Introduction to Ansys Data Processing Framework

Course Overview

This course teaches the essential skills you will need to perform data processing using Ansys Data Processing Framework. The aim of the course is that you become autonomous in creating user defined workflows for your data processing (specific results post processing for example). DPF offers limitless possibilities for data transformation, learn how you could take benefit from this. 

Instructor demonstrations and hands-on workshops cover every aspect you will need to create your own DPF workflows. 

The course covers DPF as a stand-alone tool as well as DPF in Mechanical

This course proposes a complete description of DPF concepts. It also specifies in which situations DPF can be used. It shows the expected outputs when using DPF in Mechanical and / or DPF as a stand-alone tool. 

This course illustrates the use of DPF operators and how to chain them to create workflows. It also teaches get the right information for script creation, from the help documentation.  

Module 03 covers DPF as a stand-alone tool. Module 01 to Module 03 do not require any knowledge about Ansys Mechanical. This learning path is accessible to users from any discipline. 

Module 04 covers DPF in Mechanical.

Prerequisites

  • An experience in Python scripting is recommended.
  • Knowledge about Ansys Mechanical is also recommended.

Target Audience

This course targets the structural mechanics engineers who would like to create a data processing workflow. It is also intended for developers who would like to create standard data processing workflows.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. 

Learning Path

Learning Outcome

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Explain in which area users can take benefit from using DPF.
  • Demonstrate how DPF can be installed and accessed.
  • Explain DPF concepts.
  • Manipulate data with DPF.
  • Employ operators to create workflows.
  • Use DPF tools to transform simulation results from Ansys Mechanical.
  • Explain in which case DPF as a standalone tool is preferred on DPF in Mechanical.
