Ansys Workbench Tutorial

Finite Element Simulations with ANSYS Workbench 2020 is a comprehensive and easy to understand workbook. Printed in full color, it utilizes rich graphics and step-by-step instructions to guide you through learning how to perform finite element simulations using ANSYS Workbench. Twenty seven real world case studies are used throughout the book. Many of these case studies are industrial or research projects that you build from scratch. Prebuilt project files are available for download should you run into any problems. Companion videos, that demonstrate exactly how to perform each tutorial, are also available. Relevant background knowledge is reviewed whenever necessary. To be efficient, the review is conceptual rather than mathematical. Key concepts are inserted whenever appropriate and summarized at the end of each chapter. Additional exercises or extension research problems are provided as homework at the end of each chapter. A learning approach emphasizing hands-on experiences is utilized though this entire book. A typical chapter consists of six sections. The first two provide two step-by-step examples. The third section tries to complement the exercises by providing a more systematic view of the chapter subject. The following two sections provide more exercises. The final section provides review problems. Who this book is for This book is designed to be used mainly as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students. It will work well in: • a finite element simulation course taken before any theory-intensive courses • an auxiliary tool used as a tutorial in parallel during a Finite Element Methods course • an advanced, application oriented, course taken after a Finite Element Methods course

The exercises in ANSYS Workbench Tutorial Release 14 introduce you to effective engineering problem solving through the use of this powerful modeling, simulation and optimization software suite. Topics that are covered include solid modeling, stress analysis, conduction/convection heat transfer, thermal stress, vibration, elastic buckling and geometric/material nonlinearities. It is designed for practicing and student engineers alike and is suitable for use with an organized course of instruction or for self-study. The compact presentation includes just over 100 end-of-chapter problems covering all aspects of the tutorials.

Presents tutorials for the solid modeling, simulation, and optimization program ANSYS Workbench.

ANSYS Workbench Release 12 Software Tutorial with MultiMedia CD is directed toward using finite element analysis to solve engineering problems. Unlike most textbooks which focus solely on teaching the theory of finite element analysis or tutorials that only illustrate the steps that must be followed to operate a finite element program, ANSYS Workbench Software Tutorial with MultiMedia CD integrates both. This textbook and CD are aimed at the student or practitioner who wishes to begin making use of this powerful software tool. The primary purpose of this tutorial is to introduce new users to the ANSYS Workbench software, by illustrating how it can be used to solve a variety of problems. To help new users begin to understand how good finite element models are built, this tutorial takes the approach that FEA results should always be compared with other data results. In several chapters, the finite element tutorial problem is compared with manual calculations so that the reader can compare and contrast the finite element results with the manual solution. Most of the examples and some of the exercises make reference to existing analytical solutions In addition to the step-by-step tutorials, introductory material is provided that covers the capabilities and limitations of the different element and solution types. The majority of topics and examples presented are oriented to stress analysis, with the exception of natural frequency analysis in chapter 11, and heat transfer in chapter 12.

• Step-by-step tutorials teach you to use Ansys Workbench 2024 • Covers stress analysis, conduction/convection heat transfer, thermal stress, vibration, buckling and nonlinear problems • Includes an introduction to composites, design optimization, and electro-thermal-deflection coupling • Designed for both practicing and student engineers • End of chapter problems reinforce and develop the skills learned in each tutorial To understand Ansys Workbench quickly and well, you need to learn from an expert, study in short bursts of time, and complete hands-on exercises. Ansys Workbench Tutorial: Structural & Thermal Analysis Using Ansys Workbench Release 2024 checks all those boxes. Ansys Workbench is a powerful and widely used solid modeling, simulation and optimization software program. This textbook uses tutorials to cover key features of the software: stress analysis, conduction/convection heat transfer, thermal stress, vibration, buckling, nonlinear problems with an introduction to composites, design optimization, and electro-thermal-deflection coupling. To use Ansys Workbench Tutorial effectively, you should understand the fundamentals of engineering. It is designed for practicing and student engineers alike and is suitable for use with an organized course of instruction or for self-study. If you are just starting with Ansys Workbench, read the introduction and chapters one and two first. Experienced Workbench users can read the material in any order desired. Since each tutorial can be mastered in a short period of time, the entire book quickly provides a complete, basic introduction to the concepts and capabilities of Ansys Workbench. Engineers routinely use solid modelers together with the Finite Element Method (FEM) to solve everyday problems of modeling for form/fit/function, stress, deformation, heat transfer, fluid flow, electromagnetics, etc. using commercial as well as special purpose computer codes. FEM tools like the ones found in Ansys Workbench are important components in the skill set of today's engineers. In Ansys Workbench Tutorial, the reader practices these skills by creating the models for the tutorials with DesignModeler, which comes with Ansys Workbench, or the solid modeler (parametric modeling system) of their choice. Chapter one reviews a variety of ways to create and access geometry for each project you complete. In each tutorial, the author completes analyses with you, explains the results, and touches on alternative ways to accomplish tasks. The author’s straightforward and focused style shows you how an expert in Ansys Workbench thinks and works, helping cement your proficiency with the software and increasing your productivity in class and in your career. End-of-Chapter Problems Apply what you learned in the tutorials to solve end-of-chapter problems. Problems advance in difficulty as the tutorials do. Some problems challenge learners to create a new model and find stresses, strains, deflections, factor of safety, natural frequencies, pressure, buckling load, and more, using methods discussed in the tutorials. Other problems start with a model and a task and then ask you to consider that same model using different materials, after changing the size or conditions, or by comparing two results. Tackling the problems from different angles covers all aspects of each topic, prepares you for real-life modeling challenges, and helps you learn Ansys Workbench more thoroughly.
