ANSYS scripting in Workbench... I am not sure whether I am using perfect terminology or not, I want to create a program using ansys workbench such that I will give input/parameters to the program, what all operations/analyses has to be done will be specified in program and will finally obtain...

I have modeled a curved surface to which I need to applied forces defined in a Excel csv sheet. I have successfully created an external data box in the project schematic and tried to import the load into mechanical. The load file I have resembles: X Y Load 0.3...

Hi, i am currently doing a simulation of rotating propeller using ANSYS Workbench v13. May i know how to obtain vibration data? coz i only able to obtain stress, strain & etc for solution.. I am currently using static structural analysis only. Do i have to use random vibration analysis?

hi there is an assembly of parts which i want to do static analyse on. i make the parts in cataia and import them as ''igs'' into workbench.problem 1: there are near 7 parts in my assembly which when gets into ansys , ansys doesn't recognize some of them and doesn't show them but it recognize...

The other night I was in a pub that has been converted from a disused church, they have kept the stained glass windows. One of the windows depicts an angel telling Joseph, the good news, that his fiancée is up the duff, in the background is a carpenter's bench with a vice. I know that about 0...

Hello, I am a new user both in Ansys and in the forum and I am sorry if my question is silly, but I cannot find the solution by myself. I am using Ansys Workbench v.12 static structural in order to find the displacement of various parts of a robotic arm, that are caused by different loads...

Hi everybody, I am designing conical shells in the aim to better understand the launch vehicle adapter and what changing thickness of conical shells will do to buckling load and natural frequency. I have an issue with certain equations I have characteristic equations with a critical axial...

Hello, I am used to use Ansys classic in my work. I just started to learn Ansys Workbench. I am modeling a copper jacketed lead bullet. I modeled the copper case the internal lead part. Now I have two solids. Is there a way to mate them, and use them as one assembly, of solids? Thanks

Hey guys, How do I create my own material in workbench? The material that I need is not available in engineering data. I have all the material properties that I need, just having hard time figuring that out. Thanks in advance

I have a problem that requires me to do a simple simulation of a sheet metal stamping. I have access to Ansys Workbench v12 Academic version, and have familiarized myself with the program and tried to read up on its features and limitations. The simulation is selected as a static structural...

When I model a honeycomb type composite in workbench I tired modeling the core material as an orthogonal material type using solid tet elements and the aluminum face sheets as isotropic shell elements. I base the core material properties off of the honeycomb manufactures data for stiffness...

Hello everybody, that´s a simple question: I have a symmetry problem to analisys using Structural Mechanic on Ansys Workbench. I´ve applied a Symmetry function on Design Modeler. Can I visualize the result on the whole geometry? Thank´s in advance

I have a plate 35mm X 35mm and is about 2mm thick. In the middle of the plate there is a round insert that is a different material that is .1mm thick and 10mm in dia. I am applying a uniform heat flux to the top flat surface for 5sec and then let it cool for another 5sec. When I look at the...

I am doing a nonlinear analysis in, Ansys Workbench, of a fuel tank tied down in an aircraft using cargo straps. I need to know how to insert a command function in Ansys workbench 11 that creates compression only elements (in order to model cargo straps). Based upon what have been reading I...

Hello! I'm doing a simulation in ansys workbench mechanical (12.1) of a cantilever beam (axle) fixed to a wall and loaded radialy at the other end. The funny thing here is that when the mesh is rather coarse the results regarding von-mises stress (at the support where the bending moment is...

Hello all, I have been using ANSYS 10 and now I have to upgrade to ANSYS 12.1 I have read that the Workbench interface has been redesigned from the version 10 that I used to use. Has anyone used this new interface? If so you what are your thoughts? Also, what are your thoughts on the...

Concord Consortium, an educational non-profit, offers a free simulation program called Molecular Workbench, which can be used to learn physics, chemistry and biology through cool simulations. The main page to download the software is: http://workbench.concord.org/modeler/index.html...
