ANSYS WorkBench – Design Simulation Introduction

Course    S_DS5

No. of days    2

Audience

The ANSYS Workbench is a new-generation solution from ANSYS that provides powerful methods for interacting with the ANSYS solver functionality. This environment provides a unique integration with CAD systems and the design process, enabling the best CAE results.

The ANSYS WorkBench – Design Simulation Introduction training course is for Analysts using ANSYS WorkBench, particularly those with experience of the ANSYS Classic Environment.

Recommended background knowledge

• Engineering degree or engineering experience
• Basic functional familiarity with computers.

Topics Covered

• Simulation Basics – Launching Simulation, Startup Panel, Basic Procedure
• General Pre Processing – Geometry Branch, Contact, Meshing, Named Selections, Coordinate Systems
• Static Structural Analysis – Geometry, Assemblies (Solid Body Contact), Loads and Supports, Result and Post Processing.
• Free Vibration Analysis - Free Vibration Analysis Procedure, Free Vibration with Pre-Stress Analysis
• Thermal Analysis – Geometry, Assemblies (Solid Contact), Loads, Solution Options, Results and Post Processing
• Linear Buckling Analysis – Basics of Linear Buckling
• Shape Finder – Shape Optimization Procedure
• Results Post Processing – Viewing Results, Scoping Results, Exporting Results, Coordinate Systems and Directional Results, Solutions Combinations, Stress Singularities, Convergence, Report Generator
• CAD & Parameters – CAD Interoperability, Multiple Design Studies, Parameter Manager
• Fatigue Module – Fatigue Overview, Fatigue Procedure (Basic Case), Fatigue Procedure (Variable Amplitude Case), Fatigue (Non-proportional Case)

Sample Workshops

• Simulation Basics – Use Stress Wizard for Linear Structural Analysis
• Mesh Control – Use the Various Mesh Controls to Enhance the Mesh on a Crankshaft
• Linear Structural Analysis – Analyse an Assembly with a Pre-Load
• Free Vibration Analysis – Investigate Effect of Changing Model on Natural Frequencies
• Thermal Analysis – Calculate Distribution of Temperatures and Heat Flux in a Part
• Linear Buckling Analysis – Compare Linear Buckling Results with Handbook Results
• Shape Finder Analysis – Indicate Potential Geometry Changes that Result in Part Mass Reduction
• Advanced Results Post Processing – Isolate Parts of a Complex Assembly for Advanced DesignSimulation Post Processing
• Parameter Manager – Use the Parameter Manager to Change the Load Magnitude and Material Properties of a Model and Solve All Scenarios at One Time
• Fatigue Analysis of a Con-rod with Fully Reversed and Random Load Environments

Objectives

• The course provides students with the ability to operate ANSYS WorkBench Environment and basic understanding of analysis concepts and results interpretation.

On-site presentation:

• ANSYS Workbench – Design Simulation Introduction is a 3-day seminar, but readily lends itself to reduction to a 2-day seminar for on-site presentation by the omission of sections that may have no relevance to customer’s requirements: e.g.
  • if customer does not have the Fatigue option, then the associated chapter would be omitted
  • if the customer only requires Structural analysis then the Thermal Analysis section would be omitted
  • if the customer only uses PC’s then the Asynchronous Solution section would be omitted.
