Analysis Ansys Spring

Click For Summary

To optimize ANSYS for spring analysis, it is crucial to specify the material properties that differentiate springs from standard metal components. Users should define the spring's geometry accurately and select appropriate boundary conditions to reflect its behavior under load. The discussion highlights the importance of using spring-specific material models, such as those for elastomers or composite materials, to achieve realistic results. Proper meshing techniques tailored for springs can also enhance accuracy in simulations. Understanding these settings is essential for obtaining reliable analysis outcomes in ANSYS.

How do you select the settings to analyse a spring?

How do you let ANSYS know that this is a spring (not a normal piece of metal) that I want to analyse?

What do you make your springs out of if not ordinary metal?

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
