Hi, I am modelling an internally reinforced beam, composed of steel sheet of 2 mm in ANSYS MECHANICAL APDL. I am applying concentrated loads as simple bending. I need the deflection results in at least one point. Shall I use the point where the load is applied? Or any other point is suitable...

Hi, I am designing a multi-solid CAD model in INVENTOR and I am trying to import it to ANSYS MECHANICAL APDL for FEA. I tried to import it in .x_t, .sat, .IGS. Nothing works. The best I can get is a good geometry in the .sat format, but ANSYS quickly crashes if I try to do something to the...

Hi, I am using ANSYS Mechanical APDL in the company I am working in and I need to run +100 APDL input files. What should I do to automate the process? I would like to know if there is any tool that allows me to create of input files to be run by order and save the relevant parameters to text...

Hi Mr. Brian, Thanks for the reply. It is not really a problem, because this ribbing pattern will be applied to several structures, all of them already tested.

Hi Mr. Berkshire, After extensive study, we found out that the lower the thickness is, the better will be the behaviour of the part in relation to unribbed parts. This was tested numerically with very fine mesh.

Hi Mr. Mike, Are you allowed to fold the free rib edges to stiffen them? No Can you post a textbook or something about what you suggested? And can you detail more your explanation? thanks, Hugo

Hi Mr. Berkshire, Thanks for your reply, I'm answering your questions below: You do not say what material you want to use Structural Steel, can be a Dual-Phase or another and you do not give us the size of the part. The plate shall have dimensions of 2*300*1000 mm. The ribbed...

Hi Mr. Mike, Thanks for your reply. Below I'm answering your questions: What experimental testing? It is for simple bending and torsion loads, both separately and coupled. Why would anyone care about chemical composition of a structural part? Chemical composition is important...

Hello, So I want to manufacture a structure with cross ribs, as shown in attachment. My question is: how can I manufacture it? I think it is better to manufacture the ribs and the plate separately. I was thinking about using angle soldering, but the surfaces have much different dimensions, and...

TheTick, Many thanks, That book is exactly what I was looking for!!

Ok, so now I found one: Do you think this book is good? : James M. Gere, Barry J. Goodno, "Mechanics of Materials", SI Edition (8th edition)

Actually yes. I don't know the keyword I shall use. I only found wikipedia (LOL)

Hello all, I would like to have bibliographic references of books about the mass moment of inertia, area moment of inertia, center of mass. centroids, etc. Thanks, Hugo Silva

Hello, I am doing a CAD draft on Inventor, and I have a part that has 1000 mm lenght. It does not fill the paper. I know how can I break the part, but what about the dimensions? How can I tell the model that I want to reduce 900 mm, lets say, and still have a 1000 mm dimension, with the break...

Hello All, I am modelling a structure in ANSYS APDL and I need to compare the Inertia moment of the structure given by ANSYS with analytical calculations. My structure can be considered as several rectangular parts. I know that I=b*h^3/12 in relation to the center of mass. But for this case, in...

Hi, Thanks for all the replies. To CompositePro: I would like to know more about Furnace braze. Can you post a document about its fundaments, with schemes?? To Tmoose: Yes, all the stiffeners are full-section To MikeHalloran: Can you post the link?? I can't find it on google...

Hello all, I am trying to manufacture a ribbed plate that is reinforced inside with stiffeners. I can weld the stiffeners to one plate, but then I want to weld the other plate, and I can't access the reinforcement. The stiffeners have low thickness, like 2-3 mm. I´m attaching a picture of a FEM...

Thanks for the reply MikeHalloran and rb1957 To MikeHalloran: Sorry about my lack of knowledge about technical terms in English but what do you mean by : -fin -"mill slots" "stepped on two edges" "weld seams" Do you have any document (.pdf for instance) that you can attach with schemes about...

Thanks for the reply, A rib is between 30-50 cm long. The ribs are not all oriented in the same direction a beam with section width b=0,2 m and section height h=0,3 m and lenght L=1m has 10-20 ribs in each side. Material is construction steel. Thickness of the ribs and of the beam is 2-4 mm...

Dear all, I´m new in this forum. I don't even know if this section is the most appropriate to post my question. I want to manufacture a steel beam that is ribbed inside. Basically it´s an hollow-box beam, but it is not bulk along the thickness. It is internally reinforced with steel ribs. I...
