Who is the course for

This course is designed for people wishing to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and who have little or no ANSYS experience.

Duration

3 days

Course Aims

• Manoeuvre efficiently within the ANSYS Graphical user interface (GUI).
• To make preliminary decisions on the analysis type to be performed.
• To build and mesh 2D and 3D models, apply loads and obtain solutions for single or multiple load step scenarios.
• To verify the results of an analysis. Display results, create animations and plot results along a path.
• To easily facilitate multiple analysis by using parameters to build the model.
• To customise your ANSYS operating environment.
