July 30, 1999 Introduction Chapter One Welcome! Welcome to the ANSYS Workbench Simulation introductory training course! This training course covers the basics of using Simulation in performing structural and thermal analyses. It is intended for all new or occasional Simulation users, regardless of the CAD software used. Although some aspects of interfacing with ANSYS will be covered, this course is not intended for users wishing to work primarily in the traditional ANSYS environment. Those users should consider taking Introduction to ANSYS Parts 1 and 2 Training courses. This course covers the Simulation module of ANSYS Workbench. DesignModeler, DesignXplorer, FE Modeler, and CFX-Mesh modules of ANSYS Workbench are covered in separate classes. Course Objectives To teach the basics of using Simulation in the following areas: General understanding of the user interface, as related to geometry import, meshing, application of loads and supports, and postprocessing Procedure for performing FEA simulations, including linear static, modal, and harmonic structural analyses and nonlinear steady-state thermal analyses Utilizing parameters for ‘what-if’ scenarios Interfacing with the ANSYS solver for more advanced functionality Course Materials The Training Manual you have is an exact copy of the slides. Workshop descriptions and instructions are included in the Workshop Supplement. Copies of the workshop files are available (upon request) from the instructor. Several advanced training courses are available on specific topics. See the training course schedule on the ANSYS homepage / under “Training Services”. DesignModeler and DesignXplorer Training Courses are also available, which cover usage of these other Workbench modules. A. About ANSYS, Inc. ANSYS, Inc.
