The CAD Club of MBU organized an engaging and hands-on event titled “CAD-X: Innovation Through Simulation” on 18th September 2025 at Room No. 2707 from 11:45 AM to 1:00 PM. The event brought together enthusiastic students to explore the world of computer-aided design and simulation in a practical, collaborative setting. The main aim of the event was to help students strengthen their problem-solving skills by combining engineering knowledge with CAD simulation tools.
The faculty coordinator, Dr. S. Lakshmi Narayana, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, successfully coordinated the event. Student coordinators Mr. M. Yousuf Ali and Mr. V. Lokesh from III B.Tech V Semester played a key role in organizing and managing the session. A total of 41 students took part in the activity, showing great interest and energy throughout. They worked in groups, supported each other, and tackled the challenges with focus and enthusiasm.
During the session, students were divided into 10 groups and given design and simulation problems to solve using ANSYS Workbench along with manual calculations. Each group collaborated to model, simulate, and validate their solutions. This approach helped them understand the importance of simulation tools in engineering and how to compare computational results with hand calculations. The activity not only tested their technical skills but also boosted their confidence in applying concepts practically.
Participants walked away with a deeper understanding of CAD tools and their role in solving engineering problems. They gained hands-on experience with ANSYS Workbench, improved their analytical thinking, and learned how to work effectively in teams. The event also sparked interest in materials science and design validation.
At the end of the session, the organizers thanked all the participants for their active involvement and positive spirit. The faculty coordinator appreciated the smooth coordination by the student organizers, and the winning team was recognized for their strong analytical and design skills. The event left a lasting impression and set a benchmark for future technical activities at MBU.
