Click For Summary

Meshing in Ansys for beams created using nodes is a topic of inquiry, particularly when traditional methods like keypoints are not suitable for stepped beams with varying cross-sectional areas. Users are seeking guidance on whether meshing is feasible with nodes and how to implement it effectively. One suggestion references a specific post for further insights. The discussion highlights the challenges faced in beam creation and the need for alternative meshing techniques. Overall, the feasibility of meshing with nodes remains a key concern for users working with complex beam geometries.

Hello guys,
I've created beam3 using Nodes. How can I do Meshing? Or for Nodes it is not possible?
I can not create the beam by keypoints, cause I need to do stepped beam with different cross-sectional area.
Thank you.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
