ANSYS-Workbench Training
Course Duration: (40 Hours)
Course Description:
ANSYS, a product of ANSYS Inc., is a world-leading, widely distributed, and popular commercial CAE package. It is widely used by designers/analysts in industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, nuclear, electronics, biomedical, and many more. ANSYS provides simulation solutions that enable designers to simulate design performance directly on the desktop. This course divided into three different modules.
