Who is the course for

This course is for engineers who wish to learn how to use ANSYS Workbench effectively and efficiently and have a basic understanding of structures and how they respond to mechanical and thermal loads.

Each course topic is followed by hands on workshops and exercises.

Duration

2 Days

Course Aims

• To provide students with the ability to operate ANSYS Workbench Simulation and give a basic understanding of simulation concepts and results interpretation.
• To use Workbench Mechanical to understand the characteristic behaviour of a structure.
• To use Workbench Mechanical to optimise the design of a structure.
• To create a comprehensive report to distribute to customers and colleagues.
• To carry out procedures for streamlining FEA simulations through the use of more advanced tools and techniques.
• Provide useful precursory information for more advanced ANSYS Mechanical training courses.
