Analyzing a Beam with One Degree Freedom in ANSYS APDL

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on analyzing a beam with one degree of freedom using ANSYS APDL software. The user is encountering discrepancies in the calculated period, expecting a value of 2π for a beam with mass and stiffness both equal to 1, but receiving a different result. There is a request for additional insights or findings from others who may have faced similar issues. The conversation highlights potential challenges in using ANSYS for dynamic analysis. Clarification on the software's output and parameters is sought to resolve the discrepancy.

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.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
