The currently available sections
are
Section 1: Structural Analysis with ANSYS.
Section
2: Thermal Analysis with ANSYS.
Section 3: Fluid
Analysis with ANSYS
Section 4: Vibration Analysis with ANSYS We plan to develop
more sections in the near future. For example:

How
to sign up
|
You do not need to register this self-paced learning
course through the regular registration process. Just download this
excel file and fill in the appropriate data. Then, send an email to
Arbtip
Dheeravongkit (Aom) with that file
attached. She will enter your name into the
Students section within two weeks. |
How
to start, proceed, and complete
|
Once you send
that email, you can start working on the problems
anytime. Every time you finish a problem print out the results and
put it into the "hand-in box" in Peggy Martin's office at Scaife Hall 316.
Your solution will be
checked and returned back to you within a week or two. You can see
the progress in the "Students" section of the
course web page. |
Recommended
Textbook on ANSYS
|
Although
you don't need a textbook to complete this course, if you would like to
learn more about the finite element methods and ANSYS we recommend
the following book
|
Book Title |
Finite Element Analysis - Theory and
Application with ANSYS |
| Author: |
Saeed Moaveni |
| Publisher: |
Prentice Hall Inc. |
Also there are a good amount of information on the WEB. Check the
Reference section of the course web page. |
Prerequisites
and Recommended Background
|
There are no prerequisites for this course, but
basic knowledge of topics that you would learn about in core engineering
courses like Stress Analysis, Statics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and
Thermal Fluids will enhance your grasp and understanding of the problems and of the
nature of ANSYS as you work on the problems. Also we expect that you have some familiarity
with the Windows operating system. No programming experience required. |
Individual
Effort
|
The
solutions to all the problems that you hand in
should be generated by your individual effort. It is OK to
discuss the approach to problems with other students, but the final
results must be your own work and should not be copied
from someone else. |
Your Workload
|
Time management is a critical factor to your academic success,
as to any professional environment. While the
exact time devoted by individuals would vary, we estimate the total time you
need to invest to finish each section of the course as follows:
