FEA 104 - Ansys Mechanical Additive Manufacturing Introduction Training
Beginner Level Training - 2 days (16 hours)
About Ansys Mechanical Additive Manufacturing Introduction Training by CADIT
Learn simulation-driven metal additive manufacturing in Ansys Workbench, covering Powder Bed Fusion and Directed Energy Deposition, with geometry setup, meshing, and residual stress and distortion prediction for “first time right” builds.
Perfect for Engineers and manufacturing professionals adopting metal additive manufacturing.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
1. Understand key physics and process steps in metal additive manufacturing as simulated within Ansys Workbench.
2. Set up and run additive simulations using wizard-based tools for calibration, material assignment, and build process definition.
3. Analyze simulation results to predict distortion, residual stresses, and optimize build success and part performance.
