| Lesson 1 -
Trusses |
|
utilizes simple, two-dimensional truss models to introduce basic ANSYS
concepts and operation principles. |
| |
| Lesson 2 -
Plane Stress, Plane Strain |
|
covers problems in plane stress and plane strain including a discussion of
determining stress concentration effects. Geometry from a CAD solid modeler is
imported into ANSYS for FEM analysis. |
| |
| Lesson 3 -
Axisymmetric Problems |
|
discusses the solution of axisymmetric problems wherein geometry, material
properties, loadings and boundary conditions are rotationally symmetric with respect to a
central axis. |
| |
| Lesson 4 -
Three-Dimensional Problems |
|
introduces three-dimensional tetrahedron and brick modeling and the various
options available for the analysis of complex geometries.
Importing models from
CAD systems is discussed. |
| |
| Lesson 5 -
Beams |
|
treats problems in structural analysis where the most suitable modeling choice
is a beam element. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional examples are presented. |
| |
| Lesson 6 -
Plates |
|
covers the use of shell (plate) elements for modeling of structural problems of
various types. |
| |
| Lesson 7 -
Heat Transfer, Thermal Stress |
|
presents tutorials in the solution of conduction/convection problems of heat
transfer in solids. It concludes with an analysis of a case of thermal stress in an object
whose temperature distribution has been determined by an ANSYS thermal analysis. |
| |
| Lesson 8 -
p-Method |
|
introduces the p-method of finite element analysis
wherein the accuracy of the
elements used in the solution is adjusted in order to give results,
which meet preset convergence requirements. |
| |
|
| Lesson 9 - Selected Topics |
|
covers additional short topics of interest to the ANSYS user. These
include
problems with multiple load cases, determining natural
frequencies of structural systems, and others. |
