Modeling a multi-story building using Ansys Apdl 14.5

AI Thread Summary
Modeling a multi-story building in Ansys APDL can be complex due to the need to create numerous beams and spars. Users are encouraged to consider importing geometry from CAD software to simplify the process. The original poster is focused on using only Ansys for the design and seeks a step-by-step guide for modeling. Clarifying the type of analysis intended for the building may also help in providing more targeted advice. Overall, detailed tutorials specific to Ansys APDL for this purpose are lacking, making community support essential.

Hello I am new to Ansys and currently conducting a study on ''property of lightweight structures'' I have read and watched videos online but nobody has the tutorials...i'm hoping someone here can help me on how to model a multi-storey building using Ansys...I hope this post makes sense. Thanks

Creating the geometric representation of a building using just Ansys APDL will be quite an undertaking, since you would be creating potentially hundreds of beams/spars. Have you considered importing a geometry file from another source?

Hey thanks for the reply..but what other source would you recommend?
 
Is the building already designed in some CAD tool? What kind of analysis are you looking to perform on said building?

The building will be designed in ansys...am using only ansys software to design and my question is how do i model the building step by step..but hey my question have been answered. Thanks a lot
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
