How to Apply Torque in ANSYS

Submitted by hijazi on

  I want to do torsional analysis in ANSYS. The beam is hollow rectangular beam and the requirement is to rotate the beam in Z-direction. Can anybody guide me how to apply the torque?? I have applied the torque in the form of force but i am not satisfies with the results. Can anybody guide me how to apply torque??

Viewing the displacement on the deformed shape

Submitted by hmousad on

Hello,

I'm a new user of ABAQUS. I want to be able to view the displacements on the CAE deformed shape. Like to put the mouse arrow over a certain node and it writes the exact value of the deformations. (Like what can be done easily by the SAP program)

I just want to figure out how is that possible

 

Thank you in advance

Java for High-Performance Computational Engg. / Sciences?

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

In the past few days at iMechanica, there have been quite a few messages dealing with different aspects of programming, libraries and so on...

It would perhaps be timely, therefore, to ask:

Do you have any opinion about using Java in numerical analysis (NA) / FEM / CFD etc.---i.e., in computational engineering and sciences (CES)?

Do you have any experience or hard data concerning performance of Java vis-a-vis C++ or FORTRAN, esp. for large systems, or for high-performance applications? Any pointers?

Please leave a note... Thanks in advance...
