Synopsis
This user-friendly book provides the reader with a theoretical and practical knowledge of the finite element method (FEM) and with the skills required to analyze engineering problems with ANSYS. A self-contained, introductory text, it minimizes the need for additional reference material, covering the fundamental topics in FEM as well as advanced topics concerning modeling and analysis with ANSYS. Extensive examples from various engineering disciplines are presented in a step-by-step fashion, focusing on the use of ANSYS through both the Graphics User Interface (GUI) and the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL). Additional materials for this book, including the "input" files for the example problems, as well as the colored figures and screen shots, allowing them to be regenerated on the reader’s own computer, may be downloaded from

From the Back Cover
The Finite Element Method and Applications with ANSYSŪ provides the reader with theoretical and practical knowledge of the finite element method and with the skills required to analyze engineering problems with ANSYSŪ, a commercially available FEA program. This self-contained, introductory text minimizes the need for additional reference material, covering the fundamental topics in finite element methods, as well as advanced topics concerning modeling and analysis with ANSYSŪ. These subjects are introduced through extensive examples from various engineering disciplines and are presented in a clear, step-by-step fashion. The book focuses on the use of ANSYSŪ through both the Graphics User Interface (GUI) and the ANSYSŪ Parametric Design Language (APDL).
This volume addresses these specific areas:
An introduction to FEM
Fundamentals and analysis capabilities of ANSYSŪ, with practical modeling considerations
Fundamentals of discretization and approximation functions
Modeling techniques and details of mesh generation in ANSYSŪ
Creating solutions and reviewing results
Finite element equations based on the method of weighted residuals and on the principle of minimum potential energy
The use of commands and APDL and the development of macro files
Example problems and solutions corresponding to linear structural analysis
Example problems and solutions related to heat transfer and moisture diffusion
Nonlinear structural problems
Advanced subjects such as submodeling, substructuring, interaction with external files, and modification of ANSYSŪ-GUI
Additional materials for this book, including the "input" files for the example problems, as well as the colored figures and screen shots, allowing them to be regenerated on the reader’s own computer, may be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com.
Students, researchers, and practicing engineers will find this an essential reference for use in predicting and simulating the physical behavior of complex engineering systems using ANSYSŪ.
