The primary objective of this Ansys Mechanical Training class is to teach participants Finite Element Analysis in Ansys Mechanical Workbench. Thus, upon completion of this course, participants will be able to set up, solve, and diagnose their own Structural Analyses in the Ansys Mechanical Workbench.

Ansys Mechanical Workbench and a direct connection to Native CAD (Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, Solidworks, etc).

• The role of FEA in Product Development

• The best Time Management for using FEA & CAD together

• A Wide Variety of Geometry Preparation and Meshing Techniques

• Best Practices in Analyzing Parts and Assemblies

• Physics include: Static Structural, Modal, and Buckling

• Communicating with both Qualitative and Quantitative Results Post-processing

• Applications include Connecting Rod assembly, Electronic Circuit Board, Sheet metal, Plastic, and more!

• Virtually Test your design, quickly and accurately.

• Optimize Your Design by analyzing dozens of iterations automatically.

• Design Higher Performing Products which are both lighter and stiffer.

• Gain Confidence in your analyses

• Spend Less Time Troubleshooting errors, by learning the best practices.

• Discuss ways to Validate and Verify your model by correlating simulation results to test data.

This class is specifically tailored for designers and those with a technical background and prior experience designing in any 3D CAD Platform. Therefore, an engineering degree is not a prerequisite, however, an open mind and a creative spirit are!
