FEA & CFD with ANSYS Mechanical & ANSYS Fluent- For Beginner

Explore how finite element method turns complex geometries into simple elements through discretization and meshing, enabling numerical analysis of structural stress, strain, buckling, and heat transfer.

Explore the theory of finite element analysis, linking nodal displacements to stresses and strains via the stiffness and global stiffness matrices, boundary conditions, and Ansys simulations.

Explore the types of elements in finite element analysis, including 1d line elements, 2d surface elements, and 3d solid elements, and learn how node count affects accuracy and compute time.

Create the model geometry, assign materials, and mesh the domain for finite element analysis in Ansys. Apply boundary conditions, set output variables, run the analysis, and post-process results.

Create a custom material, assign essential properties for your analysis, and use filters to target engineering data for static structural or thermal analyses, including density, melting temperature, and thermal conductivity.

Import geometries from other CAD packages into Ansys, using STEP or IGES files, and configure CAD interfaces during installation for smooth SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, and SpaceClaim workflows.

Learn to create geometries in the Ansys Discovery app, meshing and performing quick analyses in a single workspace, with SpaceClaim-like tools and a path toward Workbench for detailed studies.

Master meshing in ANSYS Mechanical through discretization of geometry into small elements, import geometry from SolidWorks, generate the mesh, and prepare for static structural and steady state thermal analyses.

Understand global mesh settings that govern the entire mesh, with local options for targeted regions, and tune element size, order, adaptive sizing, and solver type (mechanical or CFD).

Learn how to configure meshing cores in ANSYS and assess mesh quality using aspect ratio and skewness to ensure a good, analysis-ready mesh.

Perform static structural analysis of a simply supported I-beam in ANSYS, assign structural steel, apply two region-specific loads (500 and 300 N), and analyze deflection and von Mises stresses.

Perform a steady state thermal analysis of a metal plate in Ansys, applying 25°C on one face and 100 W on the other to map temperature and heat flux.

Conduct a steady state thermal analysis of a cylindrical heat exchanger with copper inner tube, water region, and stainless steel outer tube, showing temperature distribution and heat flux in Ansys.

Conducts a steady state thermal analysis of a heat sink under natural convection, comparing aluminum and copper to evaluate heat transfer and dissipation.

combine steady-state thermal analysis with static structural analysis to compute thermo-structural stresses in a copper alloy rod under heat flow, using temperature and heat flux results as inputs for analyses.

Perform a free-free modal analysis of a tuning fork in ansys mechanical, iterating material changes, meshing, and mode evaluation to identify natural frequencies and possible resonances.

Conduct a pre-stress modal analysis of the tuning fork by first performing static structural analysis, applying gravity and fixed support, then solving for 12 modal frequencies under prestress.
