What exactly is the problem you are having with bending moment? I did not see anything wrong.

Holsheftn, To affirm that your model results are unacceptable, you need a design code to follow. ANSYS is a general purpose software with no code check. In order words, it is not gonna tell whether your design is ok or not. If 0.5% of plastic strain is too much, it is up to the analyst to...

Stac1987, To do what you need, you must use a table to apply the load. Whether the analysis is transient ou static, it depends on what you want as a result. They both can be used. remeber: a load that varies over time is applied by means of a table. Cheers. Steve

icetaers, Loosening the convergence tolerance criterion is something that you should never do according to ANSYS courses and to what I understand of FEA. So, instead, you can apply the same load in the opposite direction to end up with zero resultant force. Or you can use displacement...

I am so sorry I did not understand your question. The slice option can be found in Create > Slice as shown in the attached file. Don't forget to freeze your model beforehand. In addition, if you want to learn more about DM, tell me. I can upload a Design Modeler 11 course that I have from my...

Ok, You have the option to input user defined cross sections. However, in this case, you need the input the inertia and area yourself. ANSYS will not calculate it for you. In Common Section - subtype, you will find a smily face. Just enter your beam's properties that you will get what you...

Can you be more specific?

loarfer, You must have DESIGN Modeler. It is another program within Ansys Workbench. You are using Ansys Workbench Simulation. You need Ansys WorkBench Design Modeler. Cheers.

JHLynn, I am not 100# if this is possible in Classic, but you can either export your results to ANSYS Classic or use ANSYS Classic command to get what you want. ANSYS has not implemented everything from Classic in WorkBench yet. Steve

robb4, Honestly, I've never heard about this in offshore Brazil. In my opinion, the concrete coating acts as a insulation for the pipeline. So, you might wanna go back to the insulation calculation and review it. In addition, I don't think the strength of the insulation is capable of holding...

robb4, 200, 500 or 1000 seems to be too much for a pipeline which lasts 30 years usually. In addition, you need to know the water depth since at some depth, waves no longer have influence. You can define this in DNV-RP-F105. Cheers, Steve

atedionyahoo, It depends on where the span is. The span generated for crossing pipelines is different than a span on a rough seabed. However, if you need a detailed analysis, you definitely need the actual configuration of the span from a FEA. In this case, no boundary condition is required...

There is no commmand. You just have to select all bodies and then create a part.. That easy.

The glue operation in Design Modeler can be performed in two ways: grouping all bodies together in the same part or using the Boolean operation UNITE. Regards, Steve

I agree with bagarbilla. Heat generation has not to do with heat transfer coefficient. What exactly is your problem?

Maheshh, You are using ANSYS WB. So, you don't have to care about element type which is automatically chosen by the program. What you said doesn't work like that. You need to define a plasticity model and apply the properties in order the see any permanent deformation of whatever you are...

Hi Kerby43, 1) The only way to help with this is by seeing your model. 2) If you have ansys V12 you can perform result calculations (User Defined Results). If you don't, read the rst file in ANSYS classic and perform the calculation there. For instance: rotation of B minus rotation of A. Steve

Hi engn555, Both materials are with table of stress and strain. You just can't see it. No, you don't need a separete file to hold the table data. You can have as many materials as you want. If the material you are using has a plasticity model assigned to it (table data), it will be used in the...

Maheshh, I am not 100% sure I got your point, but I did not see any plasticity model in your problem description. If you don't use plasticity, you should not expect permanent deformation. Steve

Hi engn555, You definitely can do it in ANSYS WB. If you are using ANSYS V 11, you should go to Engineering Data, click Add/Remove Properties and then add the Multilinear Isotropic hardening plasticity model. When you click in the graphic, you are able to fill in your data. After you have...
