Description:

This page has helpful resources for the Fall MAE 4700 Wing Project which includes a demo video with no sound, a project outline of steps in ANSYS, and an FAQ that will be updated as questions come in.

...

Please note that this video is a demonstration of me creating a simple geometry. There is no sound in the video. Creating the geometry/solution can be achieved in many different methods. This video is simply an example. 

Here is the .txt file that was used in this tutorial:

Mesh: The video below has a mesh size that is much smaller than you need. Realistically, an element size of around 1 meter is a good start and will give you a reasonable mesh to explore mesh convergence with.

Summary of Steps:

1. Static Structural

...

1. 1. Add Total Deformation
   2. Add Equivalent (von-Misses)

7. Reiteration

Reiterate with varying numbers of spars/ribs, varying locations, and different thicknesses. For varying thickness, look at setting up a parameter. This tutorial should help:
