  • Can Shared Drives Handle PDM? Exploring the Challenges and Alternatives

    Dec 19, 2024

    Local shared drives, and cloud ones like OneDrive, SharePoint, and Box, are often considered convenient and low-cost solutions for Product Data Management (PDM). But how well do they actually support the complex needs of engineering teams? In this webinar, we’ll explore whether shared drives can be configured to function as a PDM system and what limitations you might encounter. Step by step, we’ll demonstrate potential workflows and identify key gaps in security, version control, and collaboration. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how shared drives stack up against a purpose-built PDM solution.

  • Response Spectrum Analysis of Beam Structures

    Dec 12, 2024

    The dynamic behavior of beams under seismic loads is a critical factor in ensuring structural safety and performance. Ansys Discovery empowers engineers to rapidly design and create beam cross-sections, simplifying the integration and definition of geometry. Once the design is complete, engineers can easily transfer the model to Ansys Workbench, where they can perform advanced coupled analyses, beginning with modal analysis and extending to a full response spectrum analysis to simulate earthquake-induced vibrations. This seamless workflow enables efficient design and comprehensive validation of beam performance under dynamic loading conditions.

    Join us for this KETIV Virtual Academy session, hosted by KETIV Applications Engineer Hari Mohan, where he will demonstrate how to conduct a full-scale response spectrum analysis of beam geometries. Learn how to easily create custom beam cross-sections or select from a variety of pre-defined options. Explore how to integrate multiple workflows, post-process simulation results, and visualize dynamic behavior, while evaluating stress distributions and displacement patterns under seismic forces. This session is perfect for engineers and analysts focused on structural design and dynamic response of systems.
