FEA Laboratory Using Ansys Mechanical
Perform your own solutions and understand the properties of the Finite Element Method This training is offered as a self-paced eLearning course.
Duration
1 day
Prerequisites
None
Software used
Ansys Mechanical
- Handling of structural mechanics based on benchmark examples
- Compare numerical solutions with common analytical solutions
- Content adapted for use in the free Ansys Student version
- Only a small platform fee is charged for use in teaching sessions
Description
The lecture workshop Structural Mechanics focuses on the use of Ansys Workbench. Based on well-known examples from the past and present, the procedure in Ansys Workbench is shown step by step. On completion of the course, you will be able to analyze your own designs in Ansys.
The lecture uses a proven teaching concept that is already being used at several universities. This course is a "quick start" to Ansys to implement existing academic knowledge in a professional simulation software package.
The course is aimed at teachers who use Ansys in colleges and universities. It is also suitable for students, graduates and other users who want to take the first steps in Ansys by using benchmark examples.

To get a clear impression of our online learning format, we offer you a trial allowing you access to the starting module of an eLearning course of your choice. No costs, no cancellation period or anything similar. Moreover, with this free test access you can check all the technical requirements for a smooth learning process. You can easily request the free module from any eLearning course.
Each online course day comprises four eLearning modules. You should ideally allow 90 to 120 minutes of uninterrupted learning time for each module. This will allow you to acquire the knowledge provided by a module and to consolidate it through quiz questions and Ansys exercises. By dividing each module into micro learning units, you can also make good use of smaller time windows, such as on your commute.
Prerequisite for the use of the eLearning courses is the use of a personalized access to the CADFEM learning platform. When purchasing an eLearning course, access to the learning platform is 365 days. As a subscription user, access to the learning platform starts and ends with the start and end of the flat rate. With the start of a further learning product (Learning Subscription, training, eLearning), access to your content is extended by 365 days.
