• ANSYS, INC.

IS AN AMERICAN COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING SOFTWARE

DEVELOPER HEADQUARTERED SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH IN CECIL TOWNSHIP,
PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES. ANSYS PUBLISHES ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
SOFTWARE ACROSS A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES INCLUDING FINITE ELEMENT
ANALYSIS, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS, EXPLICIT
AND IMPLICIT METHODS, AND HEAT TRANSFER.

• ANSYS mechanical is a finite element analysis tool for structural analysis, including linear,
nonlinear and dynamic studies. This computer simulation product provides finite elements to
model behaviour, and supports material models and equation solvers for a wide range of
mechanical design problems.
• The program 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.
• The process for a typical analysis involves three general tasks:
• 1. BUILDING THE MODEL
• 2. APPLYING LOADS AND OBTAINING THE SOLUTION
• 3. REVIEWING THE RESULTS
