bridge theory with real-world engineering through virtual experiments.
• Access ready-to-use teaching materials and classroom examples.
• Boost student engagement and learning outcomes with simulation-driven instruction.
• Support experiential learning outcomes and accreditation goals (ABET, CDIO, etc.).

Who Should Attend

Professors and educators teaching courses in mechanical, aerospace, biomedical, and civil engineering; as well as students who are interested in learning about examples and topics.
