Tutorial - 2D Truss analysis in Mechanical APDL (ANSYS) Part 2?
Sudhir Gill

Design & CAD

Beginner
In general, a finite element solution may be broken into the following three stages. 1. Preprocessing: defining the problem; - Define keypoints/lines/areas/volumes - Define element type and material/geometric properties - Mesh lines/areas/volumes as required 2. Solution: assigning loads, constraints and solving; 3. Postprocessing: - Lists of nodal displacements - Element forces and moments - Deflection plots - Stress contour diagrams In this tutorial we will go through second and third step.

CATIA V5 - Increase your productivity with Automatic Dimensional Constraints

Beginner
Dimensional constraints are a powerful tool in CATIA V5 that can help you to improve the accuracy and consistency of your designs. By automatically applying dimensional constraints to your sketches and features, you can ensure that your designs meet the required specifications and that dimensions update correctly as your design changes. This can save you a lot of time and effort, especially when working on complex designs.
