Features: In addition to the main analysis techniques of the classic ANSYS 9.0 product—such as structural, thermal, fluid, electromagnetic, and coupled field analysis—the classic ANSYS product also includes five advanced analysis techniques frequently required in engineering analysis: APDL, Optimization, PDS, Element Birth and Death, and Submodeling. These are the outstanding advanced features of the classic ANSYS product, important auxiliary analysis techniques frequently used in engineering analysis with ANSYS, and advanced techniques considered indispensable by ANSYS users.
First is the parametric finite element analysis technique, which is a fast, automated analysis technique that parameterizes, automates, and batch-processes the finite analysis process, including modeling, solving, and post-processing, enabling secondary development of the analysis process and interface systems for engineering applications.
Second is the finite element-based optimization analysis technique, including target optimization design, topological shape optimization, and variational design techniques based on sampling experiments and response surfaces.
Third is the finite element-based probabilistic design analysis technique, which studies the impact of uncertain design input parameters that follow a certain probability distribution function on the reliability, safety, and quality of the design, including the effects, extent, and sensitivity.
Fourth is the Element Birth and Death technique, which simulates construction processes such as bridge assembly and disassembly, welding, and material failure by killing or activating materials.
Fifth is the Submodeling technique, which involves extracting a local model after a global model analysis for detailed refinement, thereby obtaining high-precision results for the local model.
This book is primarily suitable for novice ANSYS users who have mastered basic operations as well as advanced ANSYS users. It serves as a dedicated resource for learning advanced ANSYS techniques, an auxiliary reference for flexibly mastering specialized ANSYS analysis techniques in various disciplines, and helps readers enrich their finite element analysis tools and comprehensive application capabilities.
Additionally, this book can be used as an ANSYS textbook. It provides a thorough introduction to technical principles, menu systems, operational processes, and analysis methods, along with practical examples for exercises. The content is organized and structured in strict accordance with software teaching and practical methods.
