How to start an analysis in Ansys using GUI :

1.Preference: just select the type of analysis u want to do like structural,thermal,magnetic-nodal,magnetic-edge,electrical etc

2.Geometry design: Draw key points,areas,volume,lines .for how to draw these u must go through help file as there are many methods for them.i generally prefer key point method .first i draw the key points at the required coordinates and then use them to draw line,areas,volume etc.

3.Material defined: Main menu>preprocessor>material props>material models
there define different materials and must copy down its no on paper so that u can directly assign this to ur model components.

4.Element type:Its one of the important part.please go through help file as it cannot be explained here.It decide the the type of analysis and accuracy.for electromagnetic we have two option which is mostly used one is plane 13(vect quad 4 node 13) and plane 53(vect quad 8 node 53) .
For small model we use plane 13 and for large model and great accuracy.

Meshing part will be discussed later on
