    Episode 1 - February 6, 2025

    1 machine, 3 physics, 1 Software: MotorCAD the solution for your problems

    • Presented by: Csaba Szita, Application Engineer, Simtec
    • Date & Time: Friday, February 6, 2026 - 14:00 CET

    We can encounter a wide range of problems when developing a motor. From electrical issues to the ever-problematic overheating and mechanical integrity, there are many things to con-sider. MotorCAD offers a comprehensive, simple solution to these problems.

    Episode 2 - February 13, 2025

    Mastering Aero-Optics: High-Fidelity Simulation for Airborne Optical Systems

    • Presented by: Paschalis Dompoudis, Application Engineer, Simtec
    • Date & Time: Friday, February 13, 2026 - 14:00 CET

    Join us to discover how Ansys Optics integrates with CFD data to accurately simulate aero-optical effects in high-speed flight environments. We will demonstrate workflows for modeling wavefront distortions caused by turbulent flow fields and thermal gradients to ensure optimal sensor performance. Learn how to bridge the gap between aerodynamics and optical design to significantly reduce testing risks for airborne systems.

    Episode 3 - February 20, 2025

    Shape optimization using the adjoint solver of Fluent

    • Presented by: Morteza Monfaredi, Application Engineer, Simtec
    • Date & Time: Friday, February 20, 2026 - 14:00 CET

    This episode introduces the adjoint solver in ANSYS Fluent and demonstrates how it can be used to perform efficient shape optimization. Participants will learn how sensitivity fields are generated and how design changes can be guided automatically using adjoint gradients.

    Episode 4 - February 27, 2025

    Advanced Calibration Strategies for Reliable Simulation Models

    • Presented by: Olia Dangeli, Application Engineer, Simtec
    • Date & Time: Friday, February 27, 2026 - 14:00 CET

    Extracting accurate material parameters from experimental data is essential for any material model, but the process becomes significantly more challenging with advanced nonlinear behaviors. MCalibration streamlines this workflow with semi-automatic parameter extraction and calibration, giving engineers a faster and more reliable path to accurate simulation models.
