What's Under the ANSYS Blackbox?

To understand the framework of what's under the ANSYS blackbox, go through the videos in the “What’s Under the Blackbox” section of our free online course on ANSYS-based simulations. Registration is required to access this page. We'll be using this framework in this tutorial.

Check Your Understanding

One or more of the following statements is/are true. Select which statements are true.

 


Go to Step 2: Geometry

Go to all ANSYS Learning Modules

We have to determine the y-displacement of the midline at locations between the nodes using interpolation. This interpolation is given by a second-order polynomial.
