Hi, I am recently new to Ansys using version 11 APDL.

Does anyone know of any beginners links to basic training or any decent books?

I am finding playing around and using just the help menu very difficult.

I'm mainly interested in some basic tutorials writing code to create a part and apply loads and solve to start with.

Thanks

Another great resource is in the help manual that you already have. Look at the Verification Files.
