MET 425 - FEA with ANSYS

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

This course complements MET 424 (Introduction to the Finite Element Method). In MET 424 the basic finite element algorithms for elastic members, pin-jointed and rigid jointed frames, bending of beams, torsional members and grid structures were developed. Also developed were the finite element algorithms or conduction heat transfer with convective boundary conditions. Hand and spreadsheet calculations for simple systems were performed. In MET 425 the student will learn how to use commercial finite element software to perform analysis of much larger systems. Additionally the methodology for performing stress calculations for plates and shells is presented and applied. Course Objectives (1) Use ANSYS-FEA to determine levels of stress and displacement in components that are subject to axial loading. (2) Use ANSYS-FEA to determine levels of stress and displacement in components that are subject to torsion (3) Use ANSYS-FEA to determine levels of stress and displacement in components that are subject to bending (4) Use ANSYS-FEA to determine temperature distribution in components that are subject to heat flux, fixed temperature and convective boundary conditions, with and without internal heat generation.
