INTRODUCTION TO ANSYS
The ANSYS program is a computer program for finite element
analysis and design. You use the program to find out how a given design works
under operating conditions. You can also use the ANSYS program to calculate
the proper design for given operating conditions.
The ANSYS program is a general-purpose program, meaning that you
can use it for almost any type of finite element analysis in virtually any industryautomobiles, aerospace, railways, machinery, electronics, sporting goods, power
generation, power transmission, and biomechanics, to mention just a few.
General-purpose also refers to the fact that the program can be used in all
disciplines of engineering-structural, mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic,
electronic, thermal, fluid, and biomedical.
A TYPICAL ANALYSIS
The ANSIS program has many finite element analysis capabilities
ranging from a simple, linear static analysis to a complex, nonlinear transient
dynamic analysis.
. Build the model
. Apply loads and obtain the solution

. Review the result

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Many types of structural analysis are available in the ANSYS
program. The primary unknowns (nodal degree of freedom) calculated in a
structural analysis are displacements. Other quantities, such as strains,
stresses, and reaction forces, are then derived from the nodal displacements.
The following types of structural analyses are possible:
Static Analysis
Modal Analysis
Harmonic analysis
Transient dynamic analysis
Spectrum analysis
Buckling analysis
In addition to the above analysis types, several special-purpose features are
available, such as fracture mechanics, composites and fatigue.

THERMAL ANALYSIS
Thermal analyses are used to calculate the temperature
distribution and related thermal quantities in an object. The ANSYS program
uses a heat balance equation obtained from the principle of conservation of
energy as the basis for thermal analysis. All three primary modes of heat
transfer-conduction, convection, and radiation are handled by the ANSYS
program. In addition to the three modes of heat transfer, you can account for
special effects such as change of phase and internal heat generation.
. Steady state thermal analysis
. Transient thermal analysis
. Radiation
MAGNETIC FIELD ANALYSIS

PCT-MECHANINCAL ENGG-SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS LAB

Magnetic analyses are used to calculate the magnetic field in devices

such as power generators, transformers, video display devices and so forth. The
ANSYS program uses Maxwell's equations as the basis for magnetic field
analysis. The three types of magnetic analyses are possible:
Static magnetic analysis
Harmonic magnetic analysis
Transient magnetic analysis
Six element types are available for magnetic analysis, consisting of 2-D
element, three 3-D elements, and one 3-D current-source line element.
ELECTRIC FIELD ANALYSIS
Electric field analysis is used to calculate the electric field in
conductive or capacitive systems. The ANSYS program uses Lap lace equation as
the basis for static electric field analysis.
FLUID ANALYSIS
A "fluid analysis" in the ANSIS program may mean any of the
following capabilities:
Fluid flow with heat transfer
Acoustics
Contained fluid
Dynamic fluid coupling

COUPLED-FIELD ANALYSIS
A coupled-field analysis is one that takes into account the
interaction (coupling) between two or more disciplines of engineering.
MODEL GENERATION
The ultimate purpose of your finite-element analysis is to recreate
mathematically the behavior of an actual engineering system. The model
generation will mean the process of defining the geometric configuration of your
mode's nodes and elements.
Typical steps involved in model generation:
PCT-MECHANINCAL ENGG-SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS LAB

Planning your approach

Erect coordinate systems
Using picking and working plans
Solid modeling
Meshing your solid model
Revising your model
Adaptive meshing
Direct generation
Piping models
Number control and element reordering
Coupling and constrained equations

LOADING AND SOLUTION

The primary objective of a finite element analysis is to examine the
responses of a structure or component to certain loading conditions. Specifying
the proper loading conditions is, therefore, a key step in the analysis. You can
apply loads on the model in a variety of ways in the ANSYS program. Also with
the help of load step options, you can control how the loads are actually used
during solution.
LOADING
A load step is simply a configuration of loads for which a solution is
obtained. How to apply loads? Most loads can be applied either on the solid
model or on the finite element model.
SOLUTION
Two methods of solution are available in the ANSYS program:
frontal solution and Jacobin conjugate gradient (JCG)solution. You can choose
the method as an analysis option. By default, the frontal method is used.
POST PROCESSING
Post processing is that phase of an analysis in which you review the results. It
is probably the most important step in the analysis. Two postprocessors are
available to review your results: POST1, the general postprocessor, and POST26,
the time-history processor.POST1 allows you to review the results over the entire
model at specific load steps and sub steps. POST26 allows you to review the
PCT-MECHANINCAL ENGG-SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS LAB

variation of a particular result item at specific points in the model with respect
to frequency, or with respect to some other result points.
GRAPHICS
CREATING GRAPHICS DISPLAYS
You can create many types of graphics displays--geometry displays, result
displays, and graphs. Creating any displays is a two step process: first, you use
graphics specification function to establish specifications for your display, then
you use graphics action function to actually produce the display. These
functions can be activated either by issuing commands, or by manipulating
special menus.

Getting started with graphics

Creating geometry displays by using button menus or action commands.
Creating geometric results displays.
Creating Graphs

SELECTING AND COMPONENTS

Select logic is the ability to select subsets of nodes, elements, keypoints,
lines,etc. so that you work with a handful of entries. The ANSYS program uses a
database to store all the data that you define during an analysis. This database
design allows you to select only a portion of the data without destroying the rest
of the data. You can select a subset of entities by using a combination of seven
basic select functions: select, reselect, also select, unselect, select all, select
none, and invert.
SUB MODELING
Sub modeling is a finite element technique to get more accurate
results in a region of your model. The procedure for sub modeling consists of the
following steps:
Create and analyze the coarse model
Create the sub model
Perform cut boundary interpolation
Analyze the sub model
Verify the sub model
PCT-MECHANINCAL ENGG-SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS LAB

ANSYS PARAMETRIC DESIGN LANGUAGE (APDL)

APDL stands for ANSYS parametric design language which allows
you to build your model in terms of parameter that in turn allows you to make
design changes easily and conveniently. In APDL parameters are user- named
variables to which you can assign numeric values. When you use a parameter in
a numeric field of an ANSYS command, the value of that parameter will be
substituted.
DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
Design optimization is a technique that seeks to determine an
optimum design. To calculate an optimum design, the ANSYS program performs
a series of analysis and the usual procedure for design optimization consists of
six main steps:
Initialize the design variable parameters
Build the model parametrically (PREP7)
Obtain the solution (SOLUTION)
Retrieve the results data parametrically and initialize the state
Variable and objective function parameters (POST1/POST26)
Declare optimization variables and begin optimization (OPT)
Review and verify optimum results
Sub structuring
Sub structuring is a procedure that condenses a group of elements
into one element represented as a matrix. A substructure analysis involves three
distinct steps or passes:
Generation pass
Use pass
Expansion pass
