Introduction to ANSYS - Part 2
Audience
The introduction part 2 course is for ANSYS users familiar with the basics, but wish to broaden their knowledge of the capabilities of ANSYS. Techniques covered by this course give a good grounding for further courses as well as enhancing efficiency for analyses.
Recommended background knowledge
- Engineering degree or engineering experience
- Familiarity with the ANSYS program (Course S_I1 or equivalent experience)
Topics Covered
- Using array parameters - definition, use, array operations
- Coupling & constraint equations - definition, use, pin joints, frictionless surfaces, enforcing symmetry, connecting dissimilar meshes, interference fits, rigid regions
- Element features - element coordinate system, element table, surface effect elements
- Beam modelling - definition, meshing, analysis
- Submodelling - basic procedure
- Modal analysis
- Nonlinear analysis - concepts, typical procedure
- Bonded contact - using surface to surface contact elements to model bonded connections
- Macros - creation, macro arguments, branching, looping, guidelines.
Sample Workshops
- Using array parameters to determine standard deviation of stress distribution in a wheel
- Use of coupling on an impeller blade
- Using surface effect elements to apply a torque to a bolt
- Beam Modelling Analysis of a building frame
- Determination of stress in a crank shaft using submodeling
- Natural frequencies of a U-bracket
- Large deflection analysis of a shallow arch
- Using bonded contact for a swaybar
- Modelling of a turbine blade with different mesh densities
- Creation of a macro to verify applied pressures
Objectives
To apply the knowledge in course S_I1 to ANSYS capabilities used in many engineering analyses.
