Symmetry Problem Analysis in Ansys Workbench

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on analyzing symmetry problems using Structural Mechanics in Ansys Workbench. A user inquires about visualizing results across the entire geometry after applying the Symmetry function in Design Modeler. The response suggests that while the Symmetric Expansion option exists, it may not be applicable within the Workbench environment for this specific visualization task.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansys Workbench interface
  • Familiarity with Structural Mechanics analysis
  • Knowledge of Design Modeler features

Hello everybody,

that´s a simple question: I have a symmetry problem to analisys using Structural Mechanic on Ansys Workbench.

I´ve applied a Symmetry function on Design Modeler. Can I visualize the result on the whole geometry?

Thank´s in advance

I believe it's Style>Symmetric Expansion. I believe it's at the very bottom. That gives you cartesian and cylindrical expansion options.

Oh...you're in Workbench. I don't know of a way to do it in Workbench, sorry.
 
I have encountered a vertically oriented hydraulic cylinder that is designed to actuate and slice heavy cabling into sections with a blade. The cylinder is quite small (around 1.5 inches in diameter) and has an equally small stroke. The cylinder is single acting (i.e. it is pressurized from the bottom, and vented to atmosphere with a spring return, roughly 200lbs of force on the spring). The system operates at roughly 2500 psi. Interestingly, the cylinder has a pin that passes through its...
