MSc Internship: agentic AI for ansys mechanical and mapdl workflows

Are you passionate about finite element analysis and curious about how artificial intelligence can transform engineering workflows? At Demcon multiphysics, you'll have the opportunity to explore the intersection of simulation technology and agentic AI. During this internship, you will investigate how AI agents can support and automate ansys mechanical and mechanical APDL workflows, helping engineers work more efficiently while ensuring reliable and transparent engineering processes.

As an intern, you will explore how agentic AI can be applied within finite element analysis environments. You will work with ansys mechanical, mechanical APDL, python automation, and modern AI technologies to assess the possibilities and limitations of AI-assisted engineering workflows.

Your activities may include:

• Setting up, solving, and evaluating structural simulations in ansys mechanical and mechanical APDL;
• Investigating how AI coding assistants can generate and modify python and APDL scripts;
• Connecting AI agents to ansys environments through available python interfaces;
• Developing demonstrators in which AI agents support simulation, post-processing, or reporting tasks;
• Exploring how AI can inspect model information and solver output;
• Evaluating different levels of automation, from AI-assisted scripting to partially autonomous workflows;
• Exploring standardized interfaces such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect engineering tools with AI systems;
• Documenting findings and assessing the practical applicability of Agentic AI in engineering environments.

• You are pursuing a master's degree in mechanical engineering or a related technical discipline;
• You have an interest in finite element analysis, artificial intelligence, and engineering automation;
• You have experience with python programming;
• You possess a basic understanding of structural mechanics;
• You are eager to learn more about ansys mechanical and mechanical APDL;
• Experience with ansys, APDL scripting, APIs, or large language models is a plus, but not required;
• You are analytical, curious, and enjoy exploring innovative technologies in a practical engineering context.
