How to join honeycomb and skin in ansys apdl for sandwich structure

AI Thread Summary
To join honeycomb core and face sheets in ANSYS APDL for a sandwich structure, users are encountering errors when attempting to mesh using Shell 281 for the skin and Shell 181 for the core. The primary issue arises from the inability to mesh Shell 281 due to mid-point node errors. Suggestions include verifying the geometry and ensuring proper alignment of nodes between the core and skin. Additionally, users are seeking recommendations for alternative elements suitable for the skin of a honeycomb sandwich beam. Effective resolution of these meshing issues is crucial for successful modeling.

I modeled honeycomb core and face sheet seperately now i want to add or glue them to make a sandwich but it shows error so how can i join them.anyone please

I think you need to give more information?
 
My first problem has been solved i draw face sheet above the core,but when i am using shell 281 for skin and shell 181 for honey comb core which i found best for the purpose the meshing is not achieved in case of shell 281 for skin many errors are coming like mid point nodes cannot be meshed.can anyone pls tell me which element i choose for skin of a honeycomb sandwich beam.its urgent.thanks in advance
 

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...
