      Hello, I would like to ask for some advice. I am planning to use ANSYS to simulate a fiber optic sensor applied to a flexible substrate for rocket engines. I aim to conduct material and structural simulations on the flexible film substrate, as well as perform simulation studies on its mechanical properties. Could you please advise which ANSYS modules I need to learn, which software I should download, and if there are any recommended courses for this purpose?

      Have a look in Learning. Structural would be Mechanical, you may also want to look at the optical solutions. The Student bundle has pretty much everything, but may lack certain tools.
