Background
ANSYS is a finite element analysis (FEA) software package. It uses a preprocessor software
engine to create geometry. Then it uses a solution routine to apply loads to the meshed
geometry. Finally it outputs desired results in post-processing.
Finite element analysis was first developed by the airplane industry to predict the behavior of
metals when formed for wings. Now FEA is used throughout almost all engineering design
including mechanical systems and civil engineering structures.
ANSYS is used throughout industry in many engineering disciplines. This software package
was even used by the engineers that investigated the World Trade Center collapse in 2001.
More information about the ANSYS FEA package and other ANSYS products can be found
at <www.ansys.com>.
• FEM grew out of aerospace industry and mainly post-WW II jets, missiles, space flight
• First developed in 1943 by R. Courant- utilized Ritz method of numerical analysis and
minimization of variational calculus to obtain approximate solutions to vibration
systems.
• By early 1970s- start of mainframe computers owned by the aeronautics, automotive,
defense, and nuclear industries
The fastest, easiest and most logical way to use ANSYS is through the Main Menu located
on the far left-hand side of the screen (Figure 1). It may look intimidating at first glance
however think about the information that you need to solve for all of the components in a
structure. You need to know the position, length, and material of the structural members, the
position, magnitude and direction of all the loads on the structure, and the constraints on the
structure. In order to get ANSYS to work properly, you simply need to tell the program this
information and it will do the rest for you!
MANIPAL UNIVERSITY JAIPUR
The Main Menu is designed so that you complete the steps required to build your model by
beginning at the top of the menu and working your way down. For the purposes of this
tutorial, you will need to be familiar with three of the commands on the Main Menu:
Preprocessor, Solution, and Post-processor (noted as General Postproc on the ANSYS main
menu) – these are the first three commands on the Main Menu. The construction steps to be
accomplished in each command are listed below:
Preprocessor Solution Post-processor
1. Member length 1. Load position Get displacement member
2. Member position 2. Load magnitude force data in both graphical
3. Member material 3. Load direction and text output.
You will use this Main Menu just like Windows Explorer or any other function that is
organized in a “tree fashion”.
You should complete these three major steps: (1) Preprocessing stage, (2) Solution, and (3)
Post-processing stage in the order given. If you do not, ANSYS will not know how to
properly solve your structure and give you bad results.
The ANSYS program has many finite element analysis capabilities, ranging from a simple,
linear, static analysis to a complex, nonlinear, transient dynamic analysis. The analysis guide
manuals in the ANSYS documentation set describe specific procedures for performing
analyses for different engineering disciplines.
Building a Model
Building a finite element model requires more of an ANSYS user's time than any other part
of the analysis. First, you specify a job name and analysis title. Then, you use the PREP7
preprocessor to define the element types, element real constants, material properties, and the
model geometry.
As with element types and real constants, each set of material properties has a material
reference number. The table of material reference numbers versus material property sets is
called the material table. Within one analysis, you may have multiple material property sets
(to correspond with multiple materials used in the model). ANSYS identifies each set with a
unique reference number.
Main Menu > Preprocessor> Material Props > Material Models.
With solid modelling, you describe the geometric shape of your model, and then instruct the
ANSYS program to automatically mesh the geometry with nodes and elements. You can
control the size and shape of the elements that the program creates. With direct generation,
you "manually" define the location of each node and the connectivity of each element.
Several convenience operations, such as copying patterns of existing nodes and elements,
symmetry reflection, etc. are available.
Applying Loads
The word loads as used in this manual includes boundary conditions (constraints, supports, or
boundary field specifications) as well as other externally and internally applied loads. Loads
in the ANSYS program are divided into six categories:
DOF Constraints
Forces
Surface Loads
Body Loads
Inertia Loads
Coupled-field Loads
You can apply most of these loads either on the solid model (keypoints, lines, and areas) or
the finite element model (nodes and elements).
Two important load-related terms you need to know are load step and substep. A load step is
simply a configuration of loads for which you obtain a solution. In a structural analysis, for
example, you may apply wind loads in one load step and gravity in a second load step. Load
steps are also useful in dividing a transient load history curve into several segments.
Practice 1: Bars of Tapered Cross section Area
Consider the Tapered bar shown in figure below. Determine the Nodal Displacement,
Stress in each element, Reaction forces
5 2 2
E = 2 x 10 N/mm2, Area at root, A1 = 1000 mm , Area at the end, A2 = 500 mm .
Solution: The tapered bar is modified into 2 elements as shown below with modified area of
cross section.
(A1 + A2)/2= (1000+500)/2=750 mm2
A1 = (1000+750)/2= 875 mm2
A2= (500+750)/2=625 mm2
L1 = 187.5 mm & L2 = 187.5 mm

Theory
1. Specification Tree:
• Provides access to the history of how a part was constructed, and shows the product structure
• Parts can be modified by selecting them from the spec. tree.
2. Toolbars:
As mentioned before, the different workbenches contain different toolbars. Although some toolbars will appear
in almost every workbench. This section will discuss how to customize your toolbars.
In most of the workbenches, there are too many toolbars to display in one column or row along the right side of
the screen and along the bottom of the screen. In this case, it is important to move the toolbars around so that
you can view all of them. If you can’t view a toolbar, then you can’t use the toolbar.
3. The Compass:
The Compass provides you with instant access to PLM information at any time, on any object. It is present
in all document windows and is composed of four quadrants(North, South, East, West).
4. The Bar:
The Bar serves as a quick access tool for:
Searching for data
Examining the impacts of modifications
Collaborating with people
Saving the modifications to the database

Sketcher:
The Sketcher workbench is a set of tools that helps you create and constrain 2D geometries. Features (pads,
pockets, shafts, etc...) may then be created solids or modifications to solids using these 2D profiles. You can
access the Sketcher workbench in various ways. Two simple ways are by using the top pull down menu (Start –
Mechanical Design – Sketcher), or by selecting the Sketcher icon. When you enter the sketcher, CATIA requires
that you choose a plane to sketch on. You can choose this plane either before or after you select the Sketcher
icon. To exit the sketcher, select the Exit Workbench icon.
The Sketcher workbench contains the following standard workbench specific toolbars.
• Profile toolbar: The commands located in this toolbar allow you to create simple geometries (rectangle,
circle, line, etc...) and more complex geometries (profile, spline, etc...).
• Operation toolbar: Once a profile has been created, it can be modified using commands such as trim, mirror,
chamfer, and other commands located in the Operation toolbar.
• Constraint toolbar: Profiles may be constrained with dimensional (distances, angles, etc...) or geometrical
(tangent, parallel, etc...) constraints using the commands located in the Constraint toolbar.
• Sketch tools toolbar: The commands in this toolbar allow you to work in different modes which make
sketching easier.
• User Selection Filter toolbar: Allows you to activate different selection filters. Copyrighted Material
Copyrighted Material Copyrighted Material Copyrighted Material.
• Visualization toolbar: Allows you to, among other things to cut the part by the sketch plane and choose
lighting effects and other factors that influence how the part is visualized.
• Tools toolbar: Allows you to, among others other things, to analyze a sketch for problems, and create a
datum.
The Sketch tools toolbar contains icons that activate and deactivate different work modes. These work modes
assist you in drawing 2D profiles. Reading from left to right, the toolbar contains the following work modes;
(Each work mode is active if the icon is orange and inactive if it is blue.)
