ANSYS Workbench: Simulation - Rigid & Flexible Dynamics June 16, 2009

---

The ANSYS Rigid and Flexible Dynamic Analysis training course covers rigid and flexible body kinematics analysis using the Workbench-Simulation interface.
Students attending this 1-day training course 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.
The advantages of a Rigid body analysis include:

Very fast solutions
Rigid bodies are connected with joints resulting in a minimum number of dof
Very robust, no convergence issues
Graphics provide complete visualization of the part motion
Can be used interactively to test kinematics
Can include springs and dampers
The advantages of a Flexible body analysis include:

Bodies can be flexible
All nonlinearities are supported
All boundary conditions are supported
Surface to surface contact between bodies can be included
Rigid or flexible can be used on a part by part basis

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
Rigid Body Dynamic Postprocessing
Flexible Dynamic Analysis

The training course also includes "hands-on" workshops for the students to complete.
