Hello, I have a transient heat transfer analysis question where I heat a plate for a short duration and then evaluate thermal response. The duration of heat pulse occurs for .1 seconds at time t = 1 second and thermal response time I would like to evaluate is 1 minute. I use an Ansys APDL table...

I'm writing my master thesis and need to export forces over time in Transient analysis. I tried using the force reaction but it shows the result as zero. BTW I'm not trying to get the forces from the nodes which is supported, with these i get results. But with the nodes with no support i get...

Hi, could you help me with my parametric model please? I have a problem with the end of spring. At the end of load (displacement) is problem with solve stress because there is concentrated stress and it shouldn't be. I didn't define contact between coils yet. I need to repair this fail at...

I know the difference, but I want to know what is the latest version of apdl.

Hello all, I have been doing a number of analysis that require the use of Workbench and Spaclaim and Classic (APDL). SpaceClaim is used to bring in the geometry and defeature it and to create the proper components with elimination of contacts thru the use of the Share Topology feature. This is...

Hi, I'm analyzing a composite leaf spring using ANSYS APDL, the leaf spring has a thickness of 12mm, and since it is a composite material, it is composed of many plies, I'm assuming the ply thickness to be 0.125mm. I imported the geometry as a Parasolid x_t. And the element type I used is...

Hello I am new to Ansys and currently conducting a study on ''property of lightweight structures'' I have read and watched videos online but nobody has the tutorials...i'm hoping someone here can help me on how to model a multi-storey building using Ansys...I hope this post makes sense. Thanks

Hi, I'm just start using APDL but i have been stuck trying to make an analysis with two diferent sections, i'd like to make a frame with two column and a beam but i don't know how, thank you.

Hello everyone! I’m using APDL to simulate the behavior of a specimen in tension with a sandwich structure made of honeycomb and glass fiber. It was modeled in CATIA V5 and exported to APDL in a parasolid file. Only a half of the structure has been modeled because of symmetry condition. NOTE...

I modeled honeycomb core and face sheet seperately now i want to add or glue them to make a sandwich but it shows error so how can i join them.anyone please

Hi, I am recently new to Ansys version 14 APDL. Does anyone can help me in modeling masonry building using APDL. I have read many kind of tutorials but still it is very difficult to understand.I hope that someone can help me and teach me how because this is for my thesis where the due date is...

Hi all, I am attempting to model an artery under internal pressure in ANSYS APDL.. This is my current attempt.. 1. select solid 8 node 183 element type (and specify thickness) 2. select 5 parameter Mooney-Rivlin (for which I have constants) 3. create quarter area model dimensions 4. map mesh...

ANSYS can be used to model creep in a number of different ways. If you are designing to ASME Section VIII, Div., 2 you might have to verify that your design meets the "shake down to elastic action" criteria. Basically, that means that the strains do not continue to increase over the number of...

All, I recently completed a project where transient thermal boundary conditions are rotated around a cylinder for a general number of revolutions. In reality, the cylinder rotated but it was much easier to rotate the thermal conditions around the model in the ANSYS environment. I used 360...

hi every body I want to analysis a beam with one degree freedom on apdl (ansys software) This software give me a different period! for beam with mass=stiffness=1 we must have 2π value for period but this program give me another answer.

Hello, Greetings! How do I get the convective surface matrix from ANSYS for 3D thermal problem. Consider a volume, where some of its surfaces are subjected to convective boundary conditions. What is the way to get those (only convective surface) matrices generated by ANSYS. Any help in...

hello everybody. i have a quick question. i am going to make a shape memory alloy model in ansys workbench 12.0 . as workbench does not have the SMA model, i have to make material properties in mechanical APDL and then make an input file. but i don't know how to define properties and make the...

i am new to the APDL in ansys and i need some basic books or sites to learn APDL

I feel like this should be a fairly easy problem to solve in ANSYS but can't work it out. My actual problem is a bit more complex that what I've written below, but the solution method should be the same. A hollow cylinder is pressurised from the inside, the cylinder inflates. What is the...
