Finite Element Method Crash Course with ANSYS

The book "Finite Element Method Crash Course with Ansys" is written for users to learn the finite element method and to use the latest Ansys software version quickly. The book is also suitable for designers and engineers before using the software to analyze realistic problems. The book contains twelve chapters describing different analyses of engineering problems. These problems are in the fields of solid mechanics, heat transfer and fluid flows. In each chapter, the governing differential equations and the finite element method are presented. An academic example is used to demonstrate the Ansys procedure for solving it in detail. An application example is also included at the end of each chapter to highlight the software capability for analyzing realistic problems.
