PITTSBURGH, Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Through its recent
acquisition of Granta Design, ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) is
supporting educators in teaching vital topics relating to materials
to the next generation of students with the newly released CES
EduPack™ 2019. Now extended to support a range of teaching
approaches, this groundbreaking set of materials education
resources supports materials teaching for engineering, design,
science and sustainable development courses from pre-university to
the advanced graduate level at more than 1,000 universities and
colleges worldwide.
Among other enhancements, the 2019 release introduces a new
Materials Science & Engineering (MS&E) Edition, which
addresses key challenges of teaching introductory materials courses
— large class sizes, students with different interests and
backgrounds, and the need to communicate fundamental knowledge. The
MS&E Edition offers interactive tools, like the Phase Diagram
Tool, that promote active discovery and enable students to visually
explore the vital relationships between materials processing,
structures, and properties. These tools complement existing CES
EduPack resources to support the full range of design-led and
science-led teaching approaches. CES EduPack is now an ideal
companion to all leading materials textbooks, including those
authored by Callister, Ashby, or Shackelford.
"The Phase Diagram Tool is an extremely valuable interactive
simulation that effectively demonstrates to users the
interpretation of phase diagrams and how this information may be
applied to understanding the development of microstructure," said
Bill Callister, professor,
University of Utah.
With the acquisition of Granta, ANSYS also empowers educational
institutions to lead Eco Design and Sustainable Development
programs.
"CES EduPack 2019 supports educators that are using the UN
Sustainable Development Goals as a starting point for project work
around social equality, justice and technological developments,"
said Mike Ashby, professor and
co-founder of Granta. "Through regular updates to sustainable
development data and the addition of new topics such as additive
manufacturing and biocomposites to link materials use to real-world
production and manufacturing, CES EduPack 2019 empowers students to
make stronger design decisions."
Additional CES EduPack 2019 enhancements include Spanish and
German versions and enhanced accessibility enabling users to
navigate using keyboard shortcuts. High contrast home pages,
informative tool tips and improved font size settings improve the
experience for all users, including those with visual impairments
and those who use screen readers.
