Welcome to the ANSYS Workbench Tutorial ANSYS offers a full range of engineering simulation solver technologies from basic structural and mechanical simulation through complex linear and non-linear multi-physics solutions. The ANSYS Workbench environment that supports these technologies provides an integrated work environment and common interface to many of these technologies. The ANSYS Workbench environment is focused on helping to improve the engineering product process. The intent of this tutorial is to help you learn the full power and capabilities of this highly integrated engineering simulation platform. The tutorial provides a self-teaching teaching format that allows you to become familiar with various ANSYS simulation capabilities. It is intended to be taken at your leisure and at your own pace. The tutorial has been designed to teach you both the process flow and the technical capabilities of the ANSYS Workbench environment. The exercises contained in the tutorial are designed to be taken using the ANSYS ED 10.0 or any commercial release of ANSYS version 10.0. The size and complexity of the exercises presented in the tutorial have been developed to run within the finite element and other limits of the educational version of the product.

Contents The contents of this tutorial are intended to provide both an overview of the ANSYS simulation capabilities. Using the ANSYS Workbench environment you will visit a series of technical exercises to teach you how to perform some basic types of simulation. It is not the intent of the exercises to teach you more advanced types of linear and non-linear engineering simulation.

Introduction and Overview This section is intended to introduce you to the basic content and use of the ANSYS Workbench environment. It includes descriptions of the basic application tools and screen contents that you will encounter when taking the tutorial. The objective is to introduce general terminology and the methods of interacting with the ANSYS products through the Workbench graphical user interface.

Exercise 1 – Workbench Basics The first exercise introduces you to the basic workflow associated with performing engineering simulations. You will be guided through the creation of a simple model. You will then apply loads and supports to your model and solve a simple problem. © 2006 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved.

ANSYS 10.0 WORKBENCH TUTORIAL Once you solved the problem presented you will learn how to review the results of your simulation including stresses and deformations. You will also be introduced to methods provided to produce engineering reports using the patented ANSYS Report Generator. The reporting tool simplifies your ability to produce web-enabled (HTML) reports for distribution and review by others. These reports can be saved and viewed by others who do not have direct access to the ANSYS application software.

Exercise 2 – Dimensions and Parameters •

Prerequisite: Exercise 1

One of the most significant capabilities of the ANSYS Workbench environment is its ability to interact with most major parametric CAD systems. Because the Computer-Aided Design systems used by you and others vary, this tutorial introduces you to model creation and the use of Dimensions and Parameters using the integrated DesignModeler. It is important as you take this and other exercises that you understand that these operations could be just as easily performed using your own local CAD systems. The bi-directional associativity between the ANSYS Workbench environment and CAD systems allows the Workbench to interact with and modify your CAD models during the design and engineering process based on simulation results. In this exercise you will learn the use of dimensioning tools and the parameter manager. These tools facilitate engineering simulation and your ability to perform various “What if?” and other design studies early in the design process.

Exercise 3 – Named Selections and Localized Loads •

Prerequisite: Exercise 2

There are two areas two areas of communications and collaboration that need to exist when engineering simulation and CAD systems are integrated. This exercise deals with those areas. First, what are named selections? Named selections are in affect tags or labels applied to entities (edges, faces, bodies) or groups of entities in CAD systems. When using the ANSYS Workbench these entities are referred to as named selections. © 2006 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved.

ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

ANSYS 10.0 WORKBENCH TUTORIAL There is little question that most designers when designing a single component or assembly know both how their design is supported or mounted and how it is loaded and where the loads are applied. Using named selections allows supports and loads to be linked to CAD and DesignModeler models that are persistent when designs are modified. This allows simulations on design changes to be fully automated as changes occur. What are localized loads? A simple example might be the footprint of a piece of equipment mounted on a surface in a design model where the equipment itself and its footprint are not defined in a CAD model. The ANSYS DesignModeler supports the definition of surfaces patches on a CAD or DesignModeler model to be imprinted on a surface without having to modify the CAD model itself. This exercise deals with these two capabilities and their use when performing engineering simulations. Exercise 4 – Remote and Combined Loads •

Prerequisite: Exercise 3

In exercise 3 you defined imprinted images or footprints on a portion or a face or surface to which supports or loads are to be applied. The purpose of this capability was to not have to create modified or special CAD models for this purpose. This frees you in performing simulations from having to modify or request modifications of the CAD model. At the same time these local loads may be the result of remote masses associated with these patches that are represented by an un-modeled piece of equipment where the mass and center of gravity are known. This exercise deals with the application of remote (un-attached) forces or masses to these predefined patches. Exercise 5 – Assemblies and Contact •

Prerequisite: Exercise 4

Now that you have learned to deal with simulations of a single part, it is time to learn about how ANSYS Workbench environment addresses assemblies.

ANSYS 10.0 WORKBENCH TUTORIAL In this exercise you will modify your original model to mount the plate you created on a post supported at its base. The automated contact surface definitions used in this exercise (while based on a model created with the ANSYS DesignModeler); work in the same way when CAD assemblies are attached to the Workbench environment. On completion of this exercise you will have examined the workflow associated with the basic use of the ANSYS products from within the ANSYS Workbench environment. Exercise 6, Part 1 – Exploring Simulation The entire quantity and types of engineering simulation capabilities accessible with the ANSYS Workbench environment are beyond the scope of this basic tutorial. The exercises available in the remainder of this tutorial provide a brief view of some of these capabilities. It is presumed at this point that you have completed the introduction and exercises 1 through 5 of the overall tutorial. If you have done so, each of the following exercises can be taken individually based on your areas of interest. •

Exercise 6A – Loads and Load Steps This exercise demonstrates the application of load steps based on masses and accelerations based on discrete vectors to the results of exercises 1 through 5.

•

Exercise 6B – Modal Analysis This exercise uses the results of the previous exercise and explores modal and harmonic simulation to determine the structures natural frequency responses with and without applied loads.

•

Exercise 6C – Optimization This exercise introduces you to the basic capabilities for performing simulation driven design. Included in the exercise are the use shape optimization capabilities to remove excess or on-needed material in a part or component and the use of Design of Experiment (DOE) principals to optimize designs.

Exercise 6, Part 2 – Exploring Simulation •

The exercise uses a predefined model. The exercise is your first introduction to the definition, use and application of varied materials to model produced in CAD or with the DesignModeler to the parts in models or assemblies. •

Exercise 6E - Linear Buckling This exercise introduces you to the basic methods of determining buckling modes and performing linear buckling simulations based on a simple beam or column profile.

•

Exercice 6F – Stress-Life Fatigue This exercise introduces you to a minimum set of tools for performing stress-life fatigue simulations and method used to examine various results from the simulation.

•

Exercise 6G - Solving with 2D and 3D Symmetry If you are familiar with the concepts of symmetry in performing analysis on rotating machinery or mechanisms or other parts whose simulation is symmetric in nature; this exercise introduces you to apply your knowledge of the design to improve simulation performance.

Conclusion We hope when you complete this tutorial that you have a better understanding of the some of the available ANSYS solver technologies as they are accessed using Workbench environment. If you wish to learn more contact your local ANSYS sales office.
