Why FEA?
• FEA provides a way of virtually testing a product
design.
• It helps users understand their designs and
implement appropriate design changes early in the
product development process.
• The adoption of FEA in the design cycle helps
companies make better products.
• reduced development costs and time-to-market. Fig1 : A sketch of the computer-aided product
development process.

A General Procedure for FEA
• Divide the CAD/geometric model into pieces to create a “mesh”
• Describe the behaviour of the physical quantities on each element.
• Connect (assemble) the elements at the nodes to form an approximate system of equations for the entire model.
• Apply loads and boundary conditions.
• Solve the system of equations involving unknown quantities at the nodes.
• Calculate the desired quantities (e.g., strains and stresses) at elements or nodes.

Working with Cells
• Engineering Data: Define or edit material models to be used in an
analysis.
• Geometry: Create, import, or edit the geometry model used for analysis.
• Model/Mesh: Assign material, define coordinate system, and generate
mesh for the model.
• Setup: Apply loads, boundary conditions, and configure the analysis
settings.
• Solution: Access the model solution or share solution data with other
downstream systems.
• Results: Indicate the results availability and status (also referred to as
postprocessing).
Overview of ANSYS Workbench Toolbox region
The Toolbox contains the following four groups of systems:
Analysis Systems: Predefined analysis templates to be used to build your project,
including static structural, steady-state thermal, transient thermal, fluid flow, modal,
shape optimization, linear buckling, and many others.

Component Systems: Component applications that can be used to build or
expand an analysis system, including geometry import, engineering data, mesh,
postprocessing, and others.
