Explore the theory of finite element analysis, meshing with Ansys, and geometry creation, then perform static structural, static thermal, modal buckling, electric analyses, and computational fluid dynamics with fluid-structure interaction.
Identify a need, define it in measurable terms, and generate concepts. Evaluate prototypes using analytical, experimental, and numerical methods, with Ansys simulations to reduce cost and time.
Explaining ANSYS is the best option for performing FEA Simulations
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 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.
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).
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.
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.
ANSYS is the industry leading general purpose Finite Element Analysis software package used in both industry and academic institutions all over the world. It is used to simulate real world situations in order to analyse the performance of products in order to achieve the best possible design.
ANSYS uses Finite Element Method to analyse the responses of your design to various kinds of loadings ranging from forces, electric currents, heat to fluid flow with the goal of achieving the best design possible for your product. Moreover, you can use ANSYS for optimizing your design in accordance with your design criteria.
This course will start with the basic overview of Finite Element Method, which is the mathematical procedure used by ANSYS to conduct all kinds of analyses. And then you will learn how to implement that method inside the ANSYS Environment. You will learn all the steps of conducting an Engineering Analysis, Geometry Creation, Meshing, Setting Boundary Conditions and more. You will also be acquainted with two CAD Modelling Packages for Geometry Creation namely SpaceClaim and DesignModeller, which are already included in the ANSYS Software. You will also learn how you can import files other CAD Packages such as SolidWorks.
Moreover, this course will also introduce you to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and how you can conduct a CFD Analysis using ANSYS Fluent.
You will also learn how to use the results from various kinds of analyses in order to conduct a Topology Optimization study for your design in order to obtain a light-weight design for your product.
You will learn how to conduct following analyses in full in-depth follow-along video lectures Disciplines:
STATIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
THERMAL ANALYSIS
MODAL ANALYSIS
BUCKLING ANALYSIS
ELECTRIC ANALYSIS
TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
LAMINAR FLUID FLOW ANALYSIS
TURBULENT FLUID FLOW ANALYSIS
FLUID-SOLID INTERACTION PROBLEMS
New sections and analysis may be added too to this course, so stay tuned.
