MCE 202 ANSYS Design Modeler Geometry Creation Notes

Description

This document serves as a comprehensive guide to geometry creation and modification using ANSYS Design Modeler within the ANSYS Workbench environment. It details methods for accessing Design Modeler through various Workbench components and importing existing CAD files. The guide explains the Design Modeler interface, including toolbars, the tree outline, and sketching/modeling modes. It provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating a rectangular solid, covering sketching, dimensioning, and generating line, surface, and solid bodies via extrusion. Additionally, it outlines the process for creating primitive 3D shapes like spheres directly. This resource supports fundamental skills for conducting Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations.
