Ansys Mechanical Advanced Connections | Training Course

Training at Locations that Suit You

We can run our training courses at one of our classroom centres, onsite at your premises or online through virtual tuition.

Please contact us to discuss which option best suits your requirements.

This course will enable you to achieve and understand simulation analysis with contact, giving you knowledge for preprocessing full solution and post-processing.

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the underlying technology and control the solution algorithms used to implement surface-to-surface contact in Ansys Mechanical.
• Demonstrate a general understanding of several specialized contact applications, including bolt pretension, gaskets, surface wear, and others.
• Recognize and correct the most common causes of non-convergence in contact solutions.
• Appreciate the importance of model validation and several techniques that may be used to achieve it.
