Ansys Complete Form – Ansys Modal Analysis Steps

Introduction to ANSYS

ANSYS is a general-purpose finite element analysis (FEA) software package. Finite Element Analysis is a numerical method of deconstructing a complex system into very small pieces (of user-designated size) called elements. The software implements equations that govern the behavior of these elements and solves them all, creating a comprehensive explanation of how the system acts as a whole. These results can then be presented in tabulated or graphical form. This type of analysis is typically used to design and optimize a system that is too complex to analyze manually. Systems that may fall into this category are very complex due to their geometry, scale, or governing equations.

ANSYS is the standard FEA teaching tool in the Mechanical Engineering Department of many colleges. ANSYS is also used in Civil and Electrical Engineering, as well as in Physics and Chemistry departments.

What does ANSYS mean?

ANSYS was founded in 1970 by John A. Swanson as *Swanson Analysis Systems, Inc* (SASI).

In 1994, the new owners adopted SASI's leading software, called ANSYS, as their flagship product and designated ANSYS, Inc. as the new company name.

There is no proven explanation, but you can say that ANSYS stands for 'ANALYSIS SYSTEMS'

ANSYS – Systems Analysis

ANSYS provides a cost-effective way to explore the performance of products or processes in a virtual environment. This type of product development is called virtual prototyping.

With virtual prototyping techniques, users can iterate multiple scenarios to optimize the product long before manufacturing begins. This allows a reduction in the level of risk and the cost of ineffective projects. The multifaceted nature of ANSYS also provides a means to ensure that users are able to see the effect of a design on all product behavior, be it electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, etc.

Generic steps to resolve any issue in ANSYS

Just like solving any problem analytically, you need to define (1) your solution domain, (2) the physical model, (3) boundary conditions, and (4) the physical properties. You then solve the problem and present the results. In numerical methods, the main difference is an extra step called mesh generation. This is the step that breaks down the complex model into small elements that become solvable in an otherwise very complex situation. Below describes the processes in terminology a little more in tune with the software.

  • Construct Geometry – Construct a two-dimensional or three-dimensional representation of the object to be modeled and tested using the ANSYS work plane coordinate system.
  • Define material properties – Now that the part exists, define a library of the necessary materials that make up the object (or design) being modeled. This includes thermal and mechanical properties.
  • Generate mesh – At this point, ANSYS understands the composition of the part. Now define how the modeled system should be divided into finite parts.
  • Apply Loads – Once the system is fully designed, the last task is to load the system with constraints such as physical loads or boundary conditions.
  • Get solution – This is actually a step, because ANSYS needs to understand in which state (steady state, transient… etc.) the problem should be solved.
  • Present the results – Once the solution is obtained, there are several ways to present the ANSYS results, choose from various options such as tables, graphs and contour plots.
