Complete Course on Preprocessing using ANSA

via Udemy

Overview

Become expert in structural analysis meshing and assembly of components with connections

What you'll learn:
  • Theory of FEA
  • Theory of FEA
  • 1D Meshing - Rod ,Bar , Rigids, RBE3
  • 2D Meshing and industry guidelines
  • 3D Meshing - Tetra meshing algorithms and hexa meshing
  • Quality checks and Quality Parameters
  • Assembly Connections - Spot welds , Seam welds , Bolted Connection, Adhesives

******************* Course Structure ***************************

The course will take you on exciting journey from beginner to expert in meshing using ANSA ,

Main theme of course is to get insights into Creating and modifying CAD/Geometry , Meshing and Connections.

We will start with Theory of FEA , where you will get familiar with critical ways in which you can find solution to given problem and the logic behind most of the CAE software's .

Then we will proceed toward meshing where we will learn about 1d, 2d, 3d meshing & guidelines that one has to follow while meshing.

In meshing section we will do hands on exercises of many components and try to implement guidelines that we have studied. We will talk about quality checks and quality parameter in much detail along with the mathematical formulation of quality parameters.

Then we will move towards building assembly of various components using connections. In connection we will explore various capabilities of ANSA while doing connections and explore for the possibilities of importing connections from existing file to new one.

At the end of to each section we will take small project to implement overall summary of the section.


Last section will be placed for your doubts. I will update this session with answers to all of your doubt
