This course is designed to bridge the gap between procedurally oriented training seminars and mathematically oriented finite element method classes. The course material is derived from many decades of applied FEA experience and is presented in a clear style developed from years of FEA training and support. It presents a variety of topics relevant to every engineer or manager of engineers engaged in the simulation of thermal and mechanical systems with the use of finite element software.
Learning Outcomes:
- Make informed decisions regarding adequate mesh density and the application of various element formulations and integration schemes to produce simulation results with confidence.
- Apply proper element types (solid, shell, beam), make use of submodeling, and apply various types of symmetry to produce efficient solutions while capturing analysis intent.
- Recognize stress singularities and how geometry, mesh, and loading conditions may either contribute to or alleviate them.
- Benefit from a pre- and post-processing checklist designed to prevent the most common sources of errors when performing finite element simulations.
Prerequisites:
- Knowledge of finite element theory
- Workshops are based upon working knowledge of Ansys Mechanical™ structural finite element analysis software.
- Basic understanding of Ansys Mechanical Software.
Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2023R2 release.
