Class Objective:

Fastway CAD CAE Training Goals IconThe primary objective of this Ansys Mechanical Training class is to teach participants Finite Element Analysis in Ansys Mechanical Workbench. Thus, upon completion of this course, participants will be able to set up, solve, and diagnose their own Structural Analyses in the Ansys Mechanical Workbench.

Applicable Software:

Fastway CAD CAE PTC Creo Simulate Training Computer Icon

Ansys Mechanical Workbench and a direct connection to Native CAD (Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, Solidworks, etc).

Topics Covered:

• The role of FEA in Product Development

• The best Time Management for using FEA & CAD together

• A Wide Variety of Geometry Preparation and Meshing Techniques

• Best Practices in Analyzing Parts and Assemblies

• Physics include: Static Structural, Modal, and Buckling

• Communicating with both Qualitative and Quantitative Results Post-processing

• Applications include Connecting Rod assembly, Electronic Circuit Board, Sheet metal, Plastic, and more!

After this class you will:

• Virtually Test your design, quickly and accurately.

• Optimize Your Design by analyzing dozens of iterations automatically.

• Design Higher Performing Products which are both lighter and stiffer.

• Gain Confidence in your analyses

• Spend Less Time Troubleshooting errors, by learning the best practices.

• Discuss ways to Validate and Verify your model by correlating simulation results to test data.

Who Should Attend:

Therefore, an engineering degree is not a prerequisite, however, an open mind and a creative spirit are!

The instructor communicated in a very understandable way, and clearly explained the limitations and work around of the software. - Todd V.
