Description
The numerous structural mechanics features that are now available in Ansys Discovery have a clear goal: to provide you with fast, accurate and clear simulation results for the development of your products.
In our training, you will get an overview of interesting innovations for quick and accurate simulations in structural mechanics. Our engineers have pre-selected several particularly interesting features, which they will thoroughly work through with you, both in theory and, above all, in simulation practice. In addition to associative workflows for importing and editing CAD, variant studies, the automatic updating of boundary conditions and the skillful use of history tracking are also a focus, as is the simple creation of bolted connections. Further topics are parameterization, topology optimization, automation & reporting.
Has your daily work routine already given you a strong foundation in working with Ansys Discovery? Then this is the course for you! You will learn you how to optimize your way of working and integrate new workflows into existing processes. This training is aimed at users of Ansys Discovery who want to deepen their knowledge and skills for simulating mechanical tasks at the current technical standard.
