Modeling Composites in Explicit dynamics. [Ansys]

AI Thread Summary
Modeling composites in Ansys for explicit dynamics can be challenging, especially when dealing with multilayer structures. Users suggest modeling the composite in Ansys Classic, meshing it, and then creating a macro file to import into Workbench for mesh definition. There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of this method, and guidance on executing it is limited. Many users have found YouTube examples helpful, but practical application remains unclear. Seeking advice from experienced users is essential for successfully modeling composites in this context.

Hello,
I am trying to model an explicit dynamics model in Ansys, to study impact of different objects. I cannot figure out how to model a composite with several layers in workbench.

I have been trying to achieve this for over a week now. I was told that I can model the composite in Ansys Classic, mesh it, and then write a macro file. then use the macro file in Workbench to define the mesh. I have no idea if this will work, or how to even do it.

I have seen several examples on youtube of composites, but not sure how to model one?

Thanks in advance,

Any idea? thx
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
