Workbench - Mechanical Structural Nonlinearities Introduction Workbench - Mechanical Structural Nonlinearities

Welcome! Welcome to the Structural Nonlinearities in ANSYS Workbench Mechanical training course! This training course covers basic procedures for performing structural nonlinear analyses using Workbench Mechanical. It is intended for users already familiar with the procedures for performing a linear static analysis in Workbench Mechanical environment. Prerequisite is ANSYS Workbench – Mechanical Introduction DesignModeler, Design Exploration and Meshing Application modules of ANSYS Workbench are covered in separate classes.

Course Materials The Training Manual you have is an exact copy of the slides. Workshop descriptions and instructions are included in the training manual. Copies of the workshop files are available (upon request) from the instructor. Several advanced training courses are available on specific topics.
