Features: This book starts from practical applications and combines the author's work experience with the software to comprehensively and systematically introduce the process and steps of ANSYS parametric design programming, along with relevant operational examples. To meet the needs of parametric programming, the corresponding operational commands for GUI operations are also introduced, listing the GUI operation paths and related dialog boxes for each command. Examples are provided for some commands, listing their GUI operation paths and related dialog boxes, with demonstrations for certain commands. Therefore, this book can serve as an introductory tutorial for beginners interested in ANSYS software, as well as a primary reference for intermediate and advanced users to look up operational commands. The book comprehensively and systematically introduces the process and steps of ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) programming, APDL operational commands, and ANSYS GUI operational commands (including commands for pre-processing, solvers, general post-processing, transient post-processing, optimization design, and utility menus), listing the usage format, GUI operation methods, and related dialog boxes for each command, and explaining the variables used in the commands. Operational examples are provided for some commands. The book concludes with application examples of APDL programming, including source code and annotations for each example. Appendix A lists the operational formats of all ANSYS commands, and Appendix B lists annotations for common labels in operational commands. This book can serve as a teaching material for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and teachers in science and engineering disciplines to learn ANSYS software and parametric programming, as well as a primary reference for engineering technicians engaged in engineering applications, scientific research, and secondary development using ANSYS software.
