Ansys Workbench is a general-purpose Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software that is widely used in the Industry and Academia to solve many different engineering problems through a virtual simulation of the Engineering Designs under consideration.
Ansys Workbench is applied to virtual simulate the product operating conditions and helps us to understand its behavior and helps us achieve very good design through simulation and optimization even before the product has been manufactured.
Using Ansys Workbench software we can Simulate problems from Different fields such as Structural, Vibrations, Heat transfer, Fluid Flows, and many more types.
This course is all about learning and completing the Essential training required for effective usage of the Ansys Workbench Software so that by the end of the course you will be able confidently to perform Meshing of geometries, Static Structural, Modal, Thermal, Thermo-structural, buckling analysis using this Ansys Workbench software. you will also get acquainted with the Design Modeler, Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Engineering Data, and other important modules in Ansys Workbench Software.
This course is divided into Theoretical and Practical Sessions.
In the Theoretical session, you will be introduced to the basic theoretical concepts regarding the topics of FEA, Meshing, Static Structural, Modal, Thermal, Thermo-structural, and buckling analysis.
In the Practical sessions, you will be using industrial and academic examples for learning how to apply Ansys Workbench software for efficiently performing different kinds of Simulations such as:
- Static Structural Analysis
- 3-D Static Structural Analysis
- 2-D Static Structural Analysis
- 1-D Static Structural Analysis
- Modal Analysis
- Free Vibration Analysis
- Forced Vibration Analysis (Pre-Stressed)
