ANSYS Mechanical Topology Optimization - (Also available as Self-paced Learning)

Overview

This course is designed to provide the knowledge about the optimization workflow in ANSYS Workbench. The complete end-to-end procedure is shown from the original CAD to the final calculation on the optimized shape.

The course includes information about the optimization methods and the general theory. It shows the basic as well as the advanced definitions of optimization for static applications. The optimization in dynamics is also covered in this course.

A part of this course focuses on the geometry tools used in SpaceClaim to prepare and repair the STL files.

The materials include an application example that can be treated as a workshop/discussion time to review the general workflow for optimization.

Learning Outcome

On completion of this training course, you will be able to:

 

  • Have a full knowledge of the workflow  

  • Understand the Optimization Theory

  • Prepare the STL files in SpaceClaim: reconstruct the optimized structure

  • Understand the basic response and manufacturing constraints

  • Consider multiple load cases

  • Solve a Topology Optimization in dynamics

  • Be familiar with lattice structures

 

Prerequisites

A technical education and a background in the fundamentals of finite element analysis are recommended.

The completion of the following courses is strongly advised:

  • ANSYS Mechanical Getting Started

  • Introduction to ANSYS SpaceClaim for FEA Users

Target Audience: Engineers and Designers looking for optimized designs.

Teaching Method: Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.

Self-paced Learning: Complete a class on your own schedule at your own pace. Scope is equivalent to Instructor led classes. Includes video lecture, workshops and input files. All our Self-Paced video courses are only available with an ANSYS Learning Hub subscription. Register for a subscription using the tab below or contact training@ansys.com for more information.

Learning Options: Training materials for this course are available with a ANSYS Learning Hub Subscription. If there is no active public schedule available, private training can be arranged. Please contact us.
