Introduction to Ansys Mechanical for Ocean Loading

Course Overview

This course focuses on practical workshops combined with lecture sessions in order to give advice and useful experience for ocean loads application in Mechanical. The aim is to understand the basic workflow to study submerged or semi-submerged slender structures.

This training course describes analyses with ocean loading in the case of slender bodies.

Prerequisites

  • Completion of Ansys Mechanical Getting Started course is required.
  • General familiarity with the Workbench Project Page, Engineering Data and the Mechanical Interface is assumed.
  • General familiarity with beams models simulation is required.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer workshops to give you the knowledge and confidence you will need to apply what you have learned to do your own designs.
