Introductory Texts for ANSYS?

[solidmess]

Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone here can recommend a good introductory text to ANYSYS, specifically about static/dynamic tructural analysis and computation flow dynamics.

I don't have any experience with ANSYS and I'm looking to gain some ground with Workbench to round off my engineering tool belt.

If you register with ansys.com there are all kinds of goodies on their customer portal:

Animated Tutorials, Powerpoints, etc.

Consider going through the Ansys APDL tutorials provided in the help. Learning APDL is much more powerful than learning to steer the GUI.

If you register with ansys.com there are all kinds of goodies on their customer portal:

the problem is that you need the customer number afaik... which you don't always have access to (management). or is it also possible to register "free"?

a good book, that also shows some intro into the theory (are you interested in that too?) is from Moaveni Saeed.

I'm really still trying to get a feel GUI right now; still trying to become familiar with ANSYS as a tool before I head into any theory. A lot of this isn't as intuitive as I thought it was going to be.

Pretty much anything to get me going would be great now.
