ANSYS Practice Exam

ANSYS is a engineering simulation software which is used to perform advanced product simulations like FEA (finite element analysis), CFD (computational fluid dynamics), structural analysis, and many others. The software helps designers and engineers to model as well as analyze systems and components for performance and reliability at product design phase to optimization phase. ANSYS simulations are used for simulating mechanical, thermal, electrical, and fluid dynamics, across the industries.
