Preprocessor for Structural Analysis using ANSA
0% EMI Option Available
Domain : FEA, Structural Meshing, CAE
Pre-requisites : For Mechanical and Automotive Engineers
Introduction
A Quick Overview
ANSA is an advanced multidisciplinary CAE pre-processing tool that provides all the necessary functionality for full-model build-up, from CAD data to ready-to-run solver input file, in a single integrated environment. In FEA analysis the workflow can be categorized into 3 phases such as pre-processing, solving, and post-processing. This course purely focuses on pre-processing/modeling a component for FEA analysis. If you are someone who is interested in the CAE domain this course will help you to get into the industry as a CAE modeler/mesher.
Anyone who enrolls in this course will be able to learn a CAE Preprocessing Tool which includes tasks such as geometry clean up, midsurfacing, 1D, 2D and 3D meshing operations, connections establishments, morphing, etc. By learning how to use this tool you will be able to model/mesh any components that are required in the FEA Domain.
At the end of this course, you will be skilled in 1D, 2D ( shell meshing ), 3D ( solid meshing ), and also in connectors. There are several complex models in the course work that will help you in practicing the techniques taught in this course.
After completing this course you will be able to apply for various CAE roles within the automotive sector and other industries.

WEEK 7
In this module, you will learn about batch meshing, casting methods, and its applications in industries. Batch meshing/casting method will help you to model the component efficiently and quicker than if you tried to model them manually. But these tools do not guarantee the best results always, there will areas where you need to manually check the results.
You will study the following topics in this module
- Introduction to casting & batch meshing operations
Auto mid surfacing and meshing by using casting and skin methods
WEEK 8
In this module, you will learn about a few morphing techniques in ANSA. ANSA allows a full-fledged morphing menu which is completely integrated with ANSA's interface. The functions of the morphing menu can be used to efficiently re-shape both FE and/or geometry-based models.
You will study the following topics in this module,
Direct morphing
Box morphing
Hatches
Morphing was done in FE model
Morphing done in CAD geometry
Projects Overview
Modeling of an Automotive IP Trim Component
You will be provided with an IP substrate component. You have to model the same by extracting mid surface and meshing the whole component by achieving all the mentioned quality criteria parameters.
Modeling of an Automotive Suspension Assembly
You will be provided with a suspension assembly of a car. You have to clean up the geometry and check for parts where the connections can be established and also model the whole component while maintaining the quality criteria.
