How to Combine Shell Element and Solid Element in ANSYS

Submitted by allspot on

Hello Everybody

I'm currently working on on the tubular weld of joint modeling using ANSYS

Problems that I faced was how to combine elements of the shell (for chord and brace) with solid elements (for weld) so that stress transfer can occur between two elements

one technique that I know is using MPC

is there any among you who has a tutorial about it ..?

please help.....

Hysteretic damping in modal analysis using ANSYS

Submitted by saeed_11 on

Hello,

I want to do modal analysis of a structure with viscoelastic material. The viscoelastic
material has a complex youngs modulus E= E (1+i*g), where g is the loss factor. In ANSYS, modal analysis ignores all
nonlinearity, so how can I perform modal analysis with viscoelastic material?

OR

How can I perform modal analysis in ANSYS considering hysteretic damping (complex Young’s
modulus  E= E (1+i*g) as input).


Cheers
