Mechanical Engineers, including Automotive Engineers, Materials Engineers, Aerospace Engineers, Industrial Engineers, Structural Engineers, and many other subdisciplines. Some users will appreciate having working knowledge of Ansys Mechanical in the Workbench environment, although this is not required.

A technical education and a background in the fundamentals of finite element analysis are recommended.

Please note that for those wishing to learn the Workbench version of Ansys Mechanical, the “ Ansys Mechanical Getting Started” training course is recommended. With this foundation in place, users can apply this knowledge to efficiently set up, solve, and postprocess virtually any type of analysis. The Mechanical APDL workflow, graphical user interface, and APDL command syntax will be introduced. This course introduces new users, or experienced Ansys Mechanical users, to the Ansys Mechanical APDL user interface. All these benefits are accessible within the Ansys Mechanical APDL user interface. It also offers many conveniences such as parameterization, macros, branching and looping, and complex math operations. APDL is the foundation for all sophisticated features, many of which are not exposed in the Workbench Mechanical user interface.

Regardless of the type of simulation, each model is represented by a powerful scripting language … the Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). Thermal, Structural, Acoustic, Piezoelectric, Electrostatic and Circuit Coupled Electromagnetics are just a few examples of what can be simulated. The Ansys finite element solvers enable a breadth and depth of capabilities unmatched by anyone in the world of computer-aided simulation.
