Finite Element Simulations Using ANSYS

ANSYS is extensively used in the design cycle by industry leaders in the U.S. and around the world and is available in computer labs in most universities. This volume focuses on the use of ANSYS in solving practical engineering problems, providing students and practicing engineers with the fundamental knowledge of numerical simulation. It treats each physical phenomenon independently in a way that enables readers to pick out single subjects or related chapters and study them as a self-contained unit. The last chapter is devoted to multi-physics analyses and problems. Additionally, the book contains a number of complete tutorials on using ANSYS for real, practical problems.
