Ansys FEA 102

Ansys Workbench Mechanical Structural Nonlinearities

Course Overview:

Suitable for Ansys Mechanical users who have either completed the Ansys Workbench Mechanical Introductory (FEA 101) course or users who are looking to learn advanced Ansys Mechanical methods and concepts.

Who should take this course:

• Engineers looking to learn how to perform structural nonlinearities in Ansys Mechanical and are already familiar with performing linear static analyses in the Ansys Mechanical environment
• Engineers who are looking for a refresher and desire to re-learn advanced methods and concepts

When you complete the course you will:

• Receive an official certificate of completion with hours that can be attributed to a professional engineering license
• Become competent in:
  • Nonlinear procedures and diagnostics
  • Contact formulations and characteristics
  • Rate independent metal plasticity
  • Buckling and nonlinear stabilization
  • Mesh nonlinear adaptivity
