This course provides a structured introduction to Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) within Ansys Mechanical, covering essential concepts and practical applications. Through hands-on workshops, participants will learn to:
- Define and analyze motion
- Apply connections such as joints and contacts
- Perform transient analyses with condensed parts to simulate real-world mechanical systems effectively
Who should take this course:
- Users looking to utilize RBD to analyze dynamic behavior.
- Users looking to refresh their RBD knowledge
With completion of this Ansys RBD Training, you will have learned:
- The basics of RBD
- RBD Pre-processing
- RBD Post processing
- Applying RBD connections (Joints and Contacts)
- RBD Analysis with Condensed Parts (CMS)
