Model development for simulation using PyMAPDL - Lesson 3

This lesson explores modeling of a pressure-based touch screen using PyMAPDL. This lesson, a part of Ansys Innovation Course features the modeling capabilities of PyMAPDL . Detailing the finite element model, strain data extraction, use of Hardpoints, are some of the topics discussed in the following lesson. Advance techniques like the use of Python Dictionaries to define sensor locations efficiently, saving node locations for applied load input for the concerned example for synthetic dataset creation are also showcased along with a hint of a feature of Pools in PyMAPDL.
