Ansys and Skill-Lync to provide free online courses on EVs

This course is free. It covers different mechanical and electrical aspects of simulations with respect to an electric vehicle including design & simulation and setting up of the charging infrastructure.

Chennai headquartered startup Skill-Lync has partnered with design & simulation software provider Ansys to launch ‘basic courses in Electric Vehicle (EV) technology’ for undergraduate engineering students in India. This course is free. It covers different mechanical and electrical aspects of simulations with respect to an electric vehicle including design & simulation and setting up of the charging infrastructure. With this course, the two companies aim to provide in-depth knowledge on electric vehicles to the students.

With electric vehicles gaining in popularity the world over, it is important for engineering students – both mechanical and electrical engineers in their undergrad to understand the different aspects of electric vehicles. As part of this partnership, Ansys has provided access to several softwares to create an introductory course to understand the basics of electric vehicles. The course enables students with essentials in the fundamentals of Ansys Fluent, PExprt, SI Wave, Maxwell and Icepak. The duration of this course is 8-12 weeks. Students can complete the course using the Ansys student version of the software available free of cost.

The Basics of Electric Vehicle Simulations course is designed to give students a walk-through on how different EV components are engineered using simulation. The course covers topics such as the design of key components, basics of battery thermal management and computational fluid dynamics. It is split into 4 components wherein each component deals with one particular aspect of an Electric Vehicle. The 4 components which are covered include Battery Thermal Management System, Electric Motor Design, DC-DC Converter Design and External Aerodynamics.
