How to Simulate Residual Stress induced by Friction Stir Welding

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating residual stresses from friction stir welding using ANSYS Mechanical APDL. The user, an M.Tech student, seeks guidance on achieving accurate results that align with experimental data for model validation. Respondents emphasize the complexity of the task, suggesting that expertise in ANSYS multiphysics analysis is essential. They recommend formal classes or structured learning resources, as self-study through YouTube and faculty assistance may not suffice for such a comprehensive topic. Mastery of ANSYS is crucial for successful simulation and validation of the welding process.

Hello all,

I am M.Tech student and doing my dissertation on friction stir welding stimulation in ANSYS Mechanical APDL. I need to simulate residual stresses induced during welding using ANSYS.

How can I do the same, please reply. I am a beginner in ANSYS. I don't have much knowledge of ANSYS

Stimulate? Do you mean simulate?
 
yes simulate, sorry for spelling mistake
 
Honestly this is a big job for someone that is an expert in Ansys, are you really expected to just figure it out? What's the real requirement for your assignment?
 
Actually i need to match the result obtained by the ANSYS and Experimental results so that I can validate my model.
 
Sounds like you're going to need to take a class in Ansys multiphysics analysis, there's way too much to cover on an internet forum. Are there any classes you can take to learn how to use the software?
 
i learn ANSYS from you tube, ANSYS help and few of my college faculties
