Shell-to-Solid submodeling in ANSYS (APDL)

Submitted by Reza Afshar on
Dear All

I have a question regarding Shell-to-Solid submodeling in ANSYS (APDL). I have followed the ANSYS help, but even for the same geometry used by ANYS, the stress values on the submodel are very high and at the wrong position.

I was wondering if any one has a tutorial on Shell-to-Solid submodeling in ANSYS (APDL) or any hints regading this type of submodeling?

Thank you in advance

Modal analysis of automotive body

Submitted by Reza Afshar on

Hi everybody! I have a problem in applying boundry conditions on Automotive body (Body In White) to get the first bending and torsional natural frequencies.

 

As the following, are my questions:



1-What are the boundry conditions to get the first bending and torsional natural frequencies?



2-What method in ANSYS is better to get these frequencies?(i mean reduced or subspae method?)





I wish if someone can help me with or any tips to conduct this analysis.



Thanks for your help and time.
