Pre-Analysis & Start-Up

Pre-Analysis

In the pre-analysis step, we review the:

• Mathematical model

• Numerical solution strategy

• Hand calculations of expected results

Governing Equations

Additional Equations

Traction at the Boundary

Boundary Conditions

Numerical Solution Strategy

Hand Calculations

Start-Up

The following video shows how to launch ANSYS Workbench and choose the appropriate analysis system (which, under the hood, sets the governing equations that one will be solving). The video also shows how to add a new material to the material list for this project. We'll later assign our material to the model in the Physics Setup step.
