Detailed Introduction to Ansys Workbench course. The main theme of the course is to familiarize you with aspects of FEA theory and gradually move towards more effective methods of solving problems. In addition to obtaining results from Ansys Workbench, more focus is given to verifying these results and correlating them with physical conditions. At the beginning of each module, first the theory aspect is covered and then based on the theory, problems are solved using Ansys Workbench. We start with FEA theory, where you learn about the different ways you can find to solve a given problem and the logic behind most CAE codes/tools/software. Below is a summary of the course and the various modules available in the course:
FEA/CAE theory
The purpose of this module is to familiarize you with FEA/CAE.
