Offshore Materials and Corrosion Engineering

Course Overview

ANSYS is a general-purpose finite element modeling package for numerically solving a wide variety of mechanical problems. ANSYS is a sophisticated and comprehensive finite element program that has capabilities in many different physics fields such as static structural, nonlinear, thermal, implicit and explicit dynamics, fluid flow, electromagnetics, and electric field analysis. It can also perform coupled field analysis combining one or more of these different physics.

ANSYS offers a comprehensive software suite that spans the entire range of physics, providing access to virtually any field of engineering simulation that a design process requires.
