Introduction to ANSYS Mechanical
Welcome!
Welcome to the ANSYS Mechanical application introductory training course!
This training course covers the basics of using ANSYS Mechanical in performingstructural and thermal analyses.
It is intended for all new or occasional ANSYS Mechanical users, regardless of the CAD software used.
Course Objectives:
–General understanding of the user interface, as related to geometry import, meshing, application of loads and supports, and postprocessing
–Procedure for performing FEA simulations, including linear static, modal, and harmonic structural analyses and nonlinear steady-state thermal analyses
–Utilizing parameters for ‘what-if’ scenarios
–Interfacing with the ANSYS solverfor more advanced functionality
•Training Courses are also available covering the use of other Workbench modules (e.g. DesignModeler, Design Exploration, etc.) .
