Meshing a block with spherical void inside in Ansys

Submitted by sidd04mech on

I have a squre block and inside it there is an sphere. I want to mesh
the whole assembly. I can mesh the sphere but when i try to mesh the
squre block with the spherical hole it cant mesh and says "it cant
select the source and target face". I also tried to devide it into 8
parts. That helped me to mesh the sphere but i cant mesh the squre with
spherical hole with that too. So please anyone can help me out.

Geometry&FEM connection in Mechanical APDL (ANSYS)

Hello everbody,



I'm mechanical engineer and working as FEA Engineer in GATES. I have
been using ANSYS for 5 years and I want to ask a question about new
version of ANSYS.



I use ANSYS Mechanical 12.1. I connect "geometry" and "setup" to
Mechanical APDL box in "project schematic". Then when I open Mec. APDL, I
can see the cad model (areas, lines, volumes) and FEM (nodes, elements)
but they aren't connected to each other. is there any way to connect
solid model to finite element model?





Best Regards.

generalized plane strain, ansys

Submitted by agg E.kalimeris on

 Hi

I am doing a simulation using Ansys . I use finite element plane 183 with the generalized plane strain option. The problem is that i am doing something wrong and this option dosn't work .Does anybody knows where i can find an example using generalized plane strain option .I have read the mannual and the example 38 in verification mannual but it did not helped  

Reinforced Concrete in ANSYS

Submitted by Jeffrey W. Kemper on

I am conducting a senior design project in ANSYS.  I am modeling a folded reinforced concrete plate and have never used ansys before.  Does anyone have any tutorials that involve non-linear analysis?  I am trying to get a force vs. deflection curve and I am having troubles.

 Thanks

Applying heat flux for a specific amount of time using ANSYS

Submitted by daltoy3 on

Hi everyone,

how can I apply a 'X' amount of heat flus for a specific amount of time? It'll be helpful to include the steps especially for the part on specifying the amount of injection time (say 3 micro seconds)

 

Thanks!!

Simulate moving laser beam on a plate in ANSYS

Submitted by daltoy3 on

Hi everyone!

I've been trying ansys for a few weeks but in vain. I'm trying to inject a heat source(laser) on a 2D rect plate. I'm not sure on the corrct way to add the boundary conditions. This is what I do:

1. assuming room temp so i added 298K to the bottom, left and right using define loads >add_temp>lines

2.next i inject a heat source say 1000K using define loads>add_temp_on nodes to a few surface center nodes (meaning the top surface still have undefine boundary conditions)  

How to used elements in ANSYS Classic

Submitted by ingcartun on

Hello to everybody,

 Can somebody help me with advice in the next problem : I want to study an dynamic movement of some beams, with rigid body option from ANSYS Classic. I encountered the problem when I want to choose the element type for cilynder. I choose LINK11. But I need to simulate what is happend between the moment when is applied the force on cilynder and imposed lenght of ciclynder after pool.

How I can settup the properties of element LINK11 to satisfy my results.
