Hello, I am working on hydroelasticity of ships. I am thinking of getting it on Ansys. Can you recommend me something like an open source training guide? Thanks in advance...
You see, modern science connects several, two at least, classical branches. To my mind, You should set a problem of classical theory of elastisity where shape of ship is flexible body loading by hidrostatic pressure distribution.
For studying hydroelasticity of ships using Ansys, you might find the following open-source resources and guides helpful:
Ansys Learning Hub (Free Resources):Ansys provides some free introductory courses and webinars on their Learning Hub. Check for free tutorials on structural and fluid interaction, which is essential for hydroelasticity.
OpenFOAM + Ansys Workbench:OpenFOAM is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool that can complement Ansys for some analyses. Tutorials for OpenFOAM combined with Ansys workflows are available online, such as through GitHub or forums.
GitHub and Online Repositories:Search GitHub repositories for "hydroelasticity" or "ship hydrodynamics" with Ansys-related projects. These often include input files, methodologies, and tips for running similar studies.
Research Papers with Supplementary Material:Many researchers publish hydroelasticity studies using Ansys with supplementary datasets or workflows. Look for papers on platforms like ResearchGate, Springer, or Google Scholar.
YouTube Tutorials:There are free YouTube channels that demonstrate workflows for setting up simulations in Ansys for marine applications (e.g., hydroelasticity and fluid-structure interaction).
University Resources:Check if universities or research labs have open-access resources. Many naval architecture or marine engineering programs share free resources, like MIT's OpenCourseWare.
