Casting Design and Simulation

Certificate Training Programme for Engineering and Polytechnic Teachers 21st September 2013, BHG CET, Rajkot

India has the second largest foundry industry in the world, and supplies cast parts to automobile, energy, machine tool and other important sectors. Most of these foundries face quality issues, which can be solved by CAD and simulation technologies. The multiphysics phenomena of flow, heat transfer and stress coupled with material and geometric parameters provide a rich arena for research. There is however, a severe shortage of qualified engineers, teachers and researchers in this field. To meet this gap, E-Foundry Academy (http://efoundry.iitb.ac.in) has been created in the National Knowledge Network mission. It includes online videos, simulation lab, library of animations, case studies and technical papers, as well as quizzes, tutorials and discussion hub. Teachers can freely use these resources to enhance their courses and labs, plan student and research projects, and interact with the local industry.

To train engineering and polytechnic teachers from local colleges, BGHCET is organizing a certificate training programme E-Foundry: Casting Design and Simulation on Saturday, 21st September 2013. Interested teachers of Mechanical, Materials & Production streams are invited to attend. Course faculty include Prof. B. Ravi from IIT Bombay, and other researchers in the field. Participants should have prior exposure to metal casting. The registration fee of Rs. 500 covers the sessions and lunch. One set of course material will be provided to each participating institute. For seat confirmation, please contact and send the filled registration form to: Prof. Amit V. Sata, Associate Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering B H Gardi College of Engineering and Technology, Rajkot-361162 avsata@gardividyapith.ac.in M +91 81406 00080
