Introduction to Ansys Mechanical &
Heat Transfer
New to Ansys Mechanical? This is the place to start.
After completing this in-person 3-day course, you will understand the complete end-to-end procedure for conducting a basic linear static structural analysis and will be able to apply it to the solution of your own analysis problems. Just as importantly, you will gain a basic understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of your solution and the accuracy of your results.
If thermal management is critical to your design or if you’re concerned with the effects of heat on structures, this course will also help you develop the skills necessary to predict the thermal response of structures to various heat loads. You’ll learn complete solution procedures for conduction, natural convection, and radiation heat transfer under both steady-state and time-varying conditions. Lastly, you’ll explore several methods of performing thermal stress analysis.
Following successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Carry out the basic end-to-end static structural analysis process in Ansys Mechanical.
- Describe several of the considerations that are important in the planning of a useful and appropriate analysis model.
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of viewing control, entity selection, geometry import, material property definition and assignment, coordinate systems, mesh control, contact regions, simple loads, supports, and results display.
- Understand the first principles of solution accuracy and model validation.
- Understand and apply the different modes of heat transfer to thermal analysis simulations using Ansys Mechanical.
- Perform steady state analysis to predict the thermal equilibrium temperatures within a structure.
- Perform transient analysis to gain in-depth understanding of the temperature fluctuations throughout a representative operating cycle.
- Accurately simulate the effect of temperature dependent loads and material properties.
- Model complex interactions among thermal, structural, and/or electrical environments.
