Basic engineering knowledge
Workbench - Simulation : Introduction

What you will learn

Difference between rigid and flexible bodies
How to utilize both rigid and flexible bodies in a dyanmic analysis
Setting up joints and springs
Solution controls and initial conditions for dynamic analyses
Postprocessing dynamic results with multiple results sets
Using probes to determine joint positions/forces/velocities
Explicit vs. implicit dynamic solutions

Summary

This class focuses on dynamic analyses within Workbench using the Rigid Dyanmics add-on module. This module allows you to conduct kinematic analyses using various joint types to connect rigid bodies together. You will learn about the differences between rigid and flexible bodies and how/when to use them in a dynamic analysis. Some explicit vs. implicit solver theory is presented as well. Available joint types and how to setup joints and springs is covered in detail as is postprocessing options. We also cover flexible dynamic analyses as well as rigid/flexible.
