ANSYS
ANSYS Information
Vendor: SAS IP
Category: Finite element analysis software package
Local Documentation: notes
The version run on the Engineering Computer Network workstations is the university
high edition, which is available only to students. It has all of the same features
as the commercial version, but has help files and other resources that are geared
towards university students.
ANSYS Description
ANSYS is a finite element analysis software package that is used to break
down structural and thermodynamics problems that are too difficult to solve
by hand or with an ordinary calculator into a number of “finite elements.”
A solution is generated for each element, and they are combined to create an
overall solution to the problem. In addition to solution generation tools, comprehensive
analysis and graphics tools are also included, which allow the user to effectively
visually model various types of systems.
ANSYS Usage
What It Does
Information, such as nodal coordinates and mechanical and thermal loading, is
entered into a text editor and is uploaded into ANSYS, or is entered directly
into the ANSYS program using the main menu tools. An analysis application is
then run, and ANSYS generates a solution for the uploaded problem. This software
package may be used to analyze any type of mechanical loading, structural, or
thermodynamics problem.
