Recommended for engineers who analyze structural nonlinear phenomena such as large deflection, plasticity or contact, this two-day course will aid in modeling geometric, material and contact nonlinearities, and in obtaining converged solutions with accurate results.
After completion, mechanical analysts should have a basic understanding of how to analyze structures with geometric nonlinearities, implement large strain theory in a nonlinear analysis and analyze structures with plasticity and contact nonlinearities.
Prerequisite: ANSYS Mechanical Introduction
Course Topics Include:
- Nonlinearities Overview
- Obtaining the Solution
- Postprocessing
- Basic Geometric Nonlinearities
- Basic Plasticity
- Introduction to Contact
