Ansys mechanical APDL input file creation

Click For Summary
Creating a shape memory alloy (SMA) model in Ansys Workbench 12.0 requires defining material properties in Mechanical APDL, as the software lacks a built-in SMA model. Users are seeking guidance on how to define these properties and generate the necessary input file (.inp) for analysis. There is a consensus that while the engineering library does not include an SMA model, it is possible to work around this limitation by using Mechanical APDL. However, specific instructions on creating the input file remain unclear to those participating in the discussion. Assistance in this area is highly sought after to facilitate the modeling process.

hello everybody. i have a quick question.
i am going to make a shape memory alloy model in ansys workbench 12.0 . as workbench does not have the SMA model, i have to make material properties in mechanical APDL and then make an input file. but i don't know how to define properties and make the input file.
can anybody do me a favor and help?
thank you so much.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
When you say "Workbench does not have the SMA model" do you mean the engineering library doesn't have one built-in, or just just don't know how to define one in WB?
 
actually, i haven't found the SMA model in ansys workbench and nothing was also available on the internet. everybody says that you can do it by defining the properties in Mechanical APDL and creating an input file and then complete your analysis through workbench. but i don't know how to create this input file(.inp)
thanks
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
