This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the analysis of beams subjected to point loads and uniformly distributed loads (UDL) using ANSYS APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language). Beams are fundamental structural elements widely used in engineering applications, and understanding their behavior under various loading conditions is essential for designing safe and efficient structures.
The course begins by introducing the basic concepts of structural analysis, including types of loads, support conditions, and beam theory. Students will learn how to model beams in ANSYS APDL, define material properties, and apply boundary conditions to represent realistic structural scenarios.
