Ansys Definition and 306 Threads

Hello, Suppose I want to glue a flat piece of sheet metal onto the outside of a rigid cylinder, and then find out the pressure that the glue is exerting onto the surface of the sheet metal. Assume that the deformation is elastic. Or suppose that in a variation of this problem, the sheet metal...

Hello everybody, Three conductors are being simulated in Maxwell with a peak current. From Maxwell I extract the impedance matrix (3x3 matrix) of the three conductors. Conductors are placed on top of each other so there will be mutual inductances and resistances. The documentation on the...

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.

Hi, How do you define number of turns in a coil designed to operate at 100 kHz? Maxwell 2D axisymmetric treats the coils as a single conductor, how can we define number of turns. I would appreciate any response. Thanks

Hi everyone! I am doing a simulation of threaded connection in ANSYS workbench and have some problem. In this 2D model, the initial make-up is modeled by setting an "initial overlap" (shown in figure 1). This is how I did: - The initial contact between pin and box as "frictional" with...

Dear all, is there anybody knows how to set a 2 degree-of-freedom movement in ANSYS Maxwell 2D transient model? I have two fixed current-excited coils and a free magnet. The magnet should be able to move in a 2D space under the Lorentz forces. However, there are only translation and rotation...

Hi, I am writing to you to ask for help. I have a problem with the contact "Frictional". I'll show you screenshots of my settings and program the console errors. Everything will be shown in the screenshots. The problem is that between the beams and the top element and the bottom element is...

Hi,I wanted to know what is the difference between ANSYS Fluent/ANSYS and CATIA. And what purpose do both of these applications serve? Furthermore, does Solidworks compete with CATIA? (If so, then i can focus on learning only one of them instead of two).I am just confused if i should learn ANSYS...

Hi, guys there is a quesetion: Could ANSYS software be used for simulate system temperature and flow fields when fluid phrase change, such as in steam generators.

How to create a script geometry. Is it possible? some type? I need to create a script to pipe conveyor. After entering the input data is created geometry. pls help me

Cfd -- familiar with ANSYS Fluent or CFX? Is anyone here familiar with ANSYS Fluent or CFX? I have some questions about creating a simulation of subsonic flow over an airfoil. I have done the Cornell University tutorial. I then moved on to try simulating different arifoils, in particular S809...

Hello every body, I am simulating a 1 dof spring-mass model in ansys workbench. I need to change the stiffness of spring at every substep based on an "if condition". It means that, in every substep, if a specified condition is satisfied, the stiffness will be changed to a defined value. Also...

Hello everyone, First of all, I want to excuse for my not perfect English since it isn't my mother tongue. However, now to my problem, which I'm facing at the moment. As part of my master thesis I have to simulate the application of a fastening device, which I develope during my master...

I'm currently writing my thesis on a "Finite Element Analysis of rail fastening systems under dynamic load", and I'm using ANSYS Workbench 14.0 for that matter. I don't know how to define the contact area for the clip and the angle guide plate, since it will be changing over time as the clip...

I have been easing my way into ANSYS and doing some modal analyses. The component I am modeling is a body of revolution with N=15 slots in it. The cross section looks much like the one in post #1 of this thread. I started out by modeling the full 360° ring and requested the first 6 Modes...

Hi, I am trying to model a simple plane stress problem using Ansys. I am using Ansys 14.0. The problem is a simple square plate, without a corner, and with a hexagon hole around the midle. The boundary conditions consist of a constant pressure on the top side, and full constrain on the...

I have an assembly of two 2D surfaces. I modeled it on SolidWorks however, I could not import it to Ansys in any format. I tried SLDASM, Step and IGES. I tried modelling the same on Workbench modeller. However, I could not figure out a way to model 2D assemblies on the modeller. Can someone...

Hi all, I have started learning ansys workbench for steady state heat transfer based analysis. I am doing this analysis to validate analytical results given for heat transfer from a single plate fin. The fin tip is given a base temperature and heat transfer is calculated for natural...

Hello all! I am curious. Sometimes I would like to do a trade study on a mechanical component; so in the interest of time, I think I would use 2D analysis techniques so that a) I can save time on the front end in the CAD package and b) save time on the analysis side of things. But I want...

I was told in a meeting, in passing, not to pay any attention to the deflection results that come out of a free vibration problem. Can someone clarify why or point me to a good resource where I can inform myself? Thanks, KC

hi everybody. i just wonder. can we add new material library in ansys maxwell 3d(v.16) manually. especially magnets?

Hi All, If anyone could help me with a problem I'm having, it would be great. I've been using Ansys Maxwell for about 6 months now, and I've gotten the hang of it. I mainly simulate 2 phase inductors. Until yesterday, I've had no problem, but for some reason, I'm not getting any...

I have a project where I need to simulate the magnetic forces with ANSYS. I'm and intermediate ANSYS user but I have really only worked with APDL, and if possible I would like to do it in the GUI. So my problem is that I have only ever done structural and thermal models in ANSYS. I am...
