Course List - By category

Recommended for engineers who analyze structural nonlinear phenomena such as large deflection, plasticity or contact, this two-day course will aid in modeling geometric, material and contact nonlinearities, and in obtaining converged solutions with accurate results.
After completion, mechanical analysts should have a basic understanding of how to analyze structures with geometric nonlinearities, implement large strain theory in a nonlinear analysis and analyze structures with plasticity and contact nonlinearities.
Prerequisite: Introduction to ANSYS-Part I
Course Topics Include:

• Nonlinearities Overview
• Obtaining the Solution
• Postprocessing
• Basic Geometric Nonlinearities
• Basic Plasticity
• Introduction to Contact

Each course chapter is followed by "hands-on" workshops and exercises.
