Go to Step 3: Mesh
Go to all ANSYS Learning Modules
Launch Design Modeler
In order to launch the Design Modeler
2D Analysis Type
The default analysis type is 3D, so that must be changed. In order to make this change (Right Click) Geometry > Properties then change Analysis Type to 2D.
Launch Design Modeler
In order to start the Design Modeler (Double Click) Geometry. After the Design Modeler opens, select inch as the desired length unit.
Proper Orientation
The sketching will be done in the XY plane, so (Click) XY Plane, then click on the face plane button, .
