Ansys FEA 102 | Course Agenda
Every structure has a nonlinear response to external loads. However, only in some circumstances is the nonlinear nature profound, and significant. Additionally, to evaluate complex systems, a variety of linear and nonlinear solvers are available. Selecting the best solver frequently involves balancing accuracy and processing efficiency.
Here, the mechanical response of a structure and what causes it to be nonlinear will be covered in this Ansys Innovation Course on “Introduction to Nonlinearities.” After completing the course, students will be able to decide for themselves whether a linear solution or a nonlinear solver is most appropriate for system analysis.
