Engineering and AI with CADFEM/Ansys

Tuesday 10 Nov 2026, 09:00 → 15:00 Europe/Berlin

Online

Matthias Läuter (Zuse Institute Berlin), Patrick Höhn (GWDG)

NHR@ZIB and NHR@Göttingen are two of nine centers in the NHR alliance. The compute resources in Berlin and in Göttingen support the research community in Germany, especially in the field of computational engineering. The advances in AI offer improvements for engineering software and its applications. Both NHR centers collaborate with the company CADFEM. The presentations will give an overview to interfaces between AI and the engineering software Ansys. Examples on both compute systems will be presented.

• This event is online-only and will be held using a zoom meeting. All registered participants receive the session link via email the day before the event starts.
