Thanks for the reply cloa.
I kinda figured that I would need to do testing, but I was hoping that there was something I might have not been seeing in the data provided.
Essentially, even if I have strength tests in varying directions to grains, lamination, etc., if I do not have...
Hi Everyone,
While checking on a thread about Orthotropic and Monoclinic materials ( http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=347566 ) to see if I had gotten a response, it dawned on me: in anisotropic materials, just what are the physical interpretations of shear-shear and shear-extension...
Hi Biricio,
Looking at the pdf to your question, I have several for you actually. First off, this cylinder is part of the system and fully connected to your box, correct? Second, why have you defined the plate that you did as a rigid body? Is this plate only part of itself, leading off of...
I have the same question as Flash - what kinds of contacts do you have defined? Depending on your problem, you may need the 'rigid body dynamics' package or an imported dynamics system for impact and contacts in ANSYS. Otherwise the elements used in the traditional structural elements were not...
Hi Deepesh,
What type of set up are you currently working with? Also what version of ANSYS and tools do you have available with your license? Do you have a transient mechanical license, or can you only use static structural?
Hi Bhaski,
Actually, I believe you are applying it correctly. Its been a while since I have used direct magnetics in ANSYS without the use of Maxwell, but I may be able to help from memory.
Between the two analysis methods, you would not apply a current or current density over an entire...
Hi Bagarbilla,
Technically you can still import your model to Workbench (if the import is allowed in general) and link the set-up to an ANSYS classic (APDL) system. However, knowing what kind of program you are importing would help greatly, as well as the type of analysis system you are...
Hi Jradio,
Just to be clear, you want the transmissibility as in the transmitted forces through or onto and object, as you would see from a vibrations or control systems analysis, correct? Sometimes the term has other engineering uses, so I want to be clear. :) Or are you trying to use this...
Hi Jaoa,
I think you may want to use the RSM (Remote Solve Manager) function of ANSYS. I have lightly used it in the past, but I am not sure if you need a special license for this or not. If you have it though, you should be able to use the computer with it installed like a virtual machine...
I actually would say that you should use the BEAM189. The AISC codes are general, and depending on the material you are using, may actually be wrong. Beam4 is based off of Euler-Bernouli only, which does not account for Shear. While the AISC codes often are useful, from my understanding...
What version of Maxwell and ANSYS are you working with?
I ask because you may not actually have an error in your work, but it could be something that has been corrected in an updated version of Maxwell. If you have an active license, you should have ANSYS 14.5.7 and Maxwell 16.0.3. ANSYS...
Bluebulb,
Before you invest in any other machines, what kind of license do you have? Though more cores will help a computer in general, if you only have a two-processor (cores and processors are synonymous in licensing for ANSYS) then it will only indirectly assist your analysis time...
Hi Longfei,
Would you be able to elaborate more on your methods thus far? I assume you are using ANSYS APDL (classic)?
Also, what kind of analysis are you trying to do with this pipe? Just a simple structural one? Right now I have no idea what your goal is outside of just wanting a mesh...
Hi Ezequiel,
It is possible, but it all depends upon your geometry. Setting this up on design modeler will be key if you are using Workbench. Import your model, then build the rest of your geometry and attach it. Of course, your license may not allow this - if so, convert your solid works...
Hi izyk,
If you are going to work in Workbench, I would say that you have two options:
1) You can link your APDL work into a different workbench module.
2) Start again in Workbench.
You can do 98% of what you can in APDL with workbench, though sometimes specific functions require applying...
Nibola,
Thanks for posting your solution method, rather than just leaving the forum open. I am not currently having this issue, but its always appreciated and helpful to find completed solutions and methods like this!
Hopefully it will save someone from the same issue down the line. :)

Hi SteveFinnan,
From the image you have shown, I would expect this error to be a bug. You aren't running any scripts at this level, right?
Are you using an active license version of ANSYS? If it is not a University version, I would suggest updating to the current version 14.5.7. Often there...
Hi OAzmy,
What element type(s) are you working with? Perhaps it could be an issue with the elemental theory for your problem, or even just a mesh being too course or fine in a region.
Also, have you checked the release notes for ANSYS versions since v11? Usually for the command window basis...
enjoyhey http://eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=347256had a few good points there that are all very true.
The meshing methods are not totally different between the modes, just given a different logic set for application. Almost anything you want to do in APDL can be done in workbench, so...
Hi abaquasian,
Yes, this can be done with ANSYS. However, it will depend on the license you have available. If you have parallel processing or multiple machines, you can run these simulations simultaneously. At that point you would need to consider how many processors you would want to be...
