ANSYS Workbench Release 11 Software Tutorial with MultiMedia CD is
directed toward using finite element analysis to solve engineering
problems. Unlike most textbooks which focus solely on teaching
the theory of finite element analysis or tutorials that only
illustrate the steps that must be followed to operate a finite
element program, ANSYS Workbench Software Tutorial with MultiMedia
CD integrates both. This textbook and CD are aimed at the
student or practitioner who wishes to begin making use of this powerful
software tool.
The primary purpose of this tutorial is to introduce new users
to the ANSYS Workbench software, by illustrating how it can be used
to solve a variety of problems. To help new users begin to
understand how good finite element models are built, this tutorial
takes the approach that FEA results should always be compared with other
data results. In several chapters, the finite
element tutorial problem is compared with manual calculations so
that the reader can compare and contrast the finite element results
with the manual solution. Most of the examples and some
of the exercises make reference to existing analytical solutions
In addition to the step- by-step tutorials, introductory
material is provided that covers the capabilities and limitations of
the different element and solution types. The majority of
topics and examples presented are oriented to stress analysis, with
the exception of natural frequency analysis in chapter 12, and heat
transfer in chapter 13.
This textbook comes with a MultiMedia CD. The tutorials are
presented in both written and multimedia formats to accommodate
different learning styles and increase the learning curve of
students. Also contained on this CD are the student
files. The student files contain both model files and a
tutorial material database used in some of the tutorials and
exercises.
