Ansys Student Team Meeting Nordic 2026

In-person Student Engineering & Simulation Workshop | Gothenburg, Sweden | Chalmers University of Technology

Are you part of a Solar, Formula, Rocketry, E-Rallycross, or another student engineering team? Are you ready to accelerate your product design and take your innovation to the next level?

Join us for a one-day, in-person workshop for simulation-driven student teams from across the Nordics and Baltics!

 

EDRMedeso, together with Ansys part of Synopsys and Volvo Group, welcomes you to Chalmers for Ansys Student Team Meeting Nordic 2026!

The Ansys Student Team program supports university student teams working on engineering competitions and projects.

Whether you already use simulation in your team or are just getting started, the workshop day is designed around practical engineering challenges relevant to student teams.

Hands-on Workshops for Student Engineering Teams

During the day, we’ll show you how simulation can enhance every aspect of your work, whether you’re working on:

  • Structural challenges

  • Fluid dynamics

  • Electrification

Our expert-led, hands-on sessions will equip you to:

  • Improve performance

  • Test design ideas faster

  • Make smarter, simulation-backed decisions

 

Structures

Explore structural analysis and optimisation with Ansys Mechanical and related tools.

Structural Analysis
Key FEA topics including mesh generation, material properties, and strength and fatigue validation of structural parts.

Composite Design and Analysis
Using Ansys Composite PrepPost (ACP) for fibre orientation, lay-up definition and FEA analysis of fibre-reinforced composites.

Topology Optimization
Advanced optimisation techniques for designing lighter, stronger and more efficient structures while considering different manufacturing processes.

If you select Structures, you can also indicate which two sessions you are most interested in when registering.

Fluids (CFD)

Explore how computational fluid dynamics can support the design and development of your team’s vehicle or product.

The sessions will focus on practical CFD challenges relevant to student engineering teams, with opportunities to work hands-on and discuss your own engineering questions with our experts.

Electronics

Explore electric-machine and electromagnetic simulation, including topics and tools such as Ansys Motor-CAD and Ansys Maxwell.

The sessions will focus on practical electronics and electrification challenges relevant to student engineering teams.

 

Why Attend?

  • Get hands-on with Ansys simulation tools
  • Work on engineering challenges relevant to student teams
  • Get direct support from simulation experts
  • Learn from other student teams
  • Connect with teams from across the Nordics and Baltics
