You should attend this two-day course if you have a need to utilize array parameters, coupling, constraint equations, element coordinate systems, surface effect elements, element table items, beam elements, submodeling (refined small models using boundary conditions from a larger coarse model), and basic modal analysis. Other topics covered are an introduction to nonlinear analysis, bonded contact analysis, and more ANSYS macro creation basics. Prerequisites are a BS in engineering or equivalent experience and
Course 101 or equivalent ANSYS experience. After completing the course you will be able to:
- Utilize array parameters in ANSYS.
- Use nodal coupling and constraint equations.
- Use beam and surface effect elements.
- Be familiar with element coordinate systems and the element table.
- Utilize ANSYS submodeling to create localized refined models.
- Incorporate basic nonlinear analysis in ANSYS.
- Use bonded contact to connect meshed parts in ANSYS.
- Perform a sequential and coupled thermal/stress analysis.
- Create ANSYS macros which include arguments, branching, and looping.
