    Ansys Workbench Pin Joints (end node release)

    Had anybody produced an automatic command script to release end moments of all beams (beam188) or found a way of changing the beam elements from beam188 to link8 elements. I have a complex 3D truss type structure. I thought there would have been an option in workbench to change the element type...

    Duplicate Elements

    Is there an easy way to assess a model to determine if there are any duplicate elements (i.e. 2 elements lying on top of each other) thanks

    Friction co-efficient for paint on steel

    Does anybody have any rough values for the friction co-efficient between a painted floor and a steel plate, or website that may have this sort of data. thanks

    Non Linear Analysis Problem

    Yes same operating system and same version of ansys.

    Non Linear Analysis Problem

    We are having problems with running a non linear problem on Ansys. We have created a model in workbench and saved an input file. This is then imported into Ansys classic. Using 2 separate machines, on one machine the analysis runs right through to the last time step and converges. On the other...

    Ansys Designmodeler question

    I have a model of a 2m cubed box with a hole for a lid on top, this model has been produced in autodesk inventor and is thin (3mm thick). I have the inventor module for designmodeler and wish to bring it across. I wish to perform a mid surface extraction of the solid model so that i can use...

    split a surface?

    sorry i forgot to mention....the above question was relating to ansys designmodeler. thanks anyway

    split a surface?

    Whats the best way to split a surface. eg If ive got say a square surface and i want to split it into 2 independant surfaces. I have been experimenting with slice but having no luck. thanks

    Single Rotational Constraint

    Thanks for the reply, I actually found a way by the time I read this. I was able to create a rotational constraint by creating a slection named point1 and using a command with the following code: /prep7 cmsel,s,point1 d,all,roty allsel finish /solution thanks

    Single Rotational Constraint

    Is it possible to create a single axis rotational constraint at a keypoint(point) in workbench simulation rather than a rotational constraint in all 3 axes? I just want to constrain a keypoint with a similar contraint as dk,,roty would be applied in ansys classic. thanks

    How stupid am i! thanks for the help...much appreciate it!

    Ansys Designmodeler question?

    Thanks for your help again... sorry another question... when i mesh a surfaced model in simulation and export to ansys via an input file i get MESH200 elements. Can i not mesh in shell elements? cheers

    Ansys Designmodeler question?

    Thankd for your help guys! Think i may have stumbled across the imprint faces feature today. but when i imported the anf file into ansys classic. I got an area over another area, hence i got elements over elements when i meshed. Also, the analysis im doing requires placing a varing load with...

    Ansys Designmodeler question?

    I am just starting out at learning DM. I have modelled a tube with some cutouts as a mid-surface shell structure. I want to send this model into ansys classic for some non-linear dynamic work. There are a few things i cant get to grips with 1. I cant seem to be able to export a named selection...
