Using Adaptive Convergence in Ansys Mechanical — Lesson 5

Ansys Mechanical can solve a variety of complex real-world mechanical problems. But how do you know about the accuracy of the solution? Is there a rule to decide the level of accuracy of the solution? In this video, we will answer these questions using Adaptive Convergence. It helps you get mesh-independent solutions such that the results don’t change noticeably with further mesh refinement. This can help you to define better mesh controls for future models to ensure numerical accuracy. // INTERESTED IN MORE?
