Features
Provides comprehensive -- but not overwhelming -- coverage of finite element theory
Helps readers learn how to use ANSYS quickly and effectively
Shows how to use ANSYS step by step to model a physical problem
Integrates ANSYS throughout
Each chapter
First discusses the relevant basic theory and then demonstrates it using simple problems with hand-calculations
Follows with examples that are solved using ANSYS
Presents all exercises in the same manner
Some exercises require manual calculations, while others, more complex in nature, require the use of ANSYS
Discusses various sources of error that can contribute to wrong results
Emphasizes how to manually verify Finite Element Analysis (FEA) findings
Devotes a section of approaches for verifying ANSYS results at the end of selected chapters
Features a number of open-ended design problems at the end of Chapters. 7, 8, and 10
Devotes the concluding chapter to design optimization and parametric programming with ANSYS
Offers a brief review of fundamental principles in solid mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics
Appendices give mechanical and thermophysical properties of some common materials used in engineering
Provides a list of objectives and a summary for each chapter
