Introduction to ANSYS - FEA using ANSYS - Lesson 1

The first in a series of video tutorials on using ANSYS to perform finite element analysis. In this introduction, we will model a fixed-fixed beam with a midspan load using Static Structural analysis. Learning objectives: 1. Define simple geometry using SpaceClaim. 2. Create a mesh with a specified element size. 3. Apply boundary conditions and loads. 4. Examine deformation and stress results.
