Finite Element Modeling and Simulation with ANSYS Workbench

Reviews / Votes

"This book covers a wide range of engineering analyses using FEM with adequate theoretical background, illustrative examples, and detailed tutorials on using ANSYS Workbench for FEA. ... It covers both the theoretical and practical parts of FEM, which is very helpful to engineering students."

"The book is an excellent resource to introduce undergraduate and graduate engineering students to Finite Element Analysis. A great deal of emphasis is made on the finite element methods through simple application examples. ...The main thing that I like about this book is that the author has presented the material using ANSYS Workbench. For undergraduate students who are considered beginners with FE, this is the ideal software to use. The examples are simple and clear and the ANSYS Workbench Case Studies are good applications of the techniques."

"This book should be a great resource for engineers or senior undergraduate students who want to learn FEA and use ANSYS themselves, and therefore can be adopted as a textbook for senior undergraduate students in engineering when introducing FEA."

"This is the textbook I have long been looking for in my teaching of finite element analysis to undergraduate students. Teaching an undergraduate level finite element course is challenging due to the amount of mathematics and physics involved as well as the FEM's vast applications in engineering, design and optimization. Very often, students are overwhelmed or discouraged by the theoretical and mathematical content of the course and, therefore, have difficulty or reluctance in utilizing the method in their engineering analysis and design. The balance of the FEM's theoretical foundation and its application in engineering practice is achieved in an elegant way in this book."

"Even though there are plenty of FEA books published, this one is really the textbook you need for the first FEA courses offered at 4-year universities. The theory and methodology parts are excellent, and the "Case Studies with ANSYS Workbench" sections at the end of every chapter are outstanding. With those case studies, the study of this course will become a joy instead of hard work."
