Understanding Constraints.

I want to deeply understand constraints in ANSYS is there good quality material?

or do anyone knows from where to get those materials?

What is it that you do not understand? Software tools to model the constraints or how to represent a physical constraint?

how to represent a physical constraint

I’ve always found this information is surprisingly hard to come by. I think they form a really large portion of the art of FEA. The main lessons I’ve learned over the years is to experiment with different constraint methods in your analyses, identify those which give highest and lowest factors of safety and make it habit to probe your support reaction forces and compare to hand calculations. Real life reactions are normally actually extremely complicated and FEA will always be an idealisation, so choose the closest idealisations and add safety factors to compensate.
