ANSYS Rigid and Flexible Dynamic Analysis (1 Day)
This course covers rigid and flexible body kinematics analysis using the Workbench-Simulation interface. Students will learn how to perform a Rigid body analysis that assumes rigid links between joints of a multi-bodied structure and calculates motion only at those joints. In addition, students will learn how to perform a Flexible body analysis that is similar to a Rigid body analysis except that it includes not just the joint motion but also considers the stiffness, mass, and damping effects of the flexible links.
Course Topics:
  • Introduction to ANSYS Rigid and Flexible Dynamic Analysis
  • Rigid Body Dynamic Setup
  • Joints and Springs
  • Rigid Body Dynamic Solution Setup and Joint Conditions
