Finite element program packages ANSYS. NASTRAN ADINA LS-DYNA. MARC SAP COSMOS ABAQUS NISA. COMSOL ALGOR CATIA ETC. The ANSYS program is a computer program for the finite element analysis and design. The ANSYS program is a generalpurpose program, meaning that you can use it for almost any type of finite element analysis in virtually and industry automobiles, aerospace, railways, machinery, electronics, sporting goods, power generation, power transmission and biomechanics, to mention just a few. The ANSYS program is also used as an educational tool at universities. ANSYS software is available on many types of computers including PC and workstations. Several operating systems are supported. The procedure for a typical ANSYS analysis can be divided into three distinct steps: build the model, apply loads and obtain the solution, review the results.

The ANSYS element library contains over 80 different element types. Each element type is identified by unique number and prefix that identifies the element category: BEAM4, SOLID96, PIPE16, etc. The following categories are available: BEAM, COMBINation, CONTACT, FLUID, HYPERelastic, INFINite, LINK, MASS, MATRIX, PIPE, PLANE, SHELL, SOLID, SOURCe, SURFace, USER, and VISCOelastic (or viscoplastic).

Modelamiento Consiste en la confeccionaron diferentes modelos, los cuales tienen como fin analizar tanto el comportamiento del sistema frente a diferentes solicitaciones, como tambin verificar la capacidad del programa computacional de reproducir ciertos patrones buscados. Para modelar, se describe las consideraciones a tomar y las condiciones de borde de los diferentes modelos.
