Introduction Simulation
The ANSYS Workbench represents more than a general purpose engineering tool. It provides a highly integrated engineering simulation platform. Supports multiple multi-physics engineering solutions. Provides bi-directional parametric associativity with most available CAD systems. This exercise is designed to introduce you to a number of the various engineering simulation capabilities of the ANSYS Workbench
Purpose
This tutorial is incremental in nature It is designed to introduce you to: The nature and design of the ANSYS Workbench User Interface The concepts of ANSYS Workbench Projects and Applets The integrated nature of ANSYS Workbench technology The power of the ANSYS Workbench in using applied parametric modeling and simulation techniques to provide quality engineering solutions
Prerequisites Before proceeding with this tutorial it is recommended that you have previously completed Exercises 1 through 5 of the ANSYS Workbench. Completion of the prior exercises may not be a requirement if you have a current working knowledge of ANSYS Workbench modeling, parameter sharing and simulation capabilities
Reviewing Previous Exercises The following materials are intended to provide a summary of previous tutorials and exercises If you are unsure of your understanding of these materials you should take the appropriate materials before proceeding with this exercise

Examining Simulation
Select and enter the Projects Simulation Note: Our simulation includes: A plate mounted on a post. The post is mounted on a moving platform. Aircraft, ship, oil rig platform, etc. The equipment (not modeled) is mounted by four mounts on the plate. The applied (remote) loads (forces) include:
The equipment weight Force due to acceleration in X & Y

2. Select PostSupport
30
From the Environment pop-up menu or the Structural pulldown menu select Acceleration
31
Note: You know have the ability to insert tabular data for Accelerations for each of your 8 load steps
32
Note Applying accelerations For purposes of this example we will apply our accelerations based on global X, Y and Z coordinates. In more realistic examples these accelerations would be based on more realistic locations of our masses based on the centers of pitch, roll, etc. of the structure on which your model is mounted
33
For purposes of this exercise set you values for Acceleration for each load step as shown
34
Set your solution to return Equivalent Stress from the pop-up or pulldown menus
35
