ANSYS APDL 18.2 - Symmetric Stiffened Plate

In summary, the person is asking for help with replicating a tutorial on ANSYS related to semi-monocoque shell problem specification. They mention using the SHELL281 element and are experiencing some differences in their results compared to the tutorial, possibly due to using a different element. They are seeking advice on how to address this issue.

What aspect of the example are you not able to replicate? Is it a stress mismatch, deformation, etc? I notice the element called out in the tutorial is SHELL93 but you're using SHELL281; is it possible the difference is due to the element selection?
 

1. What is ANSYS APDL 18.2?

ANSYS APDL 18.2 is a finite element analysis software used for structural analysis and design. It allows users to simulate and analyze the behavior of structures under various loading conditions.

2. What is a symmetric stiffened plate?

A symmetric stiffened plate is a type of structural element commonly used in shipbuilding, aerospace, and other industries. It consists of a thin plate with reinforcing stiffeners attached to it on both sides to increase its strength and stiffness.

3. What are the benefits of using ANSYS APDL 18.2 for analyzing symmetric stiffened plates?

ANSYS APDL 18.2 offers advanced analysis capabilities such as linear and nonlinear structural mechanics, dynamic analysis, and thermal analysis. It can accurately simulate the behavior of symmetric stiffened plates and provide valuable insights for optimization and design improvement.

4. How does ANSYS APDL 18.2 handle complex geometries in symmetric stiffened plate analysis?

ANSYS APDL 18.2 has a robust meshing capability that can handle complex geometries with ease. It also offers various element types and mesh controls to ensure accurate representation of the stiffeners and plate in the analysis.

5. Can ANSYS APDL 18.2 be used for design optimization of symmetric stiffened plates?

Yes, ANSYS APDL 18.2 has optimization tools that allow users to perform design studies and find the optimal dimensions and configurations of symmetric stiffened plates. This can help reduce weight, improve structural performance, and save costs in the design process.
