Ansys 17.0
Design of a product that used to be done by tedious
hand drawings has been replaced by computer-aided
design (CAD) using computer graphics.
 Analysis of a design used to be done by hand
calculations and many of the testing's have been
replaced by computer simulations using computer-
aided engineering (CAE) software.
Need for Analysis
To reduce product development cycle time
 To reduce the cost of product
 Idle time reduction
Better design and Alternate materials
 To reduce material wastage
Finite element method
The finite element method (FEM), or finite element
analysis (FEA), is based, dividing a complicated object
into smaller and manageable pieces.
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.
Finite Element Applications in Engineering

The FEM can be applied in solving the mathematical


models of many engineering problems, from stress
analysis of truss and frame structures or complicated
machines, to dynamic responses of automobiles,
trains, or airplanes under different mechanical,
thermal, or electromagnetic loading.
Finite Element Applications in Engineering

There are numerous finite element applications in


industries, ranging from automotive, aerospace,
defense, consumer products, and industrial
equipment to energy, transportation and construction,
as shown by some examples in Table

FEA with ANSYS workbench
Over the last few decades, many commercial programs have
become available for conducting the FEA.

Among a comprehensive range of finite element simulation


solutions provided by leading CAE companies, ANSYS®
Workbench is a user-friendly platform.

It offers bidirectional connection to major CAD systems.


The Workbench environment is geared toward improving
productivity and ease of use among engineering teams
General Procedure for FEA
 Divide the CAD/geometric model into pieces to create a “mesh”
(a collection of elements with nodes,).
 Describe the behavior 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 (e.g., to prevent the model
from moving).
 Solve the system of equations involving unknown quantities at
the nodes (e.g., the displacements)
 Calculate the desired quantities (e.g., strains and stresses) at
elements or nodes
Procedure for FEA
In commercial FEA software, this procedure is
typically rearranged into the following phases

Preprocessing (build FEM models, define element


properties, and apply loads and constraints)

 FEA solver (assemble and solve the FEM system of


equations, calculate element results)
 •Post processing (sort and display the results)
USER INTERFACE
USER INTERFACE
A project schematic, that is, a graphical representation of
the workflow, can be built by dragging predefined
analysis templates or other components from the Toolbox
and dropping them into the Project Schematic window.
“Drag” here means to move the mouse while holding
down the left mouse button, and “drop” means to release
the mouse button. To build a project for static structural
analysis, for instance, drag the Static Structural template
from the Toolbox and drop it into the rectangular box that
appears in the Project Schematic window.
USER INTERFACE
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, post processing, and others. Custom Systems: Coupled-field analysis
systems such as fluid solid interaction, pre stress modal, thermal-stress, and
others.
Custom Systems: Coupled-field analysis systems such as fluid solid
interaction, pre stress modal, thermal-stress, and others.
 Design Exploration: Parametric optimization studies such as response
surface optimization, parameters correlation, six sigma analysis, and others.
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.
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
post processing).
MENU BAR
The menu bar is the horizontal bar anchored at the top of
the Workbench user interface. It provides access to the
following functions:
File Menu: Create a new project, open an existing project,
save the current project, and so on.
View Menu: Control the window/workspace layout,
customize the toolbox, and so on.
 Tools Menu: Update the project and set the license
preferences and other user options.
 Units Menu: Select the unit system and specify unit display
options. Help Menu: Get help for ANSYS Workbench
USER INTERFACE

To delete a system, click on the down arrow button at the upper
left corner of the system from the Project Schematic window,
and then choose Delete from the drop-down context menu.
USER INTERFACE
ENGINEERING DATA
Engineering Data is a resource for material properties
used in an analysis system.
The Engineering Data workspace is designed to allow
you to create, save, and retrieve material models, as
well as to create libraries of data that can be saved and
used in subsequent projects and by other users.
ENGINEERING DATA
To access Engineering Data:
Insert an Engineering Data component system or a
Mechanical system into the Project Schematic.
Select Edit from the Engineering Data cell's context
menu, or double-click the cell.
The Engineering Data workspace appears. From here,
you can navigate through the data for your analysis
system, access external data sources, create new data,
and store data for future use.
