Features: The purpose of this book is to enable readers to learn and familiarize themselves with the ANSYS program structure through practical engineering examples in the ANSYS interactive interface. The book progresses from simple to complex, from basic models to advanced models, covering most of the finite element solution problems in mechanical and structural engineering. Starting with a truss model, it will feel familiar to readers with a background in theoretical mechanics. The treatment of the orifice plate model allows readers with an understanding of elasticity to smoothly get started. The subsequent content follows the order of three-dimensional models, plastic models, frame models, dynamic load models, and transient heat transfer models, incorporating detailed explanations of some doubts, which can also serve as a reference for experienced engineers.
The book introduces the entire process of model creation, solution, and post-processing through command-line methods, using numerous teaching and engineering application examples. It covers static and dynamic analysis of bar systems, beam systems, plate/shell structures, and solid structures. With examples as the main teaching method, supplemented by theoretical analysis and comparative evaluation of computational results, readers can continuously improve their ability to evaluate computational outcomes and enhance their theoretical knowledge. The case studies in the book emphasize the analysis of the mechanical model and the results.
The greatest feature of this book is its command-based explanations combined with examples to illustrate commonly used commands and solution processes. The selected 64 case studies cover common engineering structural analysis fields, encompassing knowledge levels from theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, structural mechanics to elasticity. The numerous examples not only help readers learn and master the software but also aid in understanding the fundamental principles of finite elements, accumulating practical operational experience, and continuously improving their ability to analyze and solve problems. The structural element reference and quick command guide at the end of the book are also a valuable toolbox for structural analysis.
