Getting Started
Copy the course materials to your directory and start ANSYS: unix% cd ~ unix% cp ~langlais/ansys-course.tar.gz . unix% gunzip ansys-course.tar.gz unix% tar -xvf ansys-course.tar unix% cd ansys/batch unix% module add ansys unix% ansys54 -g -p ansysrf

Meshing
Free Meshing y use ANSYS MeshTool with the Smart Mesher y can automatically mesh any geometry y dicult to control element shape Mapped Meshing y easy to control element shapes and sizes y can lead to more accurate results y more dicultneed to split areas and volumes a certain way

Solution
y dierent solvers for dierent problemsmake sure you use the right one! y make sure you know the DOFs of your element before applying the BCs y for structural problems, remember to distribute loads over several nodes

Post Processing
y contour plots using Plot Results > Nodal Solu ... or Element Table y line plots using Path Operations > y print plots using PlotCntrls -> Hard Copy ...
