Executive Program Overview

Standard civil analysis programs assume linear elasticity. ANSYS Civil allows structural and geotechnical engineers to evaluate non-linear material plasticity, concrete crushing/cracking under blast loads, and soil-pore pressure in mega-infrastructure.

Key Learning Outcomes

• Solid65 concrete element modeling with smeared reinforcement and crack propagation.
• Geotechnical Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager soil plasticity models.
• Seismic time-history analysis of intake towers, arch dams, and deep foundation piles.
• Coupled thermal-stress analysis during mass concrete hydration curing.
