PEP Talk: Ansys Modeling Software Introduction for PEP
Overview:
Ansys supports academia and industry with cutting-edge modeling and simulation (M&S)
software. They have graciously partnered with PEP to develop a three-part series of webinars to introduce
different tools that can support the PEP teams. This year, ONR is looking for more design documentation, and
these resources can truly support teams looking to make their design their own. The first webinar will address
key software packages that can get teams started with M&S.
You can sign up for the first webinar on October 22 now. After this presentation,
there will also be a third webinar
with extensive Q&A time on November 6th for teams needing assistance with their models.

Webinar 1: Electric Ship – Virtual Planning, Monitoring and
Execution
This webinar provides an overview of a simulation
workflow for the ASNE/PEP
student
competitors. Each team can decide if the entire workflow or a portion of it can
provide them with a
competitive
advantage. A physics based simulation workflow is presented that includes mission
course definition and
for that
course, the battery state of charge is monitored.
This capability is realized by:
(i) using
computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) to determine the relationship among the boat velocity, thrust force,
motor torque and
propeller
rpm, and
(ii) using hull drag coefficients with a hydrodynamics analysis software
that includes a PID
controller
to determine required thrust forces and velocities along the user defined path.
The
battery
configuration, motor
selection, hull and propeller design, can be considered to help understand:
(i) if
the boat will
complete the
defined path, and
(ii) the time to complete the path. Accessing the software
required for these analyses
will
also be presented. We hope to see you there!
