Ansys Mechanical Getting Started: Basics (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

New to Ansys Mechanical? This is the place to start. After completing this course, you will understand the complete end-to-end procedure for conducting a basic linear static structural analysis and will be able to apply it to the solution of your own analysis problems. Just as importantly, you will gain a basic understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of your solution and the accuracy of your results. You will also have a firm foundation for studying intermediate analysis techniques in Ansys Mechanical.

Prerequisites

  • A technical education and a background in the fundamentals of finite element analysis are recommended. An engineering degree is not required.

Target Audience

Mechanical Engineers, including Vibrations Engineers, Thermal Engineers, Impact Dynamics Engineers, and most other subdisciplines; Mechanical Design Engineers; Mechanical Designers. 

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge.
