"If you want to quickly learn to solve problems using ANSYS software, this book is a great way to develop the necessary skills to set up problems and become familiar with the software. If your problem happens to be the same or very similar to a problem presented in the book, then this book would be the perfect way to get started quickly." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

Engineering Analysis with ANSYS Software, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to fundamental areas of engineering analysis needed for research or commercial engineering projects. The book introduces the principles of the finite element method, presents an overview of ANSYS technologies, then covers key application areas in detail. This new edition updates the latest version of ANSYS, describes how to use FLUENT for CFD FEA, and includes more worked examples. With detailed step-by-step explanations and sample problems, this book develops the reader’s understanding of FEA and their ability to use ANSYS software tools to solve a range of analysis problems.
