Thank you, I will look into buying this book Cheers hmk999

Hi, I am recently new to Ansys using version 11 APDL. Does anyone know of any beginners links to basic training or any decent books? I am finding playing around and using just the help menu very difficult. I'm mainly interested in some basic tutorials writing code to create a part and...

I want to learn how to solve it by hand but not sure where to start? Is there any help or guidance you can give me. Even giving me the solution to one of the unknowns would help me to understand.

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=22F7BBABD7DEE83B!139&authkey=!AJNBw1fOd97ihTk Can anyone please help me work out how to find these unknowns? Basically I'm doing some beam analysis, I've done the engineering bit, now its the maths I've come stuck with. I have created six equation...

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=3B1281F72DB8729B!117&authkey=!AFfQ3vG7MAQH8X8 Hi, if you view the above link, I have created a diagram of half the beam as the beam is symmetrical, to the left of the diagram you will see the centreline and I have also placed a bending moment on the...

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=22F7BBABD7DEE83B!138&authkey=!AEL3SAU9F1BCW-Y See attached link with updated calculations Hi can you give me a little more advice on this. Looking at the information I now have for the C section beam. I am trying to understand where the maximum...

I understand your explanation My calculation below shows the inertia calculated about the vertical axis, is this correct? Item Area x-bar A*X A*Xsq Ixx part A 1500 75 112500 8437500 2812500 part B 2920 5...

Hi, can you explain how you calculated the I values? Part A = 12500 Part B = 20747573 Part C = 8333 Cant see how there calculated. Secondly, in part of the calculation INA = ΣI0 + ΣA*y2 - A*y2 INA = 186116027 - 109396827 INA = 76719200 mm4 I get 5420*142.07squared = 109396656 not...

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. I was unsure where to start about the vertical axis. Could you please attach with the vertical answer as well? I can then try and break it down to understand for future moment of inertia calculations I have to do. Thanks again hmk999

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=22F7BBABD7DEE83B!136&authkey=!AP6uQQ9mR04UuAE Can anyone please help. I have calculated the area and Neutral Axis about xx and yy of a C section beam which I know is correct (see above link) I'm have difficultly calculating the 2nd moment of area...
