Welcome!Welcome to the ANSYS Workbench Mechanical Heat Transf

course!

This training course covers the basics of using Mechanicalin p

thermal analyses.

It is intended for Mechanical users regardless of the CAD softw

Course Objectives:

The prerequisite Introduction to Mechanical training (or equivalent

is assumed.

This course is intended to expand on the thermal analysis capabilitie

in the introduction to Mechanical training course material.

Although the underlying thermal analysis capabilities of the solver is

MAPDL, this course is distinct from the Heat Transfer Analysis with M

training course.

B. ANSYS Workbench Overview

What isANSYSWorkbench?

ANSYS Workbenchprovides a platform for various ANSYS applications.

Workbench provides bi-directional parametric integration with CAD.

Examples of Workbench Applications:

Mechanical: performs FE analyses in various disciplines (e.g. structural, thermal, etc

DesignModeler: creates and modifies geometry as preprocessor for analysis model

Meshing: creates structural and CFD meshes.

CFD: using CFX and Fluent solvers.

Design Exploration:performs optimizations using either deterministic or probabilisof experiments, six sigma, response surfaces, etc..

Explict STR : performs explicit dynamics analyses.

External Data Mapper

C. ANSYS Mechanical OverviewAnalysis types available in Mechanical

Structural (static and transient):

Linear and nonlinear structural analyses.

Dynamic Capabilities:

Modal, harmonic, random vibration, flexible, transient and rig

dynamics.

Heat Transfer (steady state and transient):

Solve for conduction, convection and radiation conditions.

Temperature-dependent (nonlinear) boundary conditions and

allowed.

Magnetostatics:

Performs 3-D static magnetic field analysis.

F. Workbench File Management - Revie

Workbench creates a project file and a series osubdirectories to manage allfiles associated

with the analyses in the project schematic


11/15


Archive quickly generates a single

compressed file containing all pertinent

files. Its purposes: Archival, Project Relocation

Storage Reduction (compression),

Electronic Transfer

Project Archives

G. Working With Units

The Units menu in Workbench:

Allows access to predefined unit systems

Allows the creation of custom unit systems

Controls unit display for Engineering Data,

Parameters and Charts

Activate the Units System dialog to control

Units can be display in the Active Project System or as they were

defined in their source (e.g. CAD system)
