Which one should you pick?
- You want structural analysis (FEA). Structural Analysis using Ansys Workbench is the direct route. If you are new to FEA theory, Basics of FEA - Explicit and Implicit FEA (12 weeks) builds it first. Both are ₹40,000 short courses.
- You want CFD. Introduction to GUI based CFD using ANSYS Fluent (12 weeks) covers the core workflow; Introduction to Aero-Thermal simulation using ANSYS Fluent adds airfoils, rotating machinery and noise. Turbulence and RANS Modelling is for people who want to understand the models, not just pick them from a menu.
- You are a mechanical fresher aiming for a CAE or CFD job. One tool is rarely enough for a fresher. The Post Graduate Program in Computational Fluid Dynamics (48 weeks, 28 projects) pairs Fluent with CONVERGE and OpenFOAM; the Post Graduate Program in CAE (48 weeks, 17 projects) pairs Ansys Workbench with HyperMesh, ANSA and LS-DYNA. The Pre-Graduate Program in Finite Element Analysis (16 weeks) is a shorter start while you are in college.
- You are heading for EV roles. Battery Thermal Management using Ansys Fluent and MATLAB (6 weeks) and Electric Motor Design using MATLAB and ANSYS Maxwell (12 weeks) are the focused options; the PG Program in Battery Technology for Mechanical Engineers (32 weeks) and the IIT Roorkee EV & Autonomous Vehicle Technology program (12 months, Ansys Maxwell) go wider.
What is ANSYS?
ANSYS is a family of engineering simulation software, now part of Synopsys. Engineers use it to test a design on the computer before it is built: will this bracket crack, how hot will this battery pack get, how much drag does this car body make, how much torque does this motor give.
Think of it as a virtual test lab with different rooms. Ansys Mechanical (run inside Workbench) does structural FEA: stress, vibration, contact, impact. Ansys Fluent does CFD: airflow, heat transfer, combustion. Ansys Maxwell does electromagnetics for motors and transformers. SpaceClaim prepares and fixes the geometry for all of them.
Every one of those rooms works the same way: cut the shape into small elements or cells (meshing), apply loads and boundary conditions, solve the equations, then check whether the answer is believable. The software is learnable in weeks; judging whether the answer is right is what the theory in a course is for.
What an ANSYS course covers
- FEA fundamentals. Strength of materials from an FEA view, 1D, 2D and 3D elements, and implicit vs explicit solvers (Basics of FEA - Explicit and Implicit FEA, 12 weeks).
- Structural analysis in Workbench. SpaceClaim and Workbench basics, static structural and contact analysis, modal and frequency analysis, transient, rigid body and impact analysis, and bolt pre-tension (Structural Analysis using Ansys Workbench).
- CFD in Fluent. Laminar and turbulent flows, steady and transient simulations, meshing strategies, external aerodynamics, conjugate heat transfer, discrete phase modelling, user-defined functions and basic reacting flows.
- Aero-thermal and turbulence. Flow over a NACA0012 airfoil, moving reference frame vs moving mesh, transient flow over a compressor, aeroacoustics; and a separate course on turbulence physics and RANS models.
- Battery thermal management. Cell electrochemical and equivalent-circuit models in MATLAB, then thermal and flow modelling of a battery pack in Fluent.
- Electric motor design. DC, AC, permanent magnet and reluctance motors, torque-speed curves, then electromagnetic FEA and an interior PM motor design in Ansys Maxwell.
- Geometry and 3D printing. Building and repairing geometry in SpaceClaim and designing parts for additive manufacturing.

Jobs after an ANSYS course
Typical job titles: CAE engineer, FEA or structural analysis engineer, CFD engineer, thermal analysis engineer, simulation engineer and graduate engineer trainee in a CAE team. Most fresher openings are at engineering service companies and at the R&D centres of automotive, aerospace and industrial companies.
From Skill-Lync's own placement records (as of 15 Nov 2026): in the CFD domain (n = 240) the median starting salary is 3.5 LPA, middle half 2.8 to 4.5 LPA; for the job title CFD Engineer (n = 122) it is 3.55 LPA. In the CAE domain (n = 456) the median is 3.2 LPA, middle half 2.8 to 4.0 LPA; for FEA / CAE Engineer (n = 249) it is 3.3 LPA. These domains include learners who used other solvers too.
Companies that hired the most Skill-Lync CFD learners: Mechartes (9), Cyient (9), Analyzer CAE (8), Expleo Engineering (8), Alten (7) and Cummins (7). For CAE: Cyient (37), Xitadel (28), ARAI (18), Expleo Engineering (15) and Tata Elxsi (15). See more on recent placements.
These are self-reported starting offers from learners who told us they were placed, mostly in 2021-2023, so treat them as a starting point and not as the whole market.

Before you pay
You can practise for free, within limits. Ansys gives free student licences (Ansys Student with Mechanical, CFD and Discovery; Electronics Desktop Student with Maxwell; LS-DYNA Student) after your institution verifies you are a student (checked 15 Nov 2026 on Ansys's site). Student versions cap model size, so they suit coursework, not production models.
Clicking through ANSYS is not analysis. Interviews ask why you chose that element, that turbulence model or that mesh size, and how you know the result is right. Pick a course that teaches the theory and makes you validate results, not one that only shows menus.
ANSYS-only courses are cheaper elsewhere. CAD/CAE training centres and online marketplaces sell ANSYS basics for a few thousand rupees. What the Skill-Lync fee pays for is industry projects with reviews, doubt-clearing support and, on the programs, placement support. Compare syllabus and projects, not only price.
ANSYS course FAQs
What is the fee for an ANSYS course at Skill-Lync?
As of 16 Nov 2026: ANSYS short courses are ₹40,000 each. The Pre-Graduate Program in Finite Element Analysis is ₹1,50,000 (EMI from ₹7,841 a month), the PG programs that use ANSYS are ₹2,75,000 (EMI from ₹14,375 a month), and the IIT Roorkee EV & Autonomous Vehicle Technology program is ₹2,00,000. Fees are inclusive of all charges.
How long does it take to learn ANSYS?
The structural or CFD workflow takes one 12-week short course to learn properly, at about 2 hours a day. Becoming job-ready as a CAE or CFD engineer, with theory, several solvers and portfolio projects, takes a 16-week pre-graduate program or a 32 to 48-week PG program.
Is ANSYS free for students?
Yes, within limits. As of 15 Nov 2026, Ansys offers free student licences of Ansys Student (Mechanical, CFD, Discovery), Electronics Desktop Student (including Maxwell) and LS-DYNA Student, once your institution verifies your student status. Student versions limit model size, so very large meshes need a commercial licence.
Which is better to learn: ANSYS Workbench or Fluent?
They do different jobs. Workbench with Ansys Mechanical is for structural analysis: stress, vibration, contact, impact. Fluent is for fluid flow and heat transfer. Choose by the job you want: FEA/CAE roles need Mechanical, CFD and thermal roles need Fluent. Both run from the same Workbench environment.
Is ANSYS enough to get a CAE or CFD job?
Usually not on its own for a fresher. Job descriptions ask for FEA or CFD fundamentals, one or two solvers (ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, STAR-CCM+ or CONVERGE), a pre-processor such as HyperMesh or ANSA for CAE, and projects you can defend. ANSYS is a strong first solver; add the theory and projects.
Who can join an ANSYS course?
Mechanical, automobile, aerospace and production engineering students and graduates for the FEA and CFD courses; electrical engineers for the Maxwell motor design course. Basic strength of materials helps for FEA, and basic fluid mechanics and heat transfer for CFD.
