Ansys 16 Tutorials & Training Materials

ANSYS, Inc. announced the availability of its leading engineering simulation solution, ANSYS 16.0, offers advanced functionality enabling engineers to rapidly innovate new products.

The best way in which you can learn to use and understand ANSYS, is to install it first on your computer and use training materials on internet. In this moment, you must focus on tutorials which resolve very simple problem, which can be done very easy and there solution can be check easy with some hand calculus. Because not only to know command from ANSYS is important (attached materials, contacts through parts, boundary condition, etc) also the mesh is important, do it in parallel tutorials which learn you how to made different type of mesh, how differ the results only if you will change mesh. Of course, to learn how to use Design Modeller is important too, especial to made simplifications on bodies imported from different softwares and formats.

After you have already little experience and you know basic commands and principle, participate to specialized training. In this manner you will fix your goal and the progress will be visible by you. Don´t forget that the study which you will observed on Internet is made by the engineer which have some years of work with ANSYS. So, be realist and start with begin because there is your final scope to be an specialist. Unfortunately for this you must begin with basics knowledge.

MicroCFD 2D Virtual Wind Tunnel Pro 1.8

MicroCFD analyzes 2D and axisymmetric subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow (Mach 0.1 to 10) over multi-element configurations on a Cartesian cut-cell mesh. Flow visualization is provided through color maps of local Mach number, density, pressure, and temperature, including streamline plots. An aerodynamic force line instantly reveals the center of pressure of any configuration.

MicroCFD can model vehicles in ground effect through a 2D simulation of flow along their centerline. Bodies of revolution such as spherical projectiles, bullets, space capsules, or rocket nozzles are tested in axisymmetry mode. Airfoil cascades can be set up for compressor or turbine blade profile analysis, and both supersonic ramp and spike inlets can be modeled. The free nanoCAD allows for easy geometry creation and DWG / DXF imports.

MicroCFD runs a boundary layer modeled, viscous, compressible flow solver for high Reynolds number flow with turbulent wakes, which can capture both steady and moving shock waves. A solution is marched in time from an impulsive start and converges to steady or periodic state within an hour on a system with minimum requirements. Systems with multi-core processors or CUDA enabled NVIDIA graphics cards will complete a test in minutes.

MicroCFD runs on Microsoft Windows via simple "point and click" operations, which are outlined in an easy-to-follow tutorial. A two-part narrated instructional video shows its simplicity. The software has been validated through experimental data in 2D (NACA airfoil) and axisymmetric (G7 bullet) flow studies and has been put to the test by a diverse number of clients in academia, government, and industry.

MicroCFD 3D Virtual Wind Tunnel 1.0

The 3D Virtual Wind Tunnel imports stereolithography (STL) files, a standard CAD format based on surface triangulation. It runs a boundary layer modeled, viscous, compressible flow solver for high Reynolds number flow with turbulent wakes.

All simulations shown below ran on an HP Pavilion Elite (h8-1360t) in four to eight hours using either CUDA core GPU or quad-core CPU. The Cartesian mesh consisted of 31 million fluid and solid cells, equally divided into near field and far field of the flow.

The 3D Virtual Wind Tunnel installs on Microsoft Windows Vista / 7 / 8 and requires 6 GB of system RAM and an HD display (1920x1080). Please watch the video tutorial, which will demonstrate its ease of use.

Pointwise

Pointwise announces the latest release of its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) meshing software featuring direct integration with overset grid assembly (OGA) software.

Overset gridding is a technique that avoids the topological complexity of generating abutting, point-to-point connected, multi-block grids by allowing the component grid blocks to overlap. The price paid for that flexibility is the need to ensure a sufficient degree of overlap so the CFD solver can accurately share data between the component grids. The overlap is computed using overset grid assembly software. Users of OGA software typically rely on a circuitous collection of home-grown tools that are patched together. By integrating OGA (in the form of the PEGASUS and Suggar++ software packages) with Pointwise, the entire process is made more efficient
