In addition, it could be used for computer sessions of short courses on
stress analysis techniques and FEA offered by Mechanical Engineering
departments.
After giving a brief introduction to the finite element analysis and
modeling, various guided examples have been included in this book.
Several new tutorials have been developed and others adapted from
different sources including ANSYS manuals in 2-volumes, ANSYS
workshops, and Internet resources. Tutorials have been arranged in each
volume according to the flow of the course and covered topics, such as
solid modeling using 2D and 3D primitives available in ANSYS, dynamic
analysis (harmonic and modal analysis), and thermal analysis.
