ANSYS Mechanical APDL


The ANSYS Parametric Design Language has many finite-element analysis
capabilities, ranging from a simple, linear, static analysis to a complex,
nonlinear, transient dynamic analysis. The analysis guides in the
documentation set describe specific procedures for performing analyses for
different engineering disciplines.Finite element analysis is a method of
solving, usually approximately, certain problems in engineering and science.
It is used mainly for problems for which no exact solution, expressible in
some mathematical form, is available. As such, it is a numerical rather than
an analytical method. Methods of this type are needed because analytical
methods cannot cope with the real, complicated problems that are met
with in engineering. For example, engineering strength of materials or the
mathematical theory of elasticity can be used to calculate analytically the
stresses and strains in a bent beam, but neither will be very successful in
finding out what is happening in part of a car suspension system during
cornering. One of the first applications of FEA was, indeed, to find the
stresses and strains in engineering components under load.
