Ansys Mechanical Getting Started: Basics

This course will give you an understanding of the complete end-to-end procedure for conducting a basic linear static structural analysis and you will be able to apply it to the solution of your own analysis problems. Just as importantly, you will gain a basic understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of your solution and the accuracy of your results. You will also have a firm foundation for studying intermediate analysis techniques in Ansys Mechanical™ structural finite element analysis software.

Learning Outcome:

Following the completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Carry out the basic end-to-end static structural analysis process in Ansys Mechanical.
• Describe several of the considerations that are important in the planning of a useful and appropriate analysis model.
• Demonstrate a basic understanding of viewing control, entity selection, geometry import, material property definition and assignment, coordinate systems, mesh control, contact regions, simple loads, supports, and results display.
• Understand the first principles of solution accuracy and model validation.
