u/No_Compote_5800

Hi everyone,

I’m 21 and aiming for a career in aircraft engineering. I already have a background in Industrial Product Design and I am specifically focusing on composite materials (stratification, infusion, and modeling).

I’m familiar with CATIA V5 and ANSYS, but I want to level up.

1. For composites, is ANSYS ACP the industry standard I should master, or should I look into others?
2. What advanced aerospace structures topics should I study to complement my materials knowledge?
3. Any specific projects (like drone parts or marine structures) that look good on a resume for aero?

I’m ready to dive deep into self-study. Thanks for the guidance!

Hi everyone,

I'm an aeronautical engineering student looking to master ANSYS for the industry. Which specific modules and skills should I prioritize to be job-ready?

I’m particularly curious about:

• ANSYS ACP (Composites)
• CFD (Fluent/CFX)
• Meshing standards for complex aero-structures
• Explicit Dynamics (Crash/Impact)

What are the "must-haves" for a junior engineer in your experience?
