Introduction to Design of Experiments (DoE) & Robust Design for... Simulation Engineers of ANSYS

Introduction to Design of Experiments (DoE) & Robust Design for Practising
Simulation Engineers of ANSYS
Duration: 2 Days
Pre Requisites: 1. Knowledge of ANSYS & Awareness of Design Xplorer
2. Basic knowledge on Engineering & Statistics
Overview
Current day products / processes are very complex and are involving the outputs from many
subsystems / components or sub-processes and activities. Hence, any product / process
quality issue cannot be attributed due to a single factor. Therefore, Instead of a “Quick-Fix”
solution as a convenient / conventional approach by changing one parameter in the design,
it is absolutely essential to understand the root cause of issues, with a deep dive approach
of understanding the significant factors and their interactions.
Parametric studies can drive significant time and costs out of the development process —
while still ensuring design robustness and ultimate product integrity. As business pressures
continue to increase, parametric design studies are becoming a competitive imperative.
Those businesses that adopt this concept will be leaders, while others will be followers.
Design of Experiments (DoE) is one of the most successful structured approach in
understanding the real life issues in identifying the critical factors and interactions in causing
the issue. DoE also helps in delivering an effective solution by controlling them. Many
techniques and approaches by utilising DoE in finding out those inputs which have
maximum influence on the output through a minimum set of experiments. DoE saves
considerable time & efforts in trouble shooting, identifying quality inputs and in rectifying
the total system.
Keeping this in view, ANSYS India in association with RAISE Consultancy Services, Bangalore
is organizing a Two day dedicated programme on “Design of Experiments, An Approach
towards Robust Product Design for Practising CAE Professionals on 16 – 17th October 2014
at ANSYS India office Bangalore. This programme will focus on providing overview,
knowledge & benefits of various approaches like factorial, fractional factorial DOE & DOE in
Taguchi Method of Robust Design, real life case studies, ANSYS Design Xplorer capabilities
with hands on workshop session.
