Introduction to FEA

Basics or fundamentals of FEA

Hypermesh tool introduction and it's screen panels, 

Pre-processing - geometry clean up, material properties, meshing (Solid/she'll, 2D, 3D), quality check.

Finite element modeling and assembly

1D Connection and defining contacts

Solution setup and solving the problem

Post- processing, interpretation of results and further steps for design analysis. 

Ansys Workbench - which is a high end tool to simulate the mechanical or engineering problems. ANSYS has very strong solver to solve any simple to complex problems. 

Geometry preparation- using space claim

Engineering material data, material properties

Meshing- tet mesh, hex mesh, multi zone mesh etc. 

Element types - 1d, 2d, 3d element and properties

Connection- Beams, rigids connections

Contacts- Frictional contacts, frictionless contacts, rough contacts and bonded contacts.... 

Loads and Boundary Conditions- various load types

Constraints and assumptions

Selection of type of analysis and setup for solving the problem like static structural, thermal, nonlinear, transient, random etc

Post- processing, interpretation of results and further steps for design analysis.
