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 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
