The ANSYS Rigid and Flexible Dynamic Analysis training course covers rigid and flexible body kinematics analysis using the ANSYS Mechanical interface.
Students attending this 1 day course will learn how to perform a rigid body analysis that assumes rigid links between joints of a multi-bodied structure and calculates motion only at those joints. In addition, students will learn how to perform a Flexible body analysis that is similar to a Rigid body analysis except that it includes not just the joint motion but also considers the stiffness, mass, and damping effects of the flexible links.
The advantages of a Rigid body analysis include:- Very fast solutions
- Rigid bodies are connected with joints resulting in a minimum numbere of DOF
- Very robust, no convergence issues
- Graphics provide complete visualization of the part motion
- Can be used interactively to test kinematics
- Can include springs and dampers
- Bodies can be flexible
- All nonlinearities are supported
- All boundary conditions are supported
- Surface to surface contact between bodies can be included
- Rigid or flexible can be used on a part bt part basis
- Introduction to ANSYS Rigid and Flexible Dynamic Analysis
- Rigid Body Dynamic Setup
- Joints and Springs
- Rigid Body Dynamic Solution Setup and Joint Conditions
- Rigid Body Dynamic Postprocessing
