Why This Course
There are a number of practical situations when design engineers are asked to analyze problems where the response of a structure cannot be simply assessed using linear assumptions. Other situations involve stability problems for structures like columns and vacuum tanks. Also, there are scenarios when a part or assembly is subjected to cyclic loading and a structure may fail well below material’s yield strength. This course aims at addressing above mentioned topics and presenting some of the advance analysis options available in ANSYS Workbench like nonlinear structural analysis, buckling analysis and ANSYS fatigue tool utility. On successful completion of course, trainees are expected to apply these techniques into their analysis process to solve real world problems.
