    Convergence Tolerance

    Hi everyone, I want to ask a question about convergence tolerance. As much as I know, the program determines the convergence when force approaches to the predicted value as close as %0.5 and displacement %5. I also heard something but im not sure yet, which is that, Ansys determines a factor...

    Target Contact Element

    Hello, Sorry mihaiupb, i could not get it. Is this answer for my second question (Why works in Static Analysis and why not in Transient)? Well i gave the same substep number for the same displacement for both. Isn't that enough? Thanks for your response, by the way, I appriciate you. Regards...

    Target Contact Element

    Hi everyone, I was trying to do an analysis and i defined a contact couple as "rigid contact with pilot node". As long as i know the purpose of this option is to determine a rigid contact element and that you will use it moving, for you also define a pilot node whose movement gives the rigid...

    Structural Problem When Importing Parasolid File Format

    Hi everyone, I have another problem occured while importing my model into Ansysin parasolid file format. I posted this message to SolidWorks forum as well for i don't know if the problem occurs in SolidWorks or Ansys. Anyway, I want to draw one quarter of a solid sphere. Actually, it is not a...

    How to Remove a Part from a 3D Solid Drawing?

    I mean, consider a sphere with r=3. I wanna cut the region of the sphere out where z=2 and z>2. Hope i could clear it. Regards, Can

    Mirroring Loads and BCs in ANSYS

    Hi, Thank you DonTonino, that was the asnwer actually, I dont have to reflect it, I have to put symmetric boundary conditions. Yes, all those things are symmetric:) Thanks again. Regards, Can

    How to Remove a Part from a 3D Solid Drawing?

    Hi, This looks like a very easy question but I am really new at using SolidWorks and any help will be appriciated. Assume that we have a 3D solid drawing. How can we remove a part of it through a surface? I mean, if I want to remove from z=2 surface, what should I do? Regards, Can

    Eccentric Errors at Axis While Experting Parasolid for Ansys

    Hi, I have a problem with the drawing that i do in SolidWorks. I am kinda new at it so I am a bit confused. I want to draw one quarter of a solid sphere. Actually, its not a sphere but we can consider it as a sphere. I drew quarter of a circle and two lines starting at the end points of quarter...

    Mirroring Loads and BCs in ANSYS

    Hi, My purpose was to reduce the time at solving process when I defined symmertic small piece and reflect it multiple times. So I thought if i mesh the small piece and then reflect the volume and mesh together, then i thought my purpose would be satisfied. However, as you mentioned and as the...

    Mirroring Loads and BCs in ANSYS

    Hi, I have a question basicly related to this forum. Actually I want to know the exact symmetry conditions that cbrn mentioned. I mean, lets assume that we have a half sphere. Then we reflected it to make it a full sphere. But in fact we have two half spheres facing each other. As much as I...

    How to generate a Sphere?

    Hello everyone, I want to ask a simple procedure question for i hope the answer of this question will lead me to generate my own special shape that i want to draw in SolidWorks. My question is simple and hope the answer is as well: How can I draw a 3D AND full of material (not just shell, not...

    Structural Problem When Importing Parasolid File Format

    Thanks guys, I tried your suggestions however it is still the same. Now I think, it may be because of the solid structure made in Solidworks. Maybe, I should check it again. But thank you very much for your posts. Regards, Can

    Structural Problem When Importing Parasolid File Format

    Hi, I have a structure drawn in SolidWorks and exported as parasolid format (*.x_t). Then, I wanted to use this structure in Ansys but when I tried to import it to Ansys, I just saw the contour of the drawing. I mean, for instance i drew a sphere in Solidworks and exported it, but when i import...

    Defining Multi load-steps

    Hi all, I asked this question before but i could not succeeded to define different load steps. Whenever i do the first load step run, then i define a second load, for instance, then i arrange the "time at the end of load step" in the "solution controls" menu to the desired value and then i run...

    Adding Viscoelastac Effects (Prony Series)

    Hi, I have a question about viscoelasticity. In Ansys, when determining a viscoelasticity effects using prony option, should i use volumetric and share response dataset together or is it enough to fill one response dataset? I mean, if i just enter the "alpha" and "t" terms of shear response of...

    Adding Viscoelastac Effects (Prony Series)

    Hi cbrn, Well you are right, I am just doing some tryouts to find out the effect of the viscoelastic parameters. However, one of the parameters i have to enter is relaxation time constant which is in sec unit actually. So, I don't think I can assume 1 "time-unit" = 10 "seconds" for if I assume...
