    ANSYS APDL Inflated Balloon Volume

    Actually that does not work as ETABLE (which I was using to collect the volume information) reports the undeformed volume, not the final volume. Is there a command that reports the deformed volume?

    ANSYS APDL Inflated Balloon Volume

    OK, I have created a solution to this, but it is slightly inaccurate. I meshed the volume of interest and set the material of that volume as very low stiffness. Then I ran the model and used SSUM and *GET to output the volume of the deformed solid. ANSYS has a minimum limit on the stiffness of...

    ANSYS APDL Inflated Balloon Volume

    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...
