Tutorial Videos and Finished Project Files
1. To reduce file sizes, the project files were compressed in ZIP format. Decompress a file before it is opened with ANSYS Workbench.
2. The project files are to be used with ANSYS2020 (or later); they are not to be used with ANSYS2019 or earlier versions.
3. It is suggested that, whenever a project file is needed to start up an exercise, you use a project file provided here, rather than your own finished project file, so that your numerical results would be more consistent with those in the textbook.
