Finite Element Method - ANSYS Workbench (FSI-ZAW)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Martin Vrbka, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Aim of the course is to extend students’ knowledge in area of finite element methods (FEM), while practicing ANSYS Workbench software. Emphasis is placed on acquiring comprehensive knowledge about FEM analyses through practical exercises focused on: computational model creation; correct solver settings, solution and interpretation of the results.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will significantly extend their knowledge in the field of FEM. They will learn to work in ANSYS Workbench environment. Due to analysis of real components and structures, they will learn self-reliance in the FEM calculations.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge in area of strength of materials, CAD systems, FEM fundamentals and ANSYS Classic.
Course contents:
Solution of real engineering problems using FEM. Calculation of linear and non-linear analysis of beam structures, stress-strain analysis of machine parts, modal analysis, heat transfer. Emphasis is placed also on the analysis and interpretation of results, which is an inseparable part of FEM analyses.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through exercises, which are focused on solution of practical tasks.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Graded course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active participation in the seminars, passing the final test (5th week) based on knowledge from lectures.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at practicals is obligatory and checked by the lecturer. One excused absence can be tolerated without compensation. In case of longer absence, compensation of missed lessons depends on the instructions of course supervisor.
Type of course unit:
    Computer-assisted exercise  1 × 30 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Computer-assisted exercise 1. Strain-stress 3D analysis (bracket, spanner, spring)
2. Strain-stress 1D and 2D analysis (truss, pressure vessel, plain stress, plain strain, axisymmetry)
