Course Overview
The ANSYS Professional program is designed to turn engineers into simulation experts capable of performing complex structural and thermal analyses. This course moves beyond basic "Push-Button" FEA, focusing on the underlying physics and numerical methods required for accurate results. You will master the ANSYS Workbench interface, learn to define complex contact interactions, and perform linear and non-linear simulations. By the end of this course, you will be proficient in interpreting stress, strain, and fatigue results to make data-driven design recommendations that ensure product safety and reliability.
