Finite Element Analysis with Workbench 2023 R2: A Tutorial Approach

ANSYS Workbench 2023 R2: A Tutorial Approach textbook introduces the readers to ANSYS Workbench 2023, one of the world’s leading, widely distributed, and popular commercial CAE packages. It is used across the globe in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, nuclear, electronics, biomedical, and so on. ANSYS provides simulation solutions that enable designers to simulate design performance. This textbook covers various simulation streams of ANSYS such as Static Structural, Modal, Steady-State, and Transient Thermal analyses. Structured in pedagogical sequence for effective and easy learning, the content in this textbook will help FEA analysts in quickly understanding the capability and usage of tools of ANSYS Workbench.
