How to Apply a Non-Uniform Sinusoidal Load on a Cylinder in ANSYS?

AI Thread Summary
To apply a non-uniform sinusoidal load on a cylinder in ANSYS, users can utilize APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language) to define the load based on node or element coordinates. APDL allows for batch scripting, enabling the definition of custom load functions such as sin(x). Detailed documentation is available to assist in understanding the implementation process. Users can also request sample APDL files for practical guidance. The discussion emphasizes the need for applying consistent loads across coordinates on the cylinder.

How can I set a non uniform load (for example sin(x)) in on a cylinder ring?

Apdl

Hello elena,

you may get the coordinate of the node/element by apdl and define any function for the load also using apdl. Apdl is some kind of batch/script programming implemented within Ansys. You might inspect the detailled documentation/help for more informations. You also can send me a pm for a sample apdl-file.
 
Thanks so much and sorry that i was late to thank you!
 
I'm also studing same problem. I have a cylinder. I want to apply a non uniform load. I can apply one coordınate. I want to apply same load as parallel . Can you help me? How can I set load (depends on only x coordinate) in on a cylinder
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
