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.
