Seeking Advice: First step in Ansys for DOE

Seeking Advice: First step in Ansys for DOE

Seeking Advice: First step in Ansys for DOE

(OP)
Hi all,

Having over 8 years of industry experience and engineering background.I am just starting my first step into Ansys for designing and analysing plastic components. Wish to hear from experts the learning steps involved, areas to be focused to gain expertise with in short period of time and execute projects.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Seeking Advice: First step in Ansys for DOE

I think that your best bet would be to work through the Ansys Classic tutorials in the help manual. They're quite good and they'll get you started with the command interface.
I would run through them once with the GUI and then again with command lines. Ansys parametric design language (APDL) has a fairly steep learning curve, but is extremely powerful.

One of the trickiest things to get a handle on is meshing, since you have to work around software limitations. The software doesn't necessarily know how to brick mesh an entire geometry, so analysts often have to chop up their geometry into simpler pieces for the meshing software. Since how you slice things up has more to do with software limitations than physics, it takes a bit of knack.

Hi flash3780,

 Yes I need to put myself through the tutorials and meshing basics.
Thanks for the detailed reply.
