AI Thread Summary
To model three very thin layers bonded together in Ansys, users can utilize laminated shell elements, which are suitable for such configurations. Selecting shell elements in Ansys Workbench is straightforward, especially if the model consists of flat surfaces, as they will automatically mesh into shells. Given the small film thickness of approximately 0.0011 inches, it's crucial to consider the relevant effects in the simulation, such as bending or deformation. New users are encouraged to seek tutorials for guidance on shell element selection and modeling techniques. Properly addressing these factors will enhance the accuracy of the simulation results.

I am new to Ansys and I wish to model 3 very thin layers of different materials bonded to each other. Can someone please reply back.

Thank you

Laminated shell elements. I guess there's an easy material you can define in WB for that.
 
I am new to ansys so this question may sound silly.. How do we select shell element in Ansys work bench? do u have any link to a tutorial?

My film thickness is very small approx. 0.0011 inch composed of 3 layers.

I hardly have any experience with ANSYS either. But I'm sure if your model is made from flat surfaces (not solids) then it'll automatically mesh into shells.

However, with all that thinness, make sure you'll be modelling the relevant effects. Is it bending, pretensioned, deforming a lot?
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
