Engineers capable of analyzing the dynamic response of structures would benefit from this two-day course focusing on modal, harmonic and transient dynamic analysis. Upon completion, analysts should be able to:

  • calculate natural frequencies and mode shapes of linear elastic structures (modal analysis)

  • analyze the response of structures under the action of time-varying loads (transient analyses)

  • analyze the response of structures with loads varying sinusoidally (harmonic response analyses)
Prerequisite: ANSYS Mechanical APDL Part I Introduction.

Course Topics Include:
  • Modal Analysis (definition & purpose, terminology & concepts, procedure)
  • Harmonic Analysis
  • Transient Dynamic Analysis
  • Restarting an Analysis
  • Spectrum Analysis
  • Mode Superposition
  • Modal Analysis - Advanced Topics (prestressed modal analysis, modal cyclic symmetry, large deflection modal analysis)
Each course chapter is followed by "hands-on" workshops and exercises.
