I. INTRODUCTION TO FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION:
Most engineering problems are solved using the following four steps. They will not always be explicitly
documented but they will be considered at some point in the process. Short changing any of them is the
quickest part to failure.

1. Establish a clearly defined goal.

2. Compile and qualify the inputs.
3. Solve the problem with the most appropriate means
4. Verify & document the results.

The above 4 steps essentially forms the steps in finite element analysis. The main emphasis in this course
is to model and analysis structural components. Analysis of simple machine parts using finite element
technique is the goal of this course. Analysis of shafts, beams, plates and stresses are to be learned in this
course module.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS:
In analysis of any engineering system requires the idealization of the system in to a form that can be
solved the most important methods of analysis are.
1. Analytical method.
2. Experimental method.
3. Approximate method.

ANALYTICAL METHOD:
Analytical methods are generally adopted after making various assumptions and diluting the
complexity of problems. Hence it can be sued only for relatively simple geometrics and idealized theories.
In analytical method the most prominent method is the extract method are the mathematical method.

Exact method gives exact answers to the problem solved by them. Hence, the name exact methods.
They are used for absolutely straight forward and simple problems with clearly defined conditions.

Ex) 1. Separation of variable method.

2. Laplace transformation method.

EXPERIMENTAL METHOD:
Experimental methods/ techniques are defined as the methods of analysis where in representative or
full scale physical models are tested under simulated working conditions. Experimental methods are totally
different from analytical methods. In contest to analytical method, use of physical models is a must in
experimental models. Since experimental techniques test a particular model under its simulated working
conditions accuracy of its results is highest among all the methods of analysis. The accuracy of experimental
methods depends up on the various instruments and test rigs used to measure readings and calculate results.
Some of the most common categories of experimental methods are mentioned below.
1. strain gauge method
2. photo elasticity method
3. Holography.

The cost of carrying out experimental analysis is very high. These techniques are huge financial burden to
the firms engaged in using experimental methods.

APPROXIMATE METHODS:
These methods are also termed as numerical methods. These methods require very few restrictive
assumptions thus preserving the accuracy of the problem. Also numerical methods are far more cost
effective than experimentation. The following list gives some of the numerical methods
1. Finite difference method
2. Finite element method.
3. Boundary element method.

Besides this various computational tools based on numerical methods have been developed with
considerable reduce the time to solve any engineering problem, one method which is the most versatile of all
the numerical method, is finite element method.

FINITE ELEMENT METHOD:

Finite element method in simple term is a mathematical method to solve engineering problems. It can
be defined as follows:

FEM is a computer oriented numerical analysis technique used to find the solution of physical or
mathematical problems in nature which are subjected to external disturbance, whose behavior could be
explained by equation of calculus.

The basic procedure to carry out finite element analysis is as fallows:

1. Definition of the problem.
2. Discretizing given domain into a set of simple domains called finite elements.
3. Derivation of element of equation for elements in mesh i.e., computation of element matrix.
4. Assembly of elements equation to obtain the equations of whole problem.
5. Imposition of boundary conditions.
6. Solving the assembled equation matrix.
7. Verification of the results.

STAGES IN FINITE ELEMENTS ANALYSIS:
Finite element analysis involves three stages
-preprocessing
-processing
-post processing

Pre processing involves preparation of data, such as nodal co ordinates, connectivity, boundary
condition, etc. Processing stage involves stiffness generation, stiffness modification and solution of
equations. Post processing stage deals with the presentation of result like deformed configuration, mode
shapes, temperature and stress distribution.

II. INTRODUCTION TO ANSYS SOFTWARE

ANSYS is a high quality engineering tool used to accommodate design and analysis needs. It is one of the
most important and popular analysis tool used in the industry. Different types of analysis like;
-Structural
-Thermal
-Electromagnetic
-CFD
-Coupled field analysis etc.
Can be efficiently be carried out in the software. Ansys basically uses finite element method approach
solve a particular solution. The method of solving a problem is carried out in three stages, preprocessing,
processing, post processing.
The seven types of structural analysis available in the Ansys family of products are explained below. The
primary unknowns (nodal degrees of freedom) calculated in a structural analysis are displacements. Other
quantities such as strains, stresses & reaction forces are then derived from the nodal displacements.

STATIC ANALYSIS:
Used to determine displacements, stresses etc, under static loading conditions. Both linear &
nonlinear static analysis can be performed. Non linearity’s include plasticity, stress stiffening, large
deflection, large strain, hyper elasticity, contact surfaces & creep.

MODAL ANALYSIS:
Used to calculate the natural frequencies & mode shapes of a structures. Different mode extraction
methods are available.

HARMONIC ANALYSIS:
Used to determine the response of a structure to harmonically time-varying loads.

TRANSIENT DYNAMIC ANALYSIS:

Used to determine the response of a structure to arbitrarily time-varying loads. All non linearity’s
mentioned under static analysis above are allowed.

SPECTRUM ANALYSIS:

ME DEPT BITS, KNL.

 Brindavan Institute of Technology and Science: KURNOOL
M.Tech I – I Sem Simulation LAB
An extension of the method analysis, used to calculate stresses and strains due to a response
spectrum. (Random vibrations)

BUCKLING ANALYSIS:
Used to calculate the buckling loads & determine the buckling mode shape. Both linear (eaten value)
and non-linear buckling analysis are possible.

EXPLICIT DYNAMIC ANALYSIS:

Ansys provides an interface to the Ls-AYNA explicit finite element program & is used to calculate
fast solutions for large deformation dynamics & complex contact problems.

In addition to the above analysis types, several special-purpose features are available:
-Fracture mechanics
-Composites
-Fatigue
-P-method
-Beam analysis etc.

PROGRAMMING EXERCISES USING ANSYS PACKAGES

ANSYS is a complete, modular, self –contained finite element computer program developed by
Ansys, Inc. for personal computers and workstations. The program includes modules to solve linear and non
linear static and dynamic structural problems, in additions to problems of heat transfer, fluid mechanics,
electromagnetic, and design optimization. Modules for such special analysis as fatigue are available.
