How to apply force on fence in Ansys Workbench 14

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To apply a uniform load on a grid structure in Ansys Workbench 14, calculate the force (F) using the formula F = p*A, where p is the pressure and A is the area of each grid section. Users should select all wire intersection nodes on one side of the box and apply the calculated force F to each node individually. This process must be repeated for each side of the box and the bottom. Currently, there is no direct method to select all wires simultaneously for force application.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansys Workbench 14 interface
  • Knowledge of pressure and force calculations
  • Familiarity with grid structures in finite element analysis
  • Ability to select and manipulate nodes in Ansys
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to automate node selection in Ansys Workbench
  • Learn about applying surface pressure in Ansys simulations
  • Explore scripting options in Ansys for batch processing
  • Investigate the use of element types suitable for grid structures in Ansys
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, simulation analysts, and anyone involved in structural analysis using Ansys Workbench.

I have a box, the bottom and the four walls are made of grid. I wan to apply load in the box and see how the bottom and the four walls deform (and stress too). How can I do it? I do not want to apply a force to each wire vertically and horizontally. I want to apply a load to the bottom and the walls lika applying pressure to a surface. Thanks in advance.

gu93togi: Let the pressure you want to apply be p. Compute force F = p*A, where A = area of each grid. Select all wire intersection nodes on one box side, and apply force F to each node. Repeat for each box side and the bottom. See if this might work for you.
 
I can not select all wires at the same time and apply force to them. I have to select the wire one by one. It is a way to select all wires at once and apply same force to all of them? Thank you in advance.
