ANSYS Mechanical is the application where we'll generate a mesh, apply the material properties and boundary conditions, and obtain a numerical solution to our boundary value problem. In order to start ANSYS Mechanical (Double Click) Model, . When Mechanical opens, make sure that the units are properly defined to be in metric. Do this by clicking on Units, in the top toolbar, and selecting Metric (m, kg, N, s, V, A). 

Create a Regular Mesh

We will create a nice, regular mesh which is done using the "mapped face meshing" option. A mapped face mesh is a mesh that can be mapped to a rectangular domain, hence the name. Our domain is already rectangular, thus mapped faced meshing will yield a rectangular grid as the mesh.
