Introduction To Ansys

The document serves as an introduction to ANSYS, a widely-used finite element analysis (F.E.A.) software that applies the finite element method (F.E.M.) to solve complex engineering problems. It highlights the advantages of F.E.M., including its applicability to various fields such as structural, thermal, and fluid mechanics, and emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate element types for specific problems. The document also outlines the hands-on learning approach for students to understand mechanics concepts through practical use of ANSYS.

INTRODUCTION
TO ANSYS

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis

DO YOU KNOW WHAT


F.E.M. IS?

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

F.E.M. (FINITE ELEMENT METHOD)

F.E.M. IS A NUMERICAL PROCEDURE


TO SOLVE MANY ENGINEERING
PROBLEMS.

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

F.E.M. OFFERS MANY IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES:

1) EASILY APPLIED TO COMPLEX, IRREGULAR-SHAPED


OBJECTS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT
MATERIALS AND HAVING COMPLEX BOUNDARY
CONDITIONS.
2) IT IS POSSIBLE TO SOLVE A WIDE VARIETY OF PROBLEMS,
INCLUDING SOLID MECHANICS, FLUID MECHANICS,
CHEMICAL REACTIONS, ELECTROMAGNETICS,
BIOMECHANICS, HEAT TRANSFER, ACOUSTICS,….

3) APPLICABLE TO TIME DEPENDENT PROBLEMS.

4) APPLICABLE TO LINEAR AND NONLINEAR PROBLEMS.

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

MANY PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING


AND APPLIED SCIENCES ARE
GOVERNED BY DIFFERENTIAL OR
INTEGRAL EQUATIONS.

THE SOLUTIONS TO THESE


EQUATIONS PROVIDE AN EXACT
SOLUTION TO A PARTICULAR
PROBLEM.

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

THE NUMBER OF EQUATIONS IS USUALLY


RATHER LARGE FOR MOST REAL-WORLD
APPLICATIONS OF THE F.E.M., AND
REQUIRES THE COMPUTATIONAL POWER
OF THE DIGITAL COMPUTER.

THE F.E.M. HAS LITTLE PRACTICAL VALUE IF THE


DIGITAL COMPUTER WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

SOLUTION OF
THESE
EQUATIONS
GIVES THE
“APPROXIMATE”
BEHAVIOUR OF
THE SYSTEM.

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

HOWEVER, COMPLEXITIES IN THE GEOMETRY, IN


PROPERTIES AND IN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS IN
MOST REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS MEAN THAT AN
EXACT SOLUTION CANNOT BE OBTAINED (OR ONLY
OBTAINED WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF TIME).

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis


DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS.
Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

IN THE F.E.M. A COMPLEX REGION DEFINING A


CONTINUUM IS DISCRETIZED INTO SIMPLE GEOMETRIC
SHAPES CALLED ELEMENTS.

THE PROPERTIES AND THE GOVERNING RELATIONSHIPS


ARE ASSUMED OVER THESE ELEMENTS AND EXPRESSED
MATHEMATICALLY IN TERMS OF UNKNOWN VALUES AT
SPECIFIC POINTS IN THE ELEMENTS CALLED NODES.

ANSYS Introduction ‐ Ernesto Juliá Sanchis

Department of Continuous Medium Mechanics and Theory of Structures Introduction to ANSYS.

AN ASSEMBLY PROCESS IS USED TO LINK THE


INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS TO THE GIVEN SYSTEM.

THE FINITE ELEMENT MODELING IS USED AS A VEHICLE TO

ENHANCE THE STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING OF MECHANICS

CONCEPTS.

THE CLASS FORMAT FOR THE FINITE ELEMENT MODELING IS

ENTIRELY HANDS-ON, WHERE STUDENTS LEARN THE FINITE

ELEMENT SOFTWARE BY CREATING THE MODELS, RUNNING THE

SIMULATIONS AND ANALYZING THE RESULTS UNDER THE

SUPERVISION OF THE INSTRUCTOR IN CLASS.
