INTRODUCTION
Some Basic Concepts
The finite element method (FEM), or finite element analysis (FEA), is based on the idea of
building a complicated object with simple blocks, or, dividing a complicated object into smaller and
manageable pieces.
Why FEA?
Computers have revolutionized the practice of engineering. Design of a product that used to be done
by tedious hand drawings has been replaced by computer-aided design (CAD) using computer
graphics. Analysis of a design used to be done by hand calculations and many of the testing have
been replaced by computer simulations using computer-aided engineering (CAE) software.
Together, CAD, CAE, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have dramatically changed the
landscape of engineering.
Among all the computational tools for CAE, the FEM is the most widely applied method or one of
the most powerful modern “calculators” available for engineering students and professionals. FEA
provides a way of virtually testing a product design. It helps users understand their designs and
implement appropriate design changes early in the product development process . The adoption
of FEA in the design cycle is driven by market pressure since it brings many benefits that will help
companies make better products with reduced development costs and time-to- market.
Finite Element Applications in Engineering
The FEM can be applied in solving the mathematical models of many engineering problems,
from stress analysis of truss and frame structures or complicated machines, to dynamic responses of
automobiles, trains, or airplanes under different mechanical, thermal, or electromagnetic loading.
There are numerous finite element applications in industries, ranging from automotive, aerospace,
defense, consumer products, and industrial equipment to energy, transportation and construction,
as shown by some examples in Table. The applications of the FEA have also been extended to
materials science, biomedical engineering, geophysics, and many other emerging fields in recent
years.
FEA with ANSYS Workbench
Over the last few decades, many commercial programs have become available for conducting the
FEA. Among a comprehensive range of finite element simulation solutions provided by leading CAE
companies, ANSYS® Workbench is a user-friendly platform designed to seamlessly integrate
A N S Y S , I n c . ’s s u i t e o f a d v a n c e d e n g i n e e r i n g s i m ul a t i o n t e c h n o l o g y . It o f f e r s
bidirectional connection to major CAD systems. The Workbench environment is geared toward
improving productivity and ease of use among engineering teams. It has evolved as an
indispensable tool for product development at a growing number of companies , finding
applications in many diverse engineering fields.
A General Procedure for FEA
To conduct an FEA, the following procedure is required in general:
❖ Divide the CAD/geometric model into pieces to create a “mesh” (a collection of elements
with nodes)
❖ Describe the behavior of the physical quantities on each element.
❖ Connect (assemble) the elements at the nodes to form an approximate system of
equations for the entire model.
❖ Apply loads and boundary conditions (e.g., to prevent the model from moving).
❖ Solve the system of equations involving unknown quantities at the nodes (e.g., the
displacements).
❖ Calculate the desired quantities (e.g., strains and stresses) at elements or nodes.
In commercial FEA software, this procedure is typically rearranged into the following phases:
➢ P r epr oc ess ing (build FEM models, define element properties, and apply loads and
constraints)
➢ FE A solver (assemble and solve the FEM system of equations, calculate element results)
➢ P ost pr oc ess ing (sort and display the results)

Overview of ANSYS Workbench
ANSYS Workbench is a simulation platform that enables users to model and solve a wide range of
engineering problems using the FEA. It provides access to the ANSYS family of design and
analysis modules in an integrated simulation environment. This section gives a brief overview of the
different elements in the ANSYS Workbench simulation environment or the graphical-user
interface (GUI). Readers are referred to ANSYS Workbench user’s guide for more detailed
information.
The User Interface
The Workbench interface is composed primarily of a Toolbox region and a Project Schematic
region. The main use of the two regions is described next.
Figure: ANSYS Workbench user interface.
The Toolbox
The Toolbox contains the following four groups of systems:
Analysis Systems: Predefined analysis templates to be used to build your project, including static
structural, steady-state thermal, transient thermal, fluid flow, modal, shape optimization, linear
buckling, and many others.
3
Component Systems: Component applications that can be used to build or expand an analysis
system, including geometry import, engineering data, mesh, postprocessing, and others.
Custom Systems: Coupled-field analysis systems such as fluid solid interaction, prestress modal,
thermal-stress, and others.
Design Exploration: Parametric optimization studies such as response surface optimization,

