Finite Element Analysis with Ansys & Hypermesh

The course covers concepts and techniques for finite element modeling and analysis that are common across various analysis packages such as Nastran, Abaqus, and Hyperworks. It includes examples using Ansys and addresses the importance of conceptual understanding before using tools. Topics include solid mechanics theory, the finite element method, model generation, meshing, boundary conditions, element selection, and various types of analyses such as modal, buckling, nonlinear, fracture, and coupled field analysis. Care is taken to ensure students are conceptually strong before using the software.

Finite element modeling and analysis with Ansys & Hypermesh

Course Contents
The course contains concepts and techniques of finite element modeling and analysis which is
common for all analysis packages like Nastran, Abaqus and Hyperworks etc and PLM packages like
Pro/E, Unigraphics, Catia. It also includes examples and explanations from Ansys and particularly with
reference to the industrial applications. Since it is mandatory that any finite element analyst should be
conceptually strong before using the tool, care is taken while designing the course.
