Learning ANSYS: A Guide for Beginners

In summary, the conversation is about someone looking for resources to help them understand how to use ANSYS software for their project. The person responding suggests checking college websites and ANSYS references for project tutorials, and recommends a beginner's step-by-step book by Kent Lawrence. They also mention a link to ANSYS theory for further understanding.

There isn't much out there. You can find the odd project tutorial on different college web sites, but they don't usually stay up too long (in my experience). http://mae.uta.edu/~lawrence/ansys/ansys_examples.htm

ANSYS references:

There's a pretty good beginner's step-by-step by Kent Lawrence that is inexpensive:
