01Preprocessor for Structural Analysis using ANSA
- Week 01 & 02 - Introduction to ANSA GUI and ToolsW01
- In this module, you will be introduced to the CAE domain along with an introduction to FEA basics. You will learn the Graphical User Interface(GUI) of the ANSA tool.
- You will get to know about different solvers and types of analysis carried out using them.
- You will be introduced to basic tools that will help you with geometric cleanups and other deck setups in ANSA.
- The topics covered in this module are
- Introduction to FEA
- ANSA GUI
- Geometric Tools and Topology Cleanup
- Types of CAE Process Tools for Structural CAE
- Types of Elements
- Different Tools used in TOPO Deck
- Manual Mid-surfacing, 2D Meshing and Quality CriteriaW02
- In this module, you will study the basics of 2D meshing.
- You will also learn how to extract mid-surface, deploy 2D mesh on the mid-surface, reconstruct already meshed areas, along with various techniques for achieving the mesh flow.
- You will also learn how to eliminate the tria concentration present in the geometry and capture the important features in the geometry.
- You will be working on a sheet metal component in this module.
- You will also be taught how to achieve mesh quality for the component by assigning the quality criteria parameters.
- You will study the following topics in this module.
- Manual mid surfacing for sheet metal components
- 2D meshing on sheet metal components
- Quality checkup and taking measures to achieve quality
- Introduction to different tools used in mesh deck
- Revising the basic commands
- Basic commands used in TOPO and MESH deck
- Practice model provided
- Manual Mid-surfacing - Plastic Trims and Cast PartsW03
- In this module, you will be learning about extracting the mid-surface and working on a plastic part.
- Plastic parts are of variable thickness therefore, extracting the mid-surface and assigning the thickness is more tricky when compared to the sheet metal component.
- You will study the following topics in this module
- Manual mid-surfacing for plastic trim components & cast parts
- 2D meshing, quality checkup
- Different tools used in mesh deck
- Solid Meshing(Tetra & Hexa)W04
- In this module, you will learn the different tools and techniques to generate the Tetra mesh for a given geometry.
- You will also learn the different methods involved in generating a Hexa mesh.
- You will also understand the quality checks for Tetra elements and how to rectify failed tetra elements.
- You will study the following topics in this module.
- Establishing solid (Tetra) meshing on 2 different components
- Solid (Tetra) meshing
- 3D meshing quality criteria
- Volume mesh deck
- Introduction to solid (Hexa) meshing
- Solid (Hexa) meshing
- Volume mesh deck
- Connections (Seat and Door)W05
- In this module, you will be introduced to connections in ANSA.
- This enables the user to generate FE models for durability, NVH, and crash analysis.
- Connections are now efficiently designed with the help of the tool.
- You will also generate connections for the automotive seat & front door.
- These are the topics that you will learn in this module, different types of connectors such as:
- Two Nodes RBE2
- Cluster RBE2
- RBE2-CBUSH-RBE2
- RBE2-HEXA-RBE2
- Nut and Bolt representation
- Seam weld data representation
- Different operations such as:
- Converting and realizing operations
- Connection manager operations
- Assigning mass to a node
- Week 07 - Introduction to Batch Meshing/CastingW06
- In this module, you will learn about batch meshing, casting methods, and their applications in industries.
- The 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, and there will be 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
- Introduction to Morphing BasicsW07
- In this module, you will learn about a few morphing techniques in ANSA.
- ANSA allows a full-fledged morphing menu that 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 in FE model
- Morphing in CAD geometry
- Week 01 & 02 - Introduction to ANSA GUI and ToolsW01
