Recommended for anyone who performs finite element analysis (FEA) of mechanical parts or fluids and has little or no ANSYS experience, Introduction to ANSYS, Part I is a three-day course that focuses on basic linear, static analyses in any discipline. After completing the course, attendees should be able to maneuver efficiently within the ANSYS Graphical user interface (GUI), build two- and three-dimensional models, apply loads and obtain solutions as well as effectively verify the results of an analysis and display results.

Course Topics Include:

• FEA & ANSYS
• ANSYS Basics
• General Analysis Procedure
• Creating the Solid Model
• Creating the Finite Element Model
• Defining Material Properties
• Applying Loads and Boundary Conditions
• Running the Solution
• Structural Analysis
• Thermal Analysis
• Postprocessing- Reviewing Solution Results
• Short Topics

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