parameters correlation, six sigma analysis, and others.
The Project Schematic
A project schematic, that is, a graphical representation of the workflow, can be built by dragging
predefined analysis templates or other components from the Toolbox and dropping them into the
Project Schematic window. “Drag” here means to move the mouse while holding down the left
mouse button, and “drop” means to release the mouse button.
To build a project for static structural analysis, for instance, drag the Static Structural template
from the Toolbox and drop it into the rectangular box that appears in the Project Schematic
window. A standalone analysis system that contains the components needed for static structural
analysis is added to the project schematic as shown in Fig. The system consists of seven individual
components called cells.
Alternatively, a standalone analysis can be created by double-clicking. For example, double-

click the Steady-State Thermal template from the Toolbox, and an independent
Figure: Defining standalone analysis systems in the project schematic: (a) a standalone system;
(b) two independent standalone systems; (c) moving a system in a top-bottom configuration; and (d)
moving a system in a side-by side configuration.
Steady-State Thermal system will be placed in the default location below the existing Static
Structural system.
A system can be moved around another system in the project schematic. To move a system, click on
the header cell (i.e., the cell titled Steady-State Thermal for the thermal system) and drag it to a new
place. Once you drag the header cell, dashed rectangles appear for the possible new locations
to drop the system. This is illustrated in Fig c and d for two systems with initial top– bottom and
side-by-side configurations, respectively.
To delete a system, click on the down arrow button at the upper left corner of the system from the
Project Schematic window, and then choose Delete from the drop-down context menu.
In some cases, a project may contain two or more analysis systems that share data. For example, a
downstream modal analysis may use the same material, geometry, and model data from the
preceding structural analysis. To build such a project, create a standalone system for Static
Structural analysis. Then, drag the Modal analysis template from the Toolbox and drop it onto the
Model cell of the Static Structural system. Immediately before the subsequent system is
dropped, bounding boxes will appear on the Engineering Data, Geometry, and Model cells of the
first system, as shown in Fig a. After the system is released, a project including two linked
systems is created, as shown in Fig b, where the linked cells indicate data sharing at the Model and
above levels.
Figure: Defining linked analysis systems in the project schematic: (a) dropping the second
(subsequent) system onto the Model cell of the first system to share data at the model and above
levels; (b) two systems that are linked.
Working with Cells
Cells are components that make up an analysis system. You may launch an application by
double-clicking a cell. To initiate an action other than the default action, right-click on a cell to view
its context menu options. The following list comprises the types of cells available in ANSYS
Workbench and their intended functions:
Engineering Data: Define or edit material models to be used in an analysis.
Geometry: Create, import, or edit the geometry model used for analysis.
6
Model/Mesh: Assign material, define coordinate system, and generate mesh for the model.
Setup: Apply loads, boundary conditions, and configure the analysis settings.
Solution: Access the model solution or share solution data with other downstream systems.
Results: Indicate the results availability and status (also referred to as postprocessing).
As the data flows through a system, a cell’s state can quickly change. ANSYS
Workbench provides a state indicator icon placed on the right side of the cell. Table describes
the indicator icons and the various cell states available in ANSYS Workbench. For more
information, please refer to ANSYS Workbench user’s guide.
The Menu Bar
The menu bar is the horizontal bar anchored at the top of the Workbench user interface.
It provides access to the following functions:
File Menu: Create a new project, open an existing project, save the current project, and so
on.
View Menu: Control the window/workspace layout, customize the toolbox, and so on.
Tools Menu: Update the project and set the license preferences and other user options.
Units Menu: Select the unit system and specify unit display options.
Help Menu: Get help for ANSYS Workbench.
