Fatigue analysis in ANSYS claasic environment !!

Submitted by bhamarsd on

Hello ANSYS  users,

 

I am having hard time ANSYS's documentation for fatigue analysis in claasic environment. Tutorials available on internet talk bat ansys workbench only. Has anyone done fatigue analysis in ANSYS claasic? If yes, is there any source for tutorials ?

 

Thanks,

Tsai-Wu Fc with Ansys

Good evening,

in the order to perfom a calculation of Tsai-Wu Fc in Ansys there are two fundamentally different methods:

1. with the help of nodal stresses.

2. or with the stresses from the element table.

I want to know what is the difference, and which method, according to your experience is the best.

Thank you very much!

Nonlinear Buckling of Cylindrical Tubes w/ ANSYS

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a nonlinear (elastic for now) buckling analysis in ANSYS. Basically I have a thin cylindrical shell (made up of SHELL181). fixed at one end (rigid) and applied force and/or displacement specified on the other end to make it buckle.

I have pretty much tried all options. These were:

i) Linear buckling (Eigenbuckling)

ii) Displacement controlled buckling with a lateral point force to provide eccentricity/imperfection.

iii)Force controlled buckling with, again, a lateral point force (arc-length method)

Progressive Failure Model

Submitted by Hallgeirda on

Hi

Am currently running Ansys analysis using shell181, and Tsai-Wu FC, have some good working first ply failure models

Trying to convert this into a progressive failure model, with no luck so far.

Anyone know something about this, how it could be done?

I suspect by looping, and fortran code, but I do not really have a clue..

3D crack modeling using CTMOPT macro in ANSYS

Submitted by Ashish Joshi on

Hello everyone,

I need to create a semi-elliptical surface crack in a cylinder using ANSYS. CTMOPT macro allows modeling and meshing of this type of crack, but I am struggling to get this. If anyone knows detailed information regarding this, kindly let me know.

 

Thanking you,

Ashish Joshi
