Learning ANSYS can be challenging for beginners due to a lack of comprehensive resources. While some project tutorials are available on college websites, they often have limited availability. A recommended beginner's guide by Kent Lawrence is noted for its affordability and effectiveness.

Overall, finding consistent and reliable learning materials for ANSYS remains a struggle for newcomers.
