Beschreibung
The Finite Element Method and Applications with ANSYS® provides the reader with theoretical and practical knowledge of the finite element method and with the skills required to analyze engineering problems with ANSYS®, a commercially available FEA program. This self-contained, introductory text minimizes the need for additional reference material, covering the fundamental topics in finite element methods, as well as advanced topics concerning modeling and analysis with ANSYS®. These subjects are introduced through extensive examples from various engineering disciplines and are presented in a clear, step-by-step fashion. The book focuses on the use of ANSYS® through both the Graphics User Interface (GUI) and the ANSYS® Parametric Design Language (APDL). This volume addresses these specific areas:An introduction to FEM Fundamentals and analysis capabilities of ANSYS®, with practical modeling considerations Fundamentals of discretization and approximation functions Modeling techniques and details of mesh generation in ANSYS® Creating solutions and reviewing results Finite element equations based on the method of weighted residuals and on the principle of minimum potential energy The use of commands and APDL and the development of macro files Example problems and solutions corresponding to linear structural analysis Example problems and solutions related to heat transfer and moisture diffusion Nonlinear structural problems Advanced subjects such as submodeling, substructuring, interaction with external files, and modification of ANSYS®-GUI Additional materials for this book, including the "input" files for the example problems, as well as the colored figures and screen shots, allowing them to be regenerated on the reader’s own computer, may be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com.Students, researchers, and practicing engineers will find this an essential reference for use in predicting and simulating the physical behavior of complex engineering systems using ANSYS®.
A theoretical and practical run-down of the finite element method (FEM) giving readers the skills required to analyze engineering problems with ANSYS®. Additional materials for this book, including the "input" files for the example problems, as well as the colored figures and screen shots, allowing them to be regenerated on the reader’s own computer, may be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com.
The finite element method (FEM) has become a staple for predicting and simulating the physical behavior of complex engineering systems. The commercial finite element analysis (FEA) programs have gained common acceptance among engineers in industry and researchers at universities and government laboratories. Therefore, academic engineering departments include graduate or undergraduate senior-level courses that cover not only the theory of FEM but also its applications using the commercially available FEA programs. The goal of this book is to provide students with a theoretical and practical knowledge of the finite element method and the skills required to analyze engineering problems with ANSYS®, a commercially available FEA program. This book, designed for seniors and first-year graduate students, as well as practicing engineers, is introductory and self-contained in order to minimize the need for additional reference material. In addition to the fundamental topics in finite element methods, it presents advanced topics concerning modeling and analysis with ANSYS®. These topics are introduced through extensive examples in a step-by-step fashion from various engineering disciplines. The book focuses on the use of ANSYS® through both the Graphics User Interface (GUI) and the ANSYS® Parametric Design Language (APDL). Furthermore, it includes a CD-ROM with the "inpuf files for the example problems so that the students can regenerate them on their own computers. Because of printing costs, the printed figures and screen shots are all in gray scale. However, color versions are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM.
In-depth presentation of advanced features of ANSYS®, such as APDL and GUI, and nonlinear aspects of ANSYS®
Suitable for use as a textbook for advanced-level students
This user-friendly book provides the reader with a theoretical and practical knowledge of the finite element method (FEM) and with the skills required to analyze engineering problems with ANSYS®. A self-contained, introductory text, it minimizes the need for additional reference material, covering the fundamental topics in FEM as well as advanced topics concerning modeling and analysis with ANSYS®. Extensive examples from various engineering disciplines are presented in a step-by-step fashion, focusing on the use of ANSYS® through both the Graphics User Interface (GUI) and the ANSYS® Parametric Design Language (APDL). The text details more than 40 example problems, with solutions demonstrated in a step-by-step fashion, primarily through the use of GUI and, to a lesser extent, APDL.
