Hello everybody,

                   I am working on FE Simulation of interface cracks. To this end, I use modified VCCT, CSDEM and other such methods to determine mesh independent strain energy release rate (G) and Mode mixity (ψ). Now I have a fundamental doubt.

Hi,

Please pour in uselful tips & tricks to arrive at convergence in ANSYS workbench static structural. This for Finite Element Analysis in static structural of biomechanical components.

 

Thank You

How to extract angle of twist and shear stress due to torque in Workbench

Submitted by Echeban on

I set up this model of a shaft with to opposing torque simulating a shaft and pulley system. 

The supports and loads are shown here: Ex-3-9-LoadsAndSupports.png

Note that the origin (top left) has the rotation X constrained to eliminate rigid body motion and to set a reference of zero twist at that point. 

I requested every result that I can imagine, see the Outline here: Ex-3-9-Outline2.png

The torque is shown here: Ex-3-9-TorsionalMoment.png

Are shear-moment diagrams wrong in ANSYS Workbench 16.1 ?

Submitted by Echeban on

I think I found an ERROR in ANSYS Workbench 16.1 and I hope someone can either CONFIRM or show me what I did wrong. 

This is very important because I am teaching this material, but I do not have support from ANSYS, so I am asking for your help.

how to edit/correction mesh (in ansys workbench)?

Submitted by ali.asgari.tabari on

Hi 

i want to analysis a model in anasys workbench with modal analysis.but i Encountered to problem.Bad mesh generation (as you see in the below figure) happened that i don know how to solve it,could anyone help me ?
