INTRODUCTION

1. About this Tutorial Guide

This Tutorial Guide introduces ANSA to new users. The tutorials are described in detail so that one can perform all the tasks without any previous experience of ANSA. A short Getting Started section is included to familiarize the user with the interface.

This document can be used in combination with the ANSA v13.x User’s Guide, where detailed descriptions of all the demonstrated functionalities can be found, in order to provide more insight to the user. The document will be updated regularly to include additional examples and more advanced ANSA functionalities.

Although not all tutorials may be relevant to your applications, it is still worth studying them, as they will familiarize you with the main menus of ANSA, TOPO, MESH, DECK and MORPH.

For any queries related to this Tutorial Guide you can refer to Technical Support (e-mail: [email protected]).

2. Annotations and Symbols

Throughout this guide the following text presentation conventions are followed to distinguish the various text interpretations.

Object - Action Presentation ExampleANSA buttons, functions All capitals CUTANSA Entities First letter capital FaceANSA Windows Italics DECK Parameters windowText Window messages “Italics” “Please select PART”Files, variables, OS commands Courier New ANSA.defaultsWarning ! ! Do not cut Macros at locations …

Due to the nature of the program a lot of graphical conventions are also used. Mouse and keyboard icons, arrows, cursors etc. are widely utilized. Some examples are presented below:

Cursor position in the ANSA display window where left mouse button is pressed

Click and drag with left mouse button movement

Cursor position over menus and entry cards

Keyboard for alphanumerical input

All ANSA buttons are displayed graphically as shown:

Pressed button Not-pressed button Activated flag button Not-activated flag button

As a function is referenced in the guide its button is presented in its not pressed

state, prior to selection.

Some commands have sub-options displayed in the pull down menu that appears when the button is pressed. In the guide only the option of interest is presented for simplification.

For example if the user selects the option NORMAL from the command PROJECT which belongs to the CONS group of the TOPO > menu, the button below is presented:

In addition in the text the command path is stated:TOPO>CONS>PROJECT [NORMAL]

Many times the root path (TOPO > in this case) is omitted, as it is apparent.

Introduction

3.4. Detail on Demand effect

By default ANSA displays a model with variable detail depending on the current zoom level. This means when you view a model from far less detail is displayed (for example you cannot see the WIRE of the mesh). As you zoom in you begin to see more and more details like the mew wireframe.

The strength of this effect, called detail on demand, is controlled by the F11 key, Presentation Parameters tab

with a slide bar.

3.5. Most important key actions

The mouse buttons are mainly used to:

The left mouse button (1):- activate menu buttons- select or define entities

The middle mouse button (2):- confirm selections or processes

The right mouse button (3):- perform the opposite action of left mouse button (e.g. select/unselect or insert/delete)- reapply last action to other entities

The ESC key cancels operations, exits from functions and closes windows at any step of the process. So if in doubt, press ESC.

The Pause/Break key can be used to interrupt a function during running (for example aborts a SHADOW or Volume mesh operations during its calculation if this takes too long).

The F11 key gives access to the Presentation Parameters window, where the user can specify quality criteria definitions and threshold values, as well as other presentation attributes.

The F12 key gives access to the Database Browser, from which the user can control the visibility status of different types of FE-model entities (line elements, shells, solids etc.).
