SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges of applying a non-parallel load to an inverted U-shaped object, specifically addressing the stress concentration resulting from a 1mm difference between the arms of the object. The user seeks to determine if this uneven load application is responsible for failure in ANSYS. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise terminology in engineering, highlighting that "non-parallel" is not an acceptable term in professional contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of load application in structural engineering
  • Familiarity with stress concentration concepts
  • Proficiency in using ANSYS for stress analysis
  • Knowledge of engineering drawing and design principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to model non-uniform loads in ANSYS
  • Learn about stress concentration factors and their calculations
  • Explore engineering drawing techniques for accurate load representation
  • Study the effects of load misalignment on structural integrity
USEFUL FOR

Structural engineers, mechanical engineers, and anyone involved in load analysis and simulation using ANSYS who needs to understand the implications of uneven load applications.

hi...

i need help regarding applying a load that is not parallel(It's like an inverted u shape object applying load but due to it's non parallelity the load that is applied on the object is non uniform)

the difference is 1mm between one arm and the other of the inverted u object

Do you have a drawing/image of this set up. What are you trying to achieve? Reusltant force?
 
the load applied on to the shaft is supposed to be parallel ...but it is not so...the load that is being applied on to the shaft is non parallel...so i need to determine the stress concentration to see whether this non parallel application of load is the cause for the failure in ansys....
 
You need to make a picture. You're an engineer. Non-parallel is a bogus non-engineering term. Stop using it.
