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.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge.
