Ansys Mechanical Beams and Shells Modelling

The learning objective is to be able to run a Static Structural solution on a model composed of line (beam) and surface (shell) bodies. This essentially consists of developing knowledge on the dedicated preprocessing and postprocessing tools associated with these body types.

The course is composed of two modules: the first covers beam modeling and the second covers shell modeling. The supporting theoretical background is included in both modules. Also included is a review of dedicated elements, geometry, connections, and postprocessing tools.

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Become familiar with the beams and shells theory
• Become familiar with the Ansys elements used for beams and shells models
• Learn how to deal with the body’s connections
• Learn about the Mesh-Based connection features
• Discover the dedicated post processing tools for beams and shells

Who Should Attend?

Mechanical Engineers, Mechanical designers who are already used to work with Ansys Mechanical and are interested to learn more about their models simplifications.

Completion of Ansys Mechanical Getting Started is required or significant experience of Ansys Mechanical.
