Pre-Analysis & Start-Up

Open ANSYS Workbench

Open ANSYS Workbench by going to Start > All Programs > ANSYS 14.0 > Workbench 14.0. This will open the start up screen as seen below:

...

Name the project: Modal Analysis of a Composite Monocoque.

Import Geometry

To Import Geometry, go to File->Import... A dialog box will open as shown below:

...

To view the .igs files, go to the pull down menu to the left of the File name text box and change it to Geometry File(...). Go to the location where you saved the monocoque.igs and click Open. Your workbench should look this:

Build the Geometry

This particular geometry have contains solids, surfaces and line bodies. In default setting, Ansys do not build the line bodies, but we can change that with following steps:

...

This will make sure line bodies will be built along with the surface and solids.

Go to Step 2 - : Geometry
