Introduction To ANSYS Workbench

The document is an introduction to using Ansys Workbench. It describes the main components of the Workbench interface including the top menu, toolbox, and project schematic. It provides information on predefined analysis systems for structural, thermal, and other simulations. In particular, it focuses on describing the static structural system and its engineering data, geometry, model, setup, and results components. It also provides guidance on importing geometry, creating new geometry using the design modeler, and includes exercises for students to practice these skills.

Toolbox Analysis Systems


We have already predefined systems:

Toolbox Component Systems


We have the individual components of the systems:

Toolbox Custom Systems


We have predefined some systems with some interactions between them. It is also possible to define new custom-systems.

Project Schematic
It is possible to solve different problems with shared data. It is also possible to use results from one problem as input data to another one (i.e. fluid-structure interaction)

Static Structural System


We will work with the Static Structural system. It is composed by: Engineering data: Definition of material properties Geometry: Def. of the problem geometry Model: Def. of the mesh Setup: Def. of the boundary conditions Results: Contains the different results requied to the solver.

Engineering Data - Exercise


Create a custom material for Aluminum Alloy type 5052-O. The parameters that have to be defined are those of: Density Thermal expansion Isotropic elasticity Yield and ultimate strength (defined as multilinear isotropic hardening) Yield and ultimate strength as failure variables to be used in an elastic material. The numerical value of each parameter can be obtained from http://www.makeitfrom.com/

Design Modeler Import Geometry


It is possible to import the geometry from other codes such as Catia, Rhinoceros, Solid Works, etc.

Design Modeler New Geometry


If instead of importing the geometry from another code or from another problem defined in the same workbench we decide to create a new geometry, clicking on NEW GEOMETRY will launch the desing modeler.
