In this workshop we read geometry, cut it in half to take advantage of symmetry, suppress unneeded features, split surfaces for load application, and transfer the model into Simulation and into ANSYS Classic for later analysis.
Workshop 2 - Geometry Simplification of a Grease Seal Assembly
In this workshop we demonstrate the need for the freeze/unfreeze functionality while simplifying the assembly through feature suppression and sketching.
Workshop 3 - Midsurface Extraction, Midsurface Extension, and Shell Modeling of a Sheetmetal Assembly
In this workshop we read the geometry for this 3 part sheetmetal assembly into DM from a SAT file. We extract and extend midsurfaces so that the parts are connected. This model produces a finite element mesh with the parts properly connected.
Workshop 4 - Slicing Predefined Geometry to Enable Brick Meshing
In this workshop we read geometry into DesignModeler, which produces will initially only mesh with tetrahedral elements. Slicing techniques are then used to create geometry that is easily brick meshed. Efficient brick meshed model are critical for nonlinear applications with long solution times.
Workshop 5 - DesignModeler and DesignXplorer Optimization of a Valve Bonnet
In this workshop we read a SAT file into DesignModeler, which produces a static model without parameters or intelligence. We use DesignModeler to convert the portion of the model to be optimized into parametric geometry. In Workbench Simulation we perform analysis and manual design optimization using the newly created parameters. Next we take the model into the Workbench DesignXplorer VT product for further design optimization. In the last portion of the model we use Workbench DesignXplorer to do a probabilistic design analysis, in which we study the effects of bolt preload, flange thickness, and fillet radius on the analysis results.
Workshop 6 - Alternative Method for Creating Beam Spiders using Workbench
In this workshop we take sheet metal geometry that may have previously been connected by a beam spider with older technology and illustrate how the new Workbench technology can be used to extract midsurfaces and tie together bolt holes very easily.
In this workshop we read the geometry for this 3 part sheetmetal assembly into DM from a SAT file. We extract and extend midsurfaces so that the parts are connected. We make new weld surfaces for full welds between some parts and stitch welds between other parts. We split surfaces for load application. This model produces a finite element mesh with the parts properly connected and is then solved in Simulation.
In this workshop we take a full 360 degree model and extract the 2D surface such that it lies in the correct X-Y plane orientation for subsequent 2D axisymmetric analysis in Simulation.
Workshop 9 - Construction of a Yoke
This workshop creates geometry from scratch in DesignModeler using a variety of modeling and sketching features to build the user's experience level.
Workshop 10 - Beam Modeling of a Flight Simulator Platform
In this workshop we create a beam model from scratch in DesignModeler while defining cross sections and assigning them to the appropriate line bodies.
This workshop extracts a 3D fluid domain from pre-existing geometry using the 'Fill' tool and boolean operations.